I've been treated for the past close to 2 years by Mr. Lissak , and I can't state enough how much of an integral role he has played in me taking power of my life back. He listens well, he reacts well, and he is very considerate. He manages to understand the patient in a way that a close friend or a family member would understand, and that attention and care, to me, are extremely important and extremely appreciated. I highly recommend that anyone talk to him. He made a big impact on my life!

Brian is adaptable, intelligent, and direct in his therapeutic approach. His worked has helped me make tremendous growth professionally and personally. I could not give him a higher recommendation.
DPVerified patient
Brian is a wonderful therapist, and I can't recommend him enough. I’ve had years of conventional talk therapy that only got me so far, but his approach is unique and holistic: he works not just top-down through the mind, but bottom-up at the level of the body and nervous system, drawing on an interesting blend of different modalities. He takes his work seriously, and he's kind, empathetic, and deeply attuned. On days when I'm anxious and all over the map, his presence is grounding and reassuring.
Our sessions cover everything from emotions, daily habits, unhealthy patterns and behaviors, to deep-seated trauma, books, and headier topics like freedom, agency, responsibility, and spirituality. He has a surprising ability to connect seemingly unrelated threads, and those connections have given me deeper self-understanding and self-compassion. He’s changed how I show up in my work, my marriage, and with friends and family. I've had a lot of therapists over the years, and Brian is singular.

I came to Brian for trauma and IFS work, and he’s incredibly knowledgeable in both. He draw on current research and has the latest modalities like EMDR and SSP in his toolkit, but what stood out to me is that he carefully tracked my progress and made sure I was ready for these tools before introducing them to my treatment plan. I always felt seen and supported without ever feeling pushed. He sets a high bar for mental health care.

Brian is incredible at steadily and understandingly walking with you to new realities and building a better relationship to yourself. He is direct when needed and unlike many therapists I’ve worked with will also challenge limiting beliefs to help reach better understandings.
Speaking only from what I have personally worked on - If you are looking to develop better self esteem, confidence, relationships, or navigating a life transition, I could not recommend working with Brian enough.

I came to Brian for complex trauma and IFS work, and he’s incredibly knowledgeable in both. He draw on current research and has the latest modalities like EMDR and SSP in his toolkit, but what stood out to me is that he carefully tracked my progress and made sure I was ready for these tools before introducing them to my treatment plan. During my sessions, I always felt seen and supported without ever feeling pushed. He sets a high bar for mental health care.

Been working with Brian for over a year. It’s been really helpful and I have personally recommended him and his methodology to a few people. We focus on biofeedback
MKVerified patient
Brian is wise beyond his years. He’s a pleasure to learn from, and has had a significant impact on the way I move through life. I would recommend working with him to anyone.
AKVerified patient
Finding a good therapist is hard. I was lucky to find Brian, he made me feel comfortable right away.
I was skeptical going in as I'm not great at opening up, but something about the way Brian carries himself just makes it easy. He's warm without being over the top about it, and he listens in a way that makes you feel like what you're saying actually matters. No rushed energy, no clipboard vibes.
On the professional side, he clearly knows his stuff. Sessions always felt purposeful, never like we were just filling time. But it never felt stiff or textbook either.
The biggest thing for me was learning to genuinely relax, not just white-knuckle my way through stress. Brian gave me real, practical tools that I still use like biofeedback, learning to breathe and a lot of it came from just being in his presence. Would definitely recommend Brian.
MKVerified patient
