Getting to know Brad Watkins

Hi, I'm Brad Watkins, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California. I hold a Master’s in Counseling Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies. I provide experiential, emotion-focused psychotherapy, where most of the “work” happens during our sessions. My approach centers on experiential methods, usually emotion-focused, helping clients engage deeply with their feelings in the moment. I work primarily with adults facing depression, anxiety, and substance use challenges. Additionally, I support those exploring transpersonal, spiritual, and integration issues. I strive to create a space where clients feel truly understood and appreciated, especially as they navigate difficult emotions and experiences. My journey to therapy began in childhood, driven by a lifelong curiosity about human nature and a desire to help others feel better. Since college, I have worked in a variety of settings that have enriched my understanding and skills. In our first session, we often explore different aspects or “parts” of you, working together to foster healing and growth.
