Getting to know Brett McGillivray

I am Brett McGillivray, LCSW. I have been an LCSW since 2005 and bring a variety of clinical and life experiences to meet you where you are, assess your needs, and create a treatment plan tailored for you. I am empathic, direct, and supportive. My approach My approach to therapy varies based on each client’s needs. I most frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. These modalities help us develop a shared understanding of your current reality and work together to build a path forward. My focus I work with a diverse range of clients, from teens through seniors. I can assist with problem-solving, creating tools to manage mood, processing life issues, and exploring purpose at different stages of development. My communication style I create the tone and environment needed for each session. I have an easy, open communication style that fosters rapport and safety. I can be direct when supporting you through challenging issues and embracing when needed. My focus is always on your session. My journey to mental healthcare I am a sober man with over 30 years of sobriety. From this journey, I began providing support and listening to others. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Southern California and have worked with a variety of populations, focusing on adolescents in crisis, seniors finding purpose, and cultivating compassion for our shared human condition. My goals for you I partner with you in setting goals, providing listening and feedback, and ultimately supporting what you want to achieve through this work. My first session with you Our first session will be about getting familiar with each other, reviewing ground rules and expectations, addressing necessary disclosures, and listening to what you want to create with therapy.
