Brian Bea Hamilton, LMFT

Psychotherapist
CA
Hi there, I'm Brian (Bea)! Have you ever used a superhero origin story to explain your anxiety, found deep comfort in cozy gaming, or felt like you’re constantly trying to navigate a world that wasn't built for your unique neurotype or identity? If so, you have come to the right space. My focus I particularly enjoy working with kids, teens, families, as well as members of the geek and LGBT+ communities. My approach As an affirming, LGBTQ+ inclusive therapist, my approach combines evidence-based mindfulness practices, play interventions, and attachment-based modalities to address trauma, anxiety, child behaviors, and parenting struggles. My communication style I love to use stories, books, movies, religion, mythology, and pop culture references to explain difficult to underestand psychological concepts because if you have a story to help you understand the issue, you're more likely to remember it so you can apply it to your own experiences. My journey to mental healthcare I had a friend who was struggling with anxiety attacks. Using mindfulness-based interventions I learned on my own, I was able to help him get through the night and seek help the next day. I realized then I could be good at this and decided to change my career goals to become a therapist. My goals for you We’ll break down what’s happening beneath the surface and equip you with concrete, actionable tools—giving you the skills and self-understanding needed to level up and master your life. Our first session First sessions are about getting to know how your symptoms manifest in your life. Second sessions are devoted to understanding you as a person. We might do one intervention in the second session. Session three forward will be when we really tackle your issues and do the real work of retelling your story togther.
