Getting to know Brian Espe
Hi! I'm Brian, a therapist based in Western North Carolina. I earned my Master's in Social Work from Western Carolina University and have dedicated the last decade of my life serving people in need of support to overcome a variety of issues. I care deeply about the people I work with, which drives me to provide the best mental health services possible every time they show up (and sometimes when they don't). I have extensive training and experience using a variety of therapeutic modalities, including cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy, but I prioritize the therapeutic relationship above all else. I specialize in adolescent issues, depression, anxiety, anger management, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and men's issues.
I'm a fully licensed clinical social worker in North Carolina, Vermont, and Colorado, and I offer a sliding scale for services because I believe everyone should have access to therapy regardless of their financial situation. If you would like to make changes in your life or just want to talk through something, please feel free to reach out.
What should a new client know about working with you?
You can expect me to show up to sessions fully, attentively, and without judgment. My role as a therapist is similar to that of a personal trainer. I can’t lift weights or do exercises for you, but I can help you develop exercises for your mind so you can strengthen your emotional fitness.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
