Getting to know Brian Kaufman

Hi there, I'm Brian! Hello. My name is Brian Kaufman. I am a licensed clinical social worker in California with 18 years of professional experience. I earned my Master's in Social Work from California State University, Long Beach. I have experience helping clients with stress and anxiety, anger management, career difficulties, and bipolar disorder. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach I have no defined approach because every client is different. My approach will be tailored to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage, and I am proud of you for getting started! My focus I have worked with those with severe mental illness for over 16 years. I have also worked for many years with employment, job, and career-related issues. I work mostly with men, focusing on men's issues and relationships from the male perspective. My communication style My communication style is very direct, but at the same time, I let my clients guide the session. My journey to mental healthcare I'm a social worker at heart. I'm here to help others. My goals for you Whatever goal a client wants to work on, we will work on it together. My first session with you I am here to listen and understand, and that's what I will be doing a lot of in that first session.
