Getting to know Brian Petry
Hi there, I'm Brian!
Welcome—I am here to help you achieve your goals. I hold a Master’s in Psychology from Brandman University and am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in the State of California.
My approach
I view each person through a holistic lens, recognizing the intricate parts that work together to create our current situation. I collaborate with clients to develop a treatment plan focused on their goals. I see myself as someone who has the tools and expertise on how to use them, but the client is the one who decides what they want to build.
My focus
I work with a wide range of clients but specialize in self-esteem issues, PTSD, anxiety, and depression.
My communication style
My communication style is professional with hints of warmth and understanding. Working with me is challenging but rewarding. Often, clients feel a little worse before they start feeling better—much like beginning a fitness routine with a coach.
My goals for you
My approach to goal setting is collaborative. Just as a GPS guides you to your destination, I believe therapy should do the same. Each person’s destination is unique and should be decided by the client. As your therapist, I help you explore possible destinations and show you how to get there.
My first session with you
In our first session, we’ll explore what brought you to this point. Together, we’ll create short-term and long-term goals to navigate your current situation. Then, we’ll learn skills and work through vulnerabilities to help prevent similar challenges from arising again.

Brian has really helped us learn more about how our neurodivergent son’s brain works. He goes above and beyond to be available as needed.

Highly recommend Brian as a therapist! He takes the time to listen without judgment and provide logical explanations and structure to my scattered thoughts. He's able to offer different perspectives and tools/methods to practice as homework to overcome the challenges in facing. He genuinely cares about his clients' well-being.
