Getting to know Gabriel Brand

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with over 10 years of experience in the field of mental health. I earned my Master’s in Counseling from California State University, Fullerton. My specialty is working with addictions and substance use, but I also have substantial experience in trauma, grief, men’s issues, anxiety, depression, anger management, and navigating relationship challenges and life stress. My approach In working with clients, I draw from multiple modalities tailored to the individual’s needs. I typically use psychodynamic therapy and attachment-style theory to explore the root causes of issues, while also incorporating dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to provide solution-focused strategies. These help individuals manage current symptoms, challenge automatic thought patterns, and regulate emotions. Additionally, I offer EMDR therapy to address trauma and assist in processing and resolving distressing memories and experiences. My focus My approach and experience are well-suited for individuals struggling with addictions/substance abuse, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, grief, and trauma. Using a strength-based approach, I encourage autonomy and empowerment to help you develop skills and strategies for making positive choices and meaningful change. My communication style I prioritize creating a safe, welcoming, and empathic environment where you feel heard and understood. We work collaboratively to explore issues and develop treatment goals. At times, I may offer psychoeducation; at others, I may simply listen. Throughout, I strive to provide a safe, non-judgmental space that is respectful and promotes vulnerability. My journey to mental healthcare I was drawn to therapy largely based on my own life struggles and experiences, as well as witnessing friends and family members face their mental health challenges.
