Life is challenging. Finding out who we are in this world is both rewarding and painful. A comfortable and safe space, along with support and someone who listens can make all the difference on the journey of self-discovery. Sometimes being able to just sit, take a breath, take a moment or cry it out can help us continue moving forward. I work with LGBTQIA+, trans community, individuals struggling with identity concerns, anxiety, trauma, depression, relationship issues, personal growth, and more.

Tiny humans come with big emotions. As a parent, it can feel daunting to be mindful of your emotions as well as the big emotions of your little one. Fortunately, this task does not have to be done alone.

Brian Chapman MFT I view therapy as a way to deal with the unmet challenges in our lives, and it's a chance to work through some of the most difficult issues that we struggle with. These challenges could be anxiety, depression, substance abuse, and marital difficulties, to name a few. I will guide you on a path whose goal is to help you share and be vulnerable in a nonjudgmental environment. This is my belief, along with helping you to realize that you can find the strength to heal with guidance that is compassionate and empathetic. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.

My goal in counseling clients is to support and walk alongside my clients as they heal, change, grow and become someone they love unconditionally. Counseling is a collaborative process that helps clients gain self-awareness and acceptance. Life is tough and people do not always have the support they need to navigate it. I believe everyone’s voice is important and work hard to provide a safe space for people to have a voice. People are unique in the way they view society, family, relationships, and themselves; so, providing a non-judgmental space for them to be free and gain awareness is something I strive for in counseling clients.

Life often comes with ups and downs that can be hard to navigate alone. In therapy, I provide a safe place where clients can be their true selves and are open to exploring deeper into the challenges they are currently facing. Often, our childhood, relationship experiences, and current place in life influence what we think about ourselves and how we navigate the world. When people find themselves yearning for understanding and connection, therapy is a place where exploration, understanding, and validation can make all the difference. I support clients in finding balance and healing while being their authentic selves.

I approach my work with clients from the perspective that mental and emotional challenges are often a sign that something is out of balance. While this imbalance may be uncomfortable, even deeply painful at times, it can be a strong motivator for change. Positive change occurs when we are willing to bring our full awareness to our lives, including the difficult and painful parts. This process is facilitated by a safe, supportive environment and a willingness to explore new ways of thinking, feeling, and engaging with the world.

My focus is within psychodynamic concepts, allowing for us to address life experiences, that can be both defined and understood through metaphor. In therapy, we are solidifying your understanding of what an experience may symbolize for you. My goal is to provide therapy that facilitates a deeper understanding of your experience. I view therapy as a medium that can lead to long-lasting change, as a treatment, utilized as an exploration of insight and compassionate engagement, to help you identify what obstacles are getting in the way of your personal and professional growth.

I practice psychology as a profession, and focus much of my hobbies around self-improvement. I made a vow to myself early in my career that I would create the life that made therapy most effective for others, and would maintain accountability for changes to be made in my life to be of service to others. When it comes to addressing psychological suffering we must consider the paradox of wanting to start, knowing where to put our attention, and ultimately, to begin the journey of change. Transformational psychotherapy is the discovery and exploration of mental clarity, self-restraint, connection, autonomy, and authenticity.

It’s 8 pm the night before your work project is due, and the pressure is on. Your boss assigned this three weeks ago, and you kept telling yourself you had more time. Now, there are less than 12 hours to hand it in, and you haven’t even begun. But, rather than finally starting, you look for anything else to do. “The oven could use a deep clean,” you decide to yourself. You watch the clock tick, and your stress builds until you have no choice but to start, but by then, it’s too late to do it right. So you hand in the work late again, rushed and full of errors. You hate letting yourself and others down but don’t know another way.

Let's skip the catchy intro, no one wants to be talked to like a 3am infomercial. But wait! There's more! We all want to feel loved, understood, wanted and heard. I use a variety of techniques to foster and growth for clients (individually and/or within their relationships). How do you explain to someone whats wrong when you don't know what's wrong yourself? My first step is providing insight to increase self-value and help you and/or your partner(s) understand the dynamics and core wounds at play. Second step, healing.

I help individuals and couples learn to change the way they think about problems to create healthier, happier lives. We'll work on replacing distorted, negative beliefs that may be hampering your personal growth and relationships. Learning about your attachment style can also help you understand your emotional needs in relationship and why you and your partner can feel so out of sync at times.

Many people are finding that they are facing challenges that were unexpected. For many of us, continuing on without changing is likely to result in developing meaningless habits, alcohol/substance abuse, ignoring work/relationships, or engaging in self-sabotaging behaviors. Often times there are internal barriers, patterns, or ways of thinking that prevent us from making the changes in our lives. Through understanding our defenses and patterns of behavior, I believe therapy can help to assist in uncovering hope, insight, and develop new skills so you may move forward with passion and purpose.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors.
Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the United States could cost between $100 and $200 or more. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship. Therapists in the United States are bound by the regulations set out by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which aims to protect sensitive health information. With very few exceptions, a therapist will only discuss their client with others when the client has given their written permission. The instances in which a therapist would be required to disclose personal information are: if a client poses a danger to themselves or others, if the therapist suspects the abuse of a child or an elderly or otherwise dependent adult, or if they are legally forced to by court order. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed with a client before their first session.
