Everyone has a story to tell, and a unique set of circumstances, challenges, and experiences that make us who we are. I became a therapist because I believe everyone deserves a safe space in which they can be heard and receive support in navigating any issue that prevents them from being the person they want to be. I have experience working with children, teens, and their families, as well as young adults, working on issues ranging from anxiety and depression to self-esteem, trauma, difficulty adjusting to life transitions, complicated relationships, or with people who simply wanted to get to know themselves better.

Hello, my name is Brian Fernandez. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). My approach in therapy is focused on providing you with coping skills to help you manage stressors, while at the same time helping you identify changes you may want to make that enable you to lead a more genuine and fulfilling life. My areas of practice focus on depression, anxiety, grief, and interpersonal relationships. By far the majority of clients I've worked with have been young adults struggling with anxiety and/or depression. I've also been privileged to have helped many people dealing with grief, as well as interpersonal relationships.

Everyone deserves an enriching life full of meaning and purpose regardless of the difficulties that may come our way. My goal is to provide an affirming space for you to develop a deep understanding of yourself, explore challenges you’re facing both internally and externally, and discover healthy ways to achieve your goals. No matter where our work together takes us, you will always receive unconditional acceptance, respect, and care.

I truly enjoy working with clients who are seeking understanding of themselves and wanting to create some change in their lives. I also understand that true intimacy is created from the client-patient relationship, therefore it is tantamount to find the right therapist that you (the patient) feels safe/comfortable enough to say anything that is needed in order to illicit insight/change. I ask that all my clients outline specific therapeutic goals so that together we be clear as to our purpose and stay the course of treatment. I am client-focused and open to feedback since treatment is made for the client.

HelIo! I'm glad you're here. If you are feeling anxious, stuck, struggling with self-esteem, relationships, or life in general, I can offer a warm, compassionate, and - when appropriate - humorous space for you to openly express yourself. My approach is rooted in kindness, curiosity, and understanding. I work collaboratively with my clients, tailoring the therapeutic experience to meet their needs and priorities in a way that feels most accessible in the moment. Together we can explore current and past experiences to promote insight and self-awareness, and examine habits and thought patterns that no longer serve you.

The main predictor that determines if therapy will be successful is the client’s connection with their therapist. That is why it is crucial to find a therapist who is empathetic to your journey and approaches you without judgment. It is my goal to empower my clients to take the lead in their therapeutic journey. I work alongside you in a warm and understanding environment where you can explore your emotions and find better ways to deal with the stressors in life. We will collaborate to increase your self-esteem, develop healthy boundaries and enhance your relationships.

Hello! I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have specialized in working with children and parents as well as with individuals with past trauma experience. I am both certified in Positive Parenting Training and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. As a parent myself, I know that becoming a parent can often feel challenging and overwhelming. I can help you, I am passionate about supporting young parents in gaining practical tools that can be implemented in their daily lives and parent from a place of confidence. I strive to help you in building skills that are actionable and tailored to your own family.

Please Note: I will be on maternity leave January through the end of March. When you work with me, you are welcomed into a safe space where you can explore your inner world, experience growth, feel comforted, supported, and challenged. I believe that YOU are in possession of the answers to your questions. My intention is to assist as you explore your truths, dismantle stories that no longer feel accurate, and re-connect with your authentic self. It’s important to me that you experience positive growth, and that you do so while feeling safe.

Changes in relationships, starting a family, navigating a breakup, leaving for college, changing careers, or unexpected situations, to name a few- could elicit discomfort that makes us feel stuck, anxious, and/or depressed. Navigating life might feel difficult due to the uncertainties but we do not have to continue to feel this way. I firmly believe everyone has the tools within them to survive, thrive, process, and grow. Together, we will discover these tools, find tangible ways to achieve your goals, and gain clarity about the unknown while exploring your strengths and building resiliency toward healing and empowerment.

If at this moment you find yourself seeking guidance but are unsure of where to turn, first know that these are perfectly natural uncertainties to have around finding the help you seek. In fact, these questions demonstrate your resilience and awareness - you've still got your wits about you! My therapeutic practice is dedicated to supporting individuals, couples, and families grappling with an array of challenges including depression, isolation, anxiety, trauma, relational conflicts, and existential unease.

As a therapist, I actually talk. Having authentic conversations with you is important to me. I validate and honor all your reactions to life and want to know about them. More technically, I practice eclectic asset-based (your strengths, safety and support) , attachment-informed (secure relationships), intersubjective (noticing how we relate), and Jungian (making the unconscious, conscious) psychotherapy.

I offer an open, non-judgemental space where you can speak honestly about your thoughts and experiences while working towards your personal goals. As a queer, trauma-informed sex therapist, I enjoy working together to deconstruct the social scripts, pressures and ‘shoulds’ that often get in the way of our growth, healing and liberation. Some areas that I am especially passionate about working with are anxiety, self-esteem, life transitions, gender identity, sexuality, relationship dynamics, existential questioning, sexual trauma and chronic pain.

You see yourself as a high-achieving person, but there are parts of your life that feel unbalanced. Perhaps there are self-destructive behaviors that are getting out of control. Or your relationships may be causing you grief. There may also be an empty feeling or nagging fears under the surface. Even if you are accustomed to solving things yourself, this may be the time to reach out for help from a professional who specializes in working with high-functioning clients like yourself. I offer a rare combination of two decades of experience in the MIT/tech world with substantial training as a psychotherapist.

Anyone can give advice.  In my experience, people come to therapy looking for something they cannot get anywhere else. Usually they are struggling with anxiety, depression, or some other issue that they have not been able to solve on their own. How does therapy help? My philosophy is that we heal through relationship—not in isolation. So rather than providing a list of pre-scripted tools, I strive to develop genuine connections with my clients. But beyond simply looking for relief from troubling symptoms, my goal is to help you create the life you want to live.

“I’m having an existential crisis” & “I’m struggling with my goals” are oftentimes one of the first sentences that a person says to me when seeking therapy. My clients are vibrant, smart, creative individuals who want to increase their quality of life. People who come in for therapy are struggling with life transitions, grief & loss, career issues, artistic blocks, anxiety, disappointment, depression, anger, frustration, addiction issues, and interpersonal, or romantic challenges. They are looking to feel better, make strides in their personal lives and careers, understand themselves, and seek opportunities to change their lives.

Hi, welcome, I’m Sam. If you’re researching online and are on this website reading this, you’re likely truly ready for support. I invite you to reach out.

We do this in a collaborative fashion, where I meet each individual client/clients where they are at.
