Hello. My name is Brian Kaufman. I am a licensed clinical social worker. I am licensed in California with 18 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, anger management, career difficulties, & bipolar disorder. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
My approach
I have no defined approach. Every client is different and so my approach will be different. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan 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 wit severe mental illness for over 16 years. I have also worked for many years with employment or job or career related issues. I work mostly with men working with them 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.
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.
