Brynn Vawter, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Brynn!

I offer compassionate mental health services to children, adolescents, and adults. I've worked in school systems and community mental health, serving individuals with moderate to severe mental health symptoms.

My focus

I work with adults and specialize in depression, anxiety, stress, and personality disorders.

My approach

I use Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to help you challenge thought processes, emotional reactions, and perspectives causing distress. I'm passionate about empowering you to create the life you desire by identifying and drawing on your strengths and potential.

My communication style

My style is calm, compassionate, and sometimes direct. I want you to feel heard and validated, but also challenged when needed to create the life you desire. I provide a safe, judgment-free environment.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've always had a passion for guiding others to succeed and reach their goals. Listening without judgment is a quality I strive to display in all relationships. My favorite saying is "Listen with the intent to understand, not with the intent to respond."

My goals for you

I encourage my clients to determine their goals for treatment and assist them in setting attainable goals. Throughout the therapeutic relationship, I frequently revisit goals and measure progress with the patient.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll spend time building rapport and trust while gathering important information to create an effective treatment plan that helps you reach your goals.
