Brent Chumpitazi, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Brent!

I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in EMDR therapy. I integrate Internal Family Systems with EMDR to aid in resetting and recalibrating the nervous system through somatic healing.

My focus

I tend to work with people who have experienced trauma with EMDR therapy.

My approach

My primary mission is to assist individuals in recalibrating their nervous systems. I hold the belief that everyone is inherently born with confidence and compassion, qualities that can sometimes be obscured by life's challenges. I guide people toward living authentic, self-directed lives.

My communication style

I create a calm environment where people can express themselves in any way they like without any judgment. I love to speak in metaphors that help people paint a picture in their head of what I am talking about instead of providing them with clinical jargon.

My journey to mental healthcare

I wanted to become a therapist at age nine. That was when I met my sister's social worker, and I became obsessed with making helping people my career.

My goals for you

Person-centered goals. I like clients to feel empowered and that they have a "say" on what they want to work on or move towards.

Our first session

An explanation of how I work with EMDR and how events that we have experienced in life sometimes get stored in our body and cause negative symptoms.
