Brent Pilegard, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Brent!

I believe in therapy that is focused, compassionate, direct, and effective.

My focus

Ideal clients are open to self-growth and open to deep self-empowerment

My approach

Sessions are client-centered and co-collaborative. Therapy is centered on helping you to deepen your connection with yourself, and in doing so, lessen and resolve your mental and emotional issues.

My communication style

Relaxed, warm, compassionate, direct, and focused.

My journey to mental healthcare

Initially credentialed as a teacher, I saw the emotional and mental conflicts that were present in my students and felt a deeper calling to help them heal and be happier.

My goals for you

I meet clients at their level of openness. This openness, when combined with increased self-insight and acceptance, leads to positive change.

Our first session

You tell me your issues, I listen, we look at them together, and help to create positive shifts to lessen the problems.
