Hello! My name is Bryan Mestman, and I am a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) based in California and serving clients statewide via telehealth. It is my passion to support and empower you to explore your past and investigate the present as a way to discover and embody your inherent self-worth and uniqueness as an individual.
My approach
My approach to therapy varies based on the needs of each client. I have extensive experience utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), grief and bereavement therapy, Psychodynamic therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and various spiritual approaches to mental health and well-being. My client-centered approach can create a strong therapeutic relationship as a means to help resolve stress, anxiety, relationship problems, and the various challenges of living as a sensitive human in a difficult and oftentimes insensitive world. I aim to be a supportive companion on your journey of discovery, self-acceptance, and healing.
My focus
I work with adults who are navigating life changes, processing trauma, or learning to manage challenges with anxiety, depression, grief, and pain. I have experience helping clients work through drug and alcohol recovery, childhood sexual abuse, hospice care, child loss, personality disorders, and issues specific to men. While you are a completely unique person with your own specific strengths, personality, and history, there are common challenges and difficulties that most humans will experience in their lifetime. Existential issues, loss, self-esteem issues, and trauma are part of the human experience. These challenges are much easier to navigate and endure with the help of a supportive and nonjudgmental companion and guide on your journey.
My communication style
My communication style is collaborative, empathic, and warm. I want you to feel comfortable talking with me about anything, and I pride myself on my ability to listen without judgment. In our work together, we draw on your strengths and innate wisdom as a way to better understand yourself and to become empowered enough to create a more joyful and fulfilling life.
