Brian has had the privilege of working with a diverse client population, addressing a range of issues such as anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), personality disorders, anger management, autism spectrum disorders (ASD), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), problematic sexual behavior, career challenges, and substance use disorders.
