Brian Shiers, LMFT

I'm a mindfulness-based psychotherapist specializing in treating teens and adults struggling with anxiety disorders, trauma, anger management, and pervasive emotion dysregulation, as well as failure-to-launch, complex grief, and couples who are suffering from infertility and the complex opportunities and challenges of international adoption.

Engaging in therapy is one of the greatest gifts we can give to ourselves and those we care about. By exploring the layers of the self with the guidance and partnership of a therapist, our vulnerabilities and potential can be a source of deep healing and meaning. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Narrative Therapy, informed by attachment psychology within a mindfulness framework. I help you understand your present moment experience in terms of your self-story, your emotions, and behavior, and I help you develop the deep awareness and practical coping skills that allow you to choose more effective ways of being in the world, and that add to a greater sense of meaning and purpose. Sessions are 50 mins. and are offered both in-person and online via Zoom.
