I'm Bryan, Therapist and Founder of Dash Health Counseling & Consulting, PLLC, a mental health therapist practice that offers culturally sensitive psychotherapy services virtually. The services are available to individuals, couples and groups. We offer general mental health treatment options for depression, anxiety, life transition, LGBTQ issues, racial issues, couples and more. Lastly sex addiction treatment as well.

Stories have always fascinated me. They have the power to move us emotionally, to educate and instruct, to entertain us, and to cultivate true compassion and empathy through the act of sharing a story with another. They are also a powerful vehicle for how we perceive, interpret, define and live our lives, yet sometimes it can be easy to forget that we can be the authors of our story, not just a character proceeding along some previously determined narrative.

Anxiety, depression, anger management issues, substance abuse, or personal life changes are all very real problems. If you are experiencing any of these, therapy can be very beneficial. I utilize solution focused client specific techniques, coinciding with the development of a solid therapeutic relationship with my clients. It is my belief that these are the key ingredients to getting the most out of therapy and feeling better in your life.

Do you find your desire to escape from the struggles of life interfering with your enjoyment of said life? Are you struggling to feel connected with others and/or yourself?

If so, please keep reading to see how I may be able to help you help yourself.

Accepting new clients! I enjoy working with adults, adolescents, and children.

I look forward to walking beside you through your unique individual journey and helping you overcome life’s challenges.

I am delighted you found me here on Psychology Today. My ideal client comes from many different walks of life - children, adolescents, adults, couples and families. My ideal client is looking for change and a therapist that is going to "shoot straight" with them and do more than just nod their head in agreement. My ideal client is looking for direction and change in their lives and wants a partner in change. I work with my ideal client on anxiety, major depression, trauma, couples counseling, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), oppositional-defiant disorder (ODD), and substance abuse, and LGBTQIA+ issues.

I enjoy working with pre-teens, adolescents, adults, and couples who face diverse challenges. I seek to provide a collaborative and caring environment for processing difficult life events. I encourage individuals to develop healthy ways of caring for themselves as they develop acceptance and greater ownership of their life story.

Do you want to feel better? Do you want to feel more in control of your life? I see clients through teleterapy and in-person. I will help you find the solutions you need to feel in charge of your life. I have worked with people of all ages and backgrounds for the past twenty three years. I am confident that I can help you if you are willing to take the steps necessary to change your life. The first step is to have the courage to reach out for help when you need it. I will provide the professional care that you need in a safe, caring, and comforting environment.

Even when life is seemingly going well, our thoughts and feelings can make our days and nights a struggle. Living with mental illness or going through a challenging time can be like there is an ever-looming cloud blocking us from feeling the sun. It is my belief that therapy can help us see and feel the light again. Depression, anxiety, ADHD, behavioral or personality issues, and abuse & trauma can make us feel like we’re alone and without hope. Therapy can be a place where you don’t have to go through life’s struggles alone and get to learn coping strategies and solutions.

If you're navigating the complexities of emotions, life changes, or seeking a deeper understanding of yourself, I offer an interactive, empathetic, and creative approach to therapy. In our sessions, I will work with you to identify your values and hopes, helping to sculpt a life that is both meaningful and fulfilling to you. My approach is dynamic and client-centered, focusing on empowering you to make changes that align with your personal values and whatever you want out of life. I will guide you towards new ways of coping and building resilience to not only address immediate concerns but also set you up for long-term well-being.

I have over 20 years of clinical experience helping individuals with a variety of life challenges. Some of the issues that I specialize in are: anxiety, depression, addiction, substance abuse, life transitions, and grief and loss. I strive to work from a place of non-judgement, creating support and emotional safety within the therapeutic relationship. I believe that emotional wellness and change in therapy are only possible when people feel encouraged and safe. One of my primary goals is to help my patients find a deeper connection to their authentic selves.

I view concerns that bring people to therapy as part of the larger system that is being a human - my core therapeutic modality is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, because our thoughts truly influence how we feel and what we do. I am more direct in what I bring to the session and specialize in Obsessive Compulsive Disorders, Anxiety, and Depression and use Exposure and Response Prevention for OCD, Exposure Therapy for Anxiety, and Behavioral Activation for Depression. I incorporate a Person-Centered Approach into every session.

I provide quality mental health counseling and therapy that is thoughtfully tailored to your needs. Our work together will address concerns in an empowering and centering way that produces substantive change. My approach is connective (Therapy works best when we are able to connect and work well together) and directive (by directive I mean that I give things for you to do during the week like writing, journaling, reading, exercises, reflections, and/or activities). I'm known for being helpful with people who have been through therapy and haven't had success. I help people find aliveness, creativity, and strength.

For over 20 years, I have treated a wide variety of clients, experiencing a vast array of challenges. I have worked with adolescents to improve coping and communication, and with adults to navigate professional issues, family and relationship issues, as well as to resolve issues of sexuality, including sexual addiction. I have also worked with senior clients to address unresolved issues leading to depression and anxiety. I have also provided treatment in a wide variety of settings, from schools and communities, to hospitals and correctional facilities.
