Brian Shiers

Brian Shiers is a compassionate Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT, CMF, CMT-P), specializing in mindfulness-based therapy for teens aged 14 and up and adults who are grappling with anxiety disorders, trauma, and emotional dysregulation. His practice addresses issues such as anger management, complex grief, and the emotional challenges faced by couples dealing with infertility and the intricacies of international adoption. Brian believes that engaging in therapy is one of the most profound gifts individuals can offer themselves and their loved ones. Through collaborative exploration with a therapist, clients can uncover their vulnerabilities and potentials, leading to deep healing and meaningful growth. With a strong foundation in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Narrative Therapy, informed by attachment psychology, Brian assists individuals in understanding their present experiences through the lens of their self-stories, emotions, and behaviors. He fosters the development of awareness and practical coping skills that pave the way to enduring happiness. Additionally, he provides in-person Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy in partnership with Journey Clinical, aimed at supporting clients in overcoming treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, and PTSD. This innovative approach utilizes Ketamine, a common anesthetic, to create a mildly euphoric state that allows clients to navigate their challenges with reduced suffering and gain new perspectives on their lives.
