Bryan Bass-riley

Bryan Bass-Riley is a dedicated licensed professional counselor who has committed his life to helping others, viewing it as one of the greatest privileges one can attain. With a passion for supporting individuals facing difficulties, he finds deep purpose in being of service. Bryan describes his spirituality as intrinsically connected to his work, illustrated by a meaningful tattoo of Japanese characters for Kintsugi on his wrist. This tattoo symbolizes his belief that brokenness can lead to greater value; just as Kintsugi art strengthens broken pottery with golden solder, the journey of healing and repairing life’s broken places is a celebration that enhances one's worth. Advocacy for marginalized populations is a cornerstone of Bryan's practice, as he fervently champions mental, social, and spiritual health, grounding his work in the belief that Black Lives Matter and the urgent need to dismantle systemic racism. He is a passionate supporter of the full dignity and worth of LGBTQIA+ individuals and firmly rejects societal beliefs that restrict women's roles. Bryan's commitment to these values shapes his approach to therapy, creating a compassionate and inclusive space for all.
