Andrew Briefer, a Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT), is dedicated to helping adults, adolescents, couples, and families navigate the complexities of creating a satisfying and meaningful life. He understands that individuals can often feel stuck, relying on emotional regulation and relational skills that may no longer be effective due to personal growth, changing circumstances, or different relational cultures. This sense of stagnation can lead to challenges such as depression, anxiety, addictions, compulsive behaviors, and relational difficulties. Andrew acknowledges that relationships play a significant role in how individuals manage mood, emotion, and behavior, and they even influence the physical development of our brains. Utilizing an array of proven therapeutic approaches, including mindfulness-based therapies, attachment-based methods, Gottman therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Andrew fosters a supportive therapeutic environment. He explores patterns of distress with clients, helping them understand how past experiences resonate in their current lives while guiding them to master new skills to achieve their personal goals regarding mood, behavior, and relationships. Through collaboration with Andrew, clients can expect to build a resilient, happy, and connected life.
