Meet The Team

Brian Shiers, LMFT, Supervisor, Clinical Director

  • My psychology philosophy is simple: Everyone has within them a fundamental aspect of themselves that instinctively seeks safety, clarity, autonomy, connection with others, purpose, and meaning.  For many of us, this part of the mind is obscured, distorted, or in some cases has never even been recognized.  But it is there in you - it is the very nature of your mind’s essence.  Through the connection we build together, we’ll explore your history, your worldview, and your ideas about your struggles, and how they relate to your emotions, feelings, and behavior, so your self-awareness grows and your understanding of what prevents your happiness becomes clear.  When we understand what’s in the way, the path towards living a more meaningful and joyous life appears.

    My approach is rooted in a simple belief: that beneath the noise, the pressure to perform, and the patterns we’ve internalized lies a deeper intelligence—expressive, curious, and wired for meaning. It doesn’t need to be taught; just remembered.

    That’s the heart of our work together. Through expressive arts, guided reflection, and somatic play, we create space to access that inner knowing. Rather than relying solely on analysis, this approach supports self-awareness through experience—what we make, move, sense, and feel. This isn’t about performance or producing a beautiful end product. It’s about permission.

    My work is not therapy but can be deeply therapeutic. It’s a complementary space where insight arises through making, moving, and feeling. Where you’ll begin moving toward alignment—with your values, your vitality, and your next meaningful step. And as clarity returns, so does confidence.
