Brian J Lundberg

I believe that it is necessary to interact with clients as feeling, thinking, and embodied beings; therapy must address each person holistically and relationally in all aspects: emotional, cognitive, and behavioral. Therapy can help us make sense of our selves, our world, our relationships, our personal stories and the paths we take – other words, how to live life as our best, fulfilling selves. A former high school and university teacher, I have a passion for working with adolescents & young adults. I also have a keen interest in working on men’s issues, helping men and those close to them to live more in-touch and connected lives. The unifying thread that binds my work is a concern for the self in relation to others. I seek to help clients gain insight and process experience working from an emotion-focused therapy (EFT) approach with elements integrated from narrative & existential therapy. I also enjoy providing psychoeducation and skills work to improve functioning and well-being. I am fortunate to have had diverse life-experiences and to have lived overseas for ten years. I previously completed a B.A. in Literature, and earned a Ph.D. in East-West Comparative Philosophy focusing on musical therapeutics and emotional transformation. I combine a cross-culturally competent mind with a non-judgmental and empathetic concern for the other.
