Brett Green, Therapist
Brett Green, LMFT, brings over 34 years of experience in providing compassionate and effective mental health care across California. Specializing in helping individuals navigate life’s many transitions, he works with adults of all ages, including young adults, middle-aged individuals, and seniors. Brett’s expertise is broad and inclusive, offering a safe, nonjudgmental space for clients dealing with challenges such as depression, anxiety, PTSD/trauma, and substance abuse. Whether addressing individual issues or supporting couples and families through conflict, Brett provides tailored therapy designed to foster growth and emotional well-being. His practice is rooted in helping Californians adapt to the demands of an ever-changing world. Brett is particularly passionate about supporting individuals through later-life and midlife transitions, men’s issues, and high-conflict co-parenting situations.
His focus on emotional and cognitive self-regulation helps clients build resilience and develop healthier ways to manage stress and conflict. By using approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Structural Family Therapy, Brett guides individuals and families through difficult times, helping them foster stronger relationships and improve emotional self-awareness. His work with high-conflict co-parenting situations and sex offender treatment highlights his commitment to addressing complex challenges with professionalism and empathy. In addition to his work with couples and families, Brett also specializes in treating substance abuse, trauma, and ADHD. His extensive experience with addiction recovery and his dedication to helping clients overcome their struggles with alcohol and drug use provide a strong foundation for those seeking long-term recovery.
He also understands the deep impact of trauma and PTSD, offering therapeutic techniques to support healing and emotional recovery for clients, including military veterans and first responders. Outside of his professional practice, Brett enjoys activities that enrich his life and support his well-being. He values spending time outdoors and is an advocate for integrating balance and mindfulness into daily life. His personal interests reflect his commitment to overall wellness, which he encourages his clients to explore as part of their own therapeutic journey.
