I provide individual and group therapy for men in their 20s-50s who have done therapy before and are looking to go deeper.  As an individual therapist, I like to be actively involved and give feedback about what I’m noticing in the here-and-now.  This gives us a portal into understanding how you get tripped up and where you can lean into a fuller, deeper way of living. My men’s groups are long-term process groups that primarily focus on relationships between members.  Group is all about practicing direct, authentic contact and exploring your blocks to getting closer with others.

In my practice as a therapist I use the research on what works to help my clients get the outcomes they want: better relationships, managed anxiety, less depression and more control over life. I do not limit our work into any single modality but blend a variety of techniques to tailor my approach for each individual. I draw influence from cognitive behavioral, humanistic and dynamic psychotherapy. Therapy is a place to develop and apply philosophy to get to a different place than we are able to get on our own. I’m excited to join you!

My name is Dr. Noah Lau Branson and I am a biracial licensed clinical psychologist providing therapy and counseling services in Pasadena, California. I specialize in working with people and couples with mixed backgrounds (bi and multi-cultural/ethnic/racial) and other types of complex identity formation (religion/spirituality, LGBTQ+, SES). In addition, I have specialties in developmental and relational trauma, helping professionals (therapists, teachers, medical practitioners, pastors), and men’s issues.

I view therapy as being invited to explore ourselves in a welcoming way with someone with kindness who shares knowledge about how we function as humans, so we can gain an understanding for how we have functioned, what we need to thrive, and then thrive. This is self-worth and mastery. And with it comes our being more loving toward toward others and toward ourselves.

Being a man never came with a manual. No sense of direction led to feeling lost, confused, stressed, not understood, and even angry. You just want to feel heard by someone who gets it, while taking impactful steps to create the life you’ve wanted for so long.

I coach and mentor you to create the masculinity you seek. I make therapy a space to workshop new perspectives, and forge newfound resiliency. I lead a path to find strength in compassion, kindness, and composure.

I know how hard it is, as a man, to admit you need help. Even more so to ask for it. I won’t judge or criticize. You can thrive with a men’s issues therapist who wants nothing more than to help you be all that you can, and more.

You feel overwhelmed, stressed, unfulfilled. Maybe your relationship feels like it’s crashing and burning. You have lost motivation, direction, and a sense of purpose. You are not sure when it started, but you do not feel the same. You got here because you know something is off. But you do not want to stay this way. You want more out of friendships, coupledom, parenthood, work and life. You want to feel refreshed, energized, healthy and ready to tackle the days. You want to be back on track – like you again, but an expanded version. You want to be full of life. You want the fire back. You came to the right place. I help guys just like you get the fire back and get back to life!

Video game counseling is a novel approach that uses video games in counseling sessions to help closed-off clients express themselves. Video game counseling is a more immersive, artistic, and creative medium for clients to build skills and process their difficulties. I also help gamers stuck in their life to gain control over their video game habits and fulfill their other life ambitions.

Therapy with me is a co-created process – grounded in down-to earth discussion, respect, humor, gentle challenging, deep understanding, and the belief that meaningful change comes from a combination of a strong therapeutic relationship, insight, awareness, and learning the tools and coping skills to create meaningful change and action.

As a father, I have a personal interest in supporting new and expecting dads, supporting them to navigate the emotional complexities of parenthood, like struggling with a new identity as a father, the overwhelming responsibilities to your child, partner, and career, and the feelings of confusion, irritability, stress, and depression.
