I work with men who struggle in relationships. You might have lost your self-confidence, or are feeling down, having encountered obstacles that seem too much to deal with. I’ll help you to draw on and develop your own strengths so that you can get moving again.

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.

My clinical lens is founded on the belief that clients are the true experts of their own lives, and the therapeutic relationship is a means towards exploration, empowerment, and actualization. My goal is to focus on you as a whole person. I am passionate about advocating for each client’s needs and supporting their wants, needs, and goals with compassion, empathy, and understanding. I integrate aspects of Brainspotting, ACT, CBT, narrative, psychodynamic, existential and mindfulness to individualize each client’s care.

The stress of day-to-day life can become overwhelming and lead us to feel anxious, depressed and disconnected from ourselves and our closest relationships. It can be exhausting trying to manage work, family, friendships; only to find that we’ve neglected ourselves and our own needs.
Let’s work together. You’ll be in a safe, non-judgmental space, getting the support you need and deserve. We’ll explore new ideas and identify actionable approaches to help you better manage stress, improve your mood, self-esteem, enhance your communication skills, and build self-confidence.

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!

Depression. Anxiety. Low self-esteem. Relational issues. These are common issues that people face when it comes to mental health challenges, which are enough to make life difficult. Chances are your relationships and most importantly your relationship with yourself have been greatly impacted by these factors. There’s this sense that something has to change, but you might not know where to begin. Together we embark on this journey of uncovering just how you got here and discovering where you want to go.

The decision to seek therapy is not easy. It means we have to confront the truth that we are struggling in some facet of our life and need help finding resolution. I specialize in brain-body based therapies, such as EMDR and Brainspotting, which tap into the source of our emotional wounds located in the body. These healing modalities are highly effective in helping identify and resolve the roots of one’s distress, presenting as anxiety, depression, stress or trauma(s) that are negatively impacting your life and overall wellbeing.

Bryan Hartzell

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.

With clients, I focus on how and where you find meaning in your life in addition to exploring your past and its influence on your present. I have experience in treating anxiety, depression, adjustment to life changes, loss & trauma, and sexual abuse.
From my office in the heart of the Mid-City/Beverly Grove neighborhood of Los Angeles, I offer a kind and straight-forward therapeutic approach to a broad array of clients: from those merely seeking to enrich their day-to-day lives, to those seeking more robust intervention in mitigating harmful thought patterns and behaviors.

I provide integrative psychodynamic therapy to adult men of immigrant parents navigating life transitions, family of origin stress and relationship struggles. Many people I work with struggle with trust, loneliness and emotional intimacy or with anxiety, depression or unresolved trauma.
I believe therapy takes courage and humility to confront what is uncomfortable, allowing us to break free from patterns that keep us stuck and move toward greater freedom. As your therapist, I see myself as a guide, offering the right balance of support, perspective and challenge to foster meaningful change and growth.

Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, lack of self-worth, or self-doubt, I help people uncover the root causes of their issues and find a way out.
As a therapist, I actively participate in therapy conversations, providing feedback, teaching you skills, and helping you work through problems or unhealthy patterns. I balance being supportive with also challenging my clients in ways that help them grow.
