During graduate school, Bryan worked predominately with underserved youth and families. He completed his diagnostic assessment training with Riveredge Hospital in Illinois, where he served as the only bilingual Spanish speaking practicum extern for his cohort class. Subsequently, Bryan completed his therapy practicum experience with Illinois Masonic Pediatric Developmental Center, where he expanded his behavioral therapeutic approach with children and adolescents presenting with neurodevelopmental disorders, mood-related disorders, and medical diagnoses. Lastly, he completed his advanced practicum training dedicating his clinical expertise to both therapy and diagnostic assessment for a community mental health center that provides mental health services to underserved children within selected catholic schools in the archdiocese of Chicago.

He specializes in anxiety, depression, adjustment and behavior disorders, autism spectrum disorder, eating disorders, body image concerns, LGBTQIA+, and the inclusion of both Cultural Competency and Cultural Humility in exploration of one’s identity. He encourages his clients to bring their authenticity into the therapeutic space in order to allow for the process of therapy to develop both organically and comfortably.

Bryan works to recognize the concerns of caregivers and the respective client, viewing the process of therapy as a collaboration, taking time to learn about your concerns around challenges, disruptive behaviors, symptoms and mood behaviors, the dynamics of the family environment, and how culture impacts an individual in their world.
The exploration of childhood and family history is crucial to Bryan’s understanding of a client’s presenting problem and conceptualization within the treatment. Bryan ascribes to the ADDRESSING Model, by Pamela Hays who believes in the importance of integrating cultural dynamics to therapy, as it provides the therapeutic relationship to flow with authenticity and care for the client’s lived experience.
Working with clients and families from a person-centered therapeutic style, Bryan focuses on assisting others to develop their insight skills to be able to be their own active agent for change within the therapeutic setting.
