I am Brian S. Sedgeley, Psy.D. licensed clinical psychologist.
I provide psychotherapy that is designed to help teens, adults, and couples live deeper, richer, more-fulfilling lives. I have over six years of experience, during which I have treated a wide range of issues and helped a diversity of people.
How I can help you:
If you want to improve your life and decrease your suffering I can help. After working with me, my patients often tell me that they feel greatly relieved; that they have less difficulties and are more able to deal with life's complications.
This is because I work with them to create greater self-awareness, job performance, and satisfaction with life.
I am highly trained in psychodynamic or psychoanalytic psychotherapy, and it is my primary approach to therapy. This is an effective method that helps individuals, teens, and couples make profound and lasting changes to their lives. Even after the therapy has ended.

Anxiety, stress, panic
Depression, Low Self-Worth
Psychosis, thought disorders
