Bryan Guan

Bryan Guan

Therapist

Virtual • Washington


Hi, I’m Bryan, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I work with individuals who find themselves at a point where life feels overwhelming or “too much.” Whether you’re navigating a major transition, processing grief or loss, adjusting to change, or simply feeling weighed down by stress, you don’t have to face it alone. My priority is to help you feel heard, understood, and supported during this season of your life.

I view therapy as a true partnership. You are the expert on your life, and I’m here as a steady co-pilot—helping you make sense of what you’re experiencing and supporting you as you move forward at your own pace. Using a holistic, person-centered approach, we’ll explore the emotional, relational, and practical factors impacting your well-being and develop tools to help you regain balance and clarity.

Together, we’ll work toward strengthening resilience, building insight, and reconnecting with what matters most to you. If you’re ready to take the next step toward feeling more grounded and supported, I invite you to reach out and give me a call so we can begin this work together.

Stephanie Geiger

Therapist

Virtual • Washington


I work with individuals, couples, and families of all ages. I have a Masters in Clinical Health Psychology and a Masters in Nutrition/Dietetics, which helps lend to a holistic approach to my work with clients. I commonly work with health behavioral change, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, ADHD, OCD, and relationship change. My treatment approach utilizes a biopsychosocial lense in long-term therapy based in psychodynamic, strengths-based, and integrative work in overall health. I utilize coping skills from CBT, DBT, ACT, and Mindfulness. I incorporated life-skills such a assertiveness, boundaries, and career.

I love the work that I do and the healing relationships I have been able to foster with my clients. I believe that therapy is a form of self-care and I want to be an advocate of that for my clients. I welcome anyone who thinks they may want some support, whether long-term or short-term to reach out to me and set up a brief phone consultation.
