Brendan Kearns, LCSW
Brendan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California with over 16 years of experience across clinical and supervisory roles in mental health. He offers both in-person and virtual therapy for individuals ages 14 to 65. His early career focused on child and adolescent care in both inpatient and outpatient settings, later expanding to work with adults and families in both private practice and public sectors.
Brendan helps adolescents and adults navigate anxiety, OCD, depression, stress, and behavioral challenges. His goal is to reduce the distress that mental health struggles can cause and help clients regain a sense of agency and well-being. His approach explores early childhood experiences, attachment dynamics, and the biological, psychological, social, and spiritual influences that shape emotions and behavior.
He has trained with Dr. Karl Tomm, founder of interpersonal pattern-based family therapy, which informs his work with families and systems. Outside the therapy room, Brendan is a surfer, rock climber, entrepreneur, screenwriter, published novelist, and recording artist—experiences that enrich his work, particularly with clients in the creative arts.
