Brett McGillivray

Brett McGillivray

Therapist

Virtual • California


I have been in recovery for over three decades. From that, I began a journey of providing support and listening to others. I engaged with a variety of populations, focusing on adolescents in crisis, seniors finding purpose in life, and in general, learning compassion about our human condition.

I create the tone and environment needed for that session.

I have an easy open communication style, creating rapport and safety. I can be direct when needing support through challenging issues. And I am embracing when needed. My focus is on your session.

I work with a variety of clients, from teens to seniors. I can address problem-solving and creating tools to manage mood. Process issues in life, and also address finding purpose in the stage of development.

I grew up in Southern California, with my undergraduate degree from Cal State Fullerton and my Master's in Social Work from University of Southern California.
