Meet Brian Kornobis, LCSW

My background includes clinical roles at an outpatient mental health clinic, college counseling center, and in various schools in the Bay Area. I specialize in working with men’s issues, fatherhood and becoming a new parent, relationship conflict, grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, existential concerns, and life transitions. I work experientially with my clients, meaning we move beyond talking about the issues to connecting with feelings as they are experienced in the moment. I’ve found this to be a highly effective way of moving through stuck feelings into greater emotional well-being. 

As a therapist I am committed to practicing from an anti-oppressive approach. I work to understand the ways in which aspects of identity affect lived experience, including factors such as gender, race, ethnicity, sexuality, class, age, ability, and spirituality/religion. As a white, cisgender, and able-bodied man, I engage in my own process of learning (and unlearning) how my identities shape my values, actions, and impact on others. I strive to provide others with the safety to show up as their authentic selves.
