Brian Lissak, who is the Director of Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy at Behavioral Associates:

I specialize in anxiety, depression, ADD/ADHD, phobia exposure / desensitization, family and interpersonal relationships, OCD, as well as a wide array encompassing many other challenges. I also work with people on Peak Performance training. My work takes place both in a clinical office setting as well as out in the real world, working with you in the way that will most effectively achieve your goals.

I am informed by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems, Somatic Experiencing, Hakomi, Motivational Interviewing, among other modalities and frameworks. I am also trained in Psychedelic Assisted Psychotherapy and work with clients using Ketamine.

I meet you as a human, combining a warm and gentle approach while instilling discipline and firmness into your life as a tool for taking charge of your growth and healing. I am also adept at using various forms of biofeedback and neurofeedback as an adjunct to talk therapy, as well as a keen understanding of the nervous system to individuate my application of modalities to each client.

Prior to formally becoming a psychotherapist, I was an NCAA athlete and served in the military. Both of those experiences inform my work today.
