Breanna (Bree) Schiff
(She/Her/Hers)
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT)
I know the bravery it takes to ask for help & you deserve the support you are seeking. Let's work together to find new ways of managing life's stressors.
In my personal and professional experience, I have come to believe in the healing of a safe space with unconditional listening (and a little bit of humor). I have walked clients through crisis, transitions, grief, relational strain, identity questions, major anxieties, trauma, depression, everyday stressors and growing pains. I have developed, taught and led programs and counseling services for youth and families within private and public sectors. My personal and educational background is in psychology integration work, which supports my approach in helping clients deconstruct beliefs and/or incorporating truths and traditions into practice. It is my goal to walk alongside you and equip you with awareness and skills to manage as you move forward... and maybe laugh together a little along the way. I am a southern California native who loves spending time with my friends and family. I enjoy the beach, a classic comedy TV show, and all things chocolate! I offer therapy sessions in-person (at our cute office space with free drinks) or online (via Zoom). I believe therapy is most effective with the right fit, so feel free to contact me to see if I can help in any way.
