Brandon Guzman

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and currently a doctoral student in Counseling Education and Supervision at Oregon State University. For the past three years, I have worked in crisis services—first as an intern and now as a licensed counselor—and I have spent the last decade in various behavioral health roles.

My primary therapeutic approach is Solution-Focused, and I integrate Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients build practical skills for real-life challenges. I specialize in supporting LGBTQ+ clients and the Latine community, with a particular focus on transgender individuals and first- and second-generation Latine clients. I also have experience helping clients navigate depression, anxiety, trauma, anger, and adjustment-related concerns.

Outside the therapy room, I believe in practicing what I preach when it comes to self-care—whether that’s exploring hiking trails, playing co-op video games, or working on art/photography projects! Fun fact: becoming a therapist wasn’t my childhood dream... I originally wanted to be a Pokémon trainer!

I specialize in Solution-Focused Therapy, emphasizing strengths and practical strategies for growth. I incorporate Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to support emotional regulation and coping skills among my clients, with a focus on the Latine and LGBTQ+ communities. I am Circle of Security Parenting trained, helping parents foster healthy attachments.

Therapy is a space to feel heard, supported, and empowered. I offer a nonjudgmental environment where you can explore challenges, develop insight, and build the tools needed to move forward. Whether you’re feeling stuck or navigating difficult transitions, I’m here to help. Together, we can work toward meaningful growth and lasting change.
