Dr. Bryan Batien

Hi, I'm Dr. Batien. I'm a licensed clinical psychologist based in Orlando, and I specialize in something most people don't realize therapy can actually fix: trauma, anxiety, depression, insomnia, and the kind of overwhelming stress that makes everyday life feel impossible. I've been doing this work for over a decade, treating both veterans and civilians, and I've seen real, lasting change happen — even in people who had convinced themselves nothing would work.

Here's something worth knowing: I'm one of only four psychologists in all of Central Florida who is board certified in Behavioral and Cognitive Therapy through the American Board of Professional Psychologists (ABPP). That distinction matters — it means I've met the highest standard of expertise in the approaches that research consistently shows actually work.

I use short-term, evidence-based therapies — which means we're not talking about being in therapy forever. We're working toward specific, measurable goals, and most people start to feel a real difference faster than they expect. Depending on what you're dealing with, I draw on Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Prolonged Exposure (PE) for trauma and PTSD, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) for sleep struggles, and Problem-Solving Therapy (PST) for when life feels like too much to manage at once. Every approach is tailored to you — your history, your goals, your pace.

I have particular experience with veterans and first responders, but anyone navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, or sleep problems will find a knowledgeable and genuinely caring partner in this work.

You don't have to keep white-knuckling it. If you're ready to actually feel better — not just cope — I'd love to work with you.
