About

psychologist in Asheville, NC
Dr. Brent Beam is a psychologist and executive coach based in Asheville, North Carolina and serving clients nationwide.

Brent Beam, PhD

As a Psychologist and Executive Coach, I’m highly personable, direct, and committed to making our time meaningful and productive.

With an extensive background in men’s mental health and over 15 years of clinical experience, I understand the strong sense of ambition and responsibility that successful men carry. I know that it’s hard to downshift and be present when you are focused on professional pursuits.

My approach is geared specifically for high-functioning men, providing the momentum you need to stay centered in both the professional and personal aspects of your life.

I work with high-achievers in healthcare, law, tech, finance, education, and a variety of other fields. While my clients excel in many areas of their lives, they also benefit from a combination of support and challenge in others. Many need help decelerating from a frenetic pace of life, communicating more effectively in relationships, and reorienting to their purpose and core values. 

Our work together can help you become a more accessible, resilient, and effective man in the relationships that matter most. 

Credentials

Since 2005, I’ve worked as a Psychologist in university, healthcare, and private practice settings. Prior affiliations include Washington University in St. Louis and the University of Michigan Medical Center.

In 2015, I founded Asheville’s first psychology practice focused exclusively on men’s mental health. 

My local engagement includes serving on the AdventHealth Physician Wellness Committee, being a keynote speaker at Montreat Conference Center, providing media interviews for WLOS, and offering workshops through Integrative Family Medicine of Asheville.
