Brent Beam, PhD
With a calm demeanor and 20 years of clinical experience, I guide men to listen less defensively, communicate more productively and manage their emotions more skillfully.
My speciality as a psychologist is men’s mental health. Based on years of supporting men in therapy, I understand the strong sense of ambition and responsibility that men carry. I also know that it’s hard to downshift and be present when parenting, professional ambitions or relationship challenges are consuming your time and attention.
My passion is helping men from all walks of life navigate through emotional hardships. My approach works especially well for high-achieving men who are trying to stay centered in both the professional and personal aspects of their lives.
I regularly work with top performers 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 core values.
Our work together can help you become more accessible, resilient and clear-minded in the relationships that matter most.
