Brent Beam, PhD
With over 20 years of clinical experience, I help men listen less defensively, communicate more productively, and manage their emotions more skillfully.
I specialize in men’s mental health. Drawing from years of supporting men in therapy and executive coaching, I understand the strong sense of ambition and responsibility that men carry. At the same time, I know that it’s hard to downshift and be present when the demands of work, relationships, and parenting are consuming your time and attention.
My passion is helping highly analytical, ambitious men stay centered in both the professional and personal aspects of their lives.
For example, I regularly work with top performers in finance, tech, healthcare, law, and a variety of other fields. My clients excel in many areas but seek support and challenge when they feel stuck. Many need help decelerating from a frenetic pace of life, communicating more effectively in relationships, and reorienting to their core values.
Through our work together, you can become more present, resilient, and clear-minded in the spaces that matter most.
