Bryan Vasquez, AMFT, CAT-C III
Bryan Vasquez is a Certified Addiction Treatment Counselor and Associate Marriage and Family Therapist who helps individuals break free from addictive and compulsive behaviors—without shame, labels, or one-size-fits-all solutions.
With over a decade of experience across psychiatric hospitals, residential treatment, and outpatient programs, Bryan brings more than 15,000 hours of clinical experience into his work. He uses evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Motivational Interviewing, and Community Reinforcement and Family Training (CRAFT).
Bryan specializes not only in addiction, but also in helping clients work through underlying challenges such as trauma, PTSD, OCD, anxiety, and depression—because lasting change often requires addressing what’s driving the behavior, not just the behavior itself.
His approach is collaborative, practical, and grounded in the belief that change doesn’t come from being told what you “have to do,” but from understanding yourself, clarifying your values, and building the skills to follow through. Whether a client’s goal is moderation, abstinence, or simply gaining control, Bryan meets them where they are and helps them create a plan that actually fits their life.
As a former Marine and someone who overcame his own problematic addiction, Bryan brings both clinical expertise and lived experience to his work—offering direct, honest support without judgment or unnecessary extremes.
Bryan’s path into this work is deeply personal. After losing close childhood friends to addiction and spending three years incarcerated, he learned firsthand how high the stakes can be. Those experiences became the turning point—driving a commitment to help others create real change before life forces it on them.
Bryan also works with loved ones and families, helping them move from feeling stuck or overwhelmed to having clear, research-backed strategies to support change while improving their own wellbeing.
If you’re ready for a different approach—one that’s grounded, individualized, and built to work in the real world—this is where things can start to change.
