Dr. Brian J. Hall, Licensed Clinical Psychologist

I work with adults and couples who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected. Many of the people I see are dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship stress, or major life transitions. Others come in simply knowing something isn’t working the way they want it to—emotionally, relationally, or personally—and are ready for change.

My approach is warm, engaged, and grounded in evidence-based treatments that are proven to help. I aim to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and not judged. Therapy with me is active and collaborative: we work together to understand patterns, build practical skills, and move toward meaningful, lasting change.

In our first few sessions, you can expect a thorough understanding of your history, current challenges, and goals. Just as importantly, you can expect a genuine human connection. Feeling comfortable and heard is the foundation for the work we’ll do.

My background brings a unique perspective to therapy. In addition to my clinical work, I consult on mental health with diverse populations and have worked as a researcher, clinician, policy expert, and advisor on mental health to governments and UN agencies. I am a Fellow of the American Psychological Association and focus on practical, evidence-based approaches that truly make a difference. I have lived and worked in China for more than 13 years, so I understand the unique opportunities and challenges of living and working here.

I’m passionate about this work because there is nothing more meaningful than helping people move toward fuller, healthier lives—on their own terms.
