The Love Therapist – Brendan Neff-Hall

If you want fantastic psychotherapy, Brendan’s your man. He’s a highly trained therapist, and you can really tell when you sit with him. He’s warm, friendly, real, direct — not just sitting there validating like some individual therapists. He’ll give you feedback, teach you skills and you’ll feel a real difference with your mental health. I know he also specializes in couples therapy, and I could see him being really gifted at that. He’d be super engaged with a couple in therapy and has a lot of relationship wisdom to share.

Having never done therapy, not to mention couples therapy, I was initially quite nervous. But just 10 minutes into our first session my partner and I where discussing a topic we had spun in circles on since our relationship began. And with Brendan’s thoughtful questions and expert guidance we found new ways to explore the topic, and new ways to feel closer for opening up.
Warm, welcoming, and attentive, I would highly recommend Brendan as a couples therapist. Simply fantastic.
Additionally the office he uses is well lit, pleasant to be in and comfortable. White noise machines all over the place create assurance that discussions will be private (and you wont have to listen to other peoples sessions).

Brendan is a warm, welcoming and intuitive practitioner. My partner and I had our first couple’s session with Brendan (my partner’s first therapy session ever), and have been glowing since. The ease and joy of the practice already has my partner thinking about incorporating therapy into his own self-​care regimen, and it let us feeling a deeper amount of compassion and security in our bond after having a skillfully led conversation about what’s underneath our communication misunderstandings. Brendan encouraged us set to clear goals for the session, delicately and effectively led us to clear, compassionate communication, and structured the conversation in way that felt balanced and spacious and productive. 5 stars!

I have had the pleasure of knowing Brendan professionally for years, and am consistently impressed with the work that I have seen. From our time together working on cases, I’ve seen that Brendan can get to the heart of what is going on in a couple and address it with warmth, empathy,
and skill.
Brendan’s presence makes you feel safe and cared for, creating an experience that helps you to grow in all of the ways that you need. An effective couples therapist is not afraid of conflict, and Brendan helps you navigate through challenging places that we all face in relationships but are sometimes too scared to explore.
I strongly reccommend Brendan to anyone looking for both a highly trained and experienced couples therapist.

I have known Brendan for 4 years and have in that time referred several couples to him. Brendan meets his clients with a lot of care and attention to where they are and how he might support them most effectively. Each of the couples I have referred have come back to me with great things to say about their experience with Brendan. He is also someone who is consistently honing his skills, a continual learner, and dedicated to his work.

I have had the incredible opportunity to witness Brendan’s offering diversify and deepen over the last 4 years through our commitment to meeting monthly as part of WE: Wellness Collective. Whether it is as a caring colleague and friend, teaching our group about how to utilize EFT for self care and with our clients, or as a developing therapist clarifying his vision and offering to support people finding love of themselves and with others; Brendan offers immeasurable wisdom, humor, a deep desire to be of service with a free and open heart.
As a therapist, I refer to him in a heartbeat with the trust that whatever is needed in the moment for each person, Brendan will meet them with curiosity, warmth and a commitment to sourcing each persons highest good and empowering them to live their best life. He is like Ganesh, the remover of obstacles, to what is blocking you from what you most deserve. LOVE!

Brendan’s warmth, enthusiasm, and deep dedication to his work make him a therapist of great value. LGBTQIAA friendly and informed, he’s particularly talented in working with gay men searching for love. Thanks to his ongoing training in AEDP and Emotionally-​Focused Therapy, couples will find Brendan well-​informed and empathic when it comes to difficult relational issues. I recommend Brendan especially to those who want an engaged and active therapist, not one who focuses solely on mirroring and empathizing.

Brendan is a true professional in every sense of the word. He is passionate about his work as a therapist and has a thriving practice working with diverse couples and individuals. His knowledge of the field is ever expanding and he is generous with his time and expertise. From what I have seen of his work, he meets clients where they are at and then provides a safe space for growth and healing.

So great! A true healer. Will be money well spent.

I’ve been working with Brendan weekly for around 7 months, and it’s been the best therapy experience I’ve ever had. We do a combination of talk therapy, somatic therapy, and EFT, which is a tapping technique that clears emotional blockages and patterns. All of these tools that Brendan has at his disposal just add up to some really powerful sessions.
Working with him is often leaves me in a really good place — in therapy, you’re asked to go deeply into painful places, but because Brendan has the tools to both ease me into the painful places, AND ease me out of them, I find that I’m not left with gaping open wounds after a session. Actually, I find that I feel a great sense of relief after our sessions. Like any therapy, there is work involved on my end to be open and trust the process, but his expertise in guiding me through painful stuff (and not merely just listening to me vent for an hour), make a huge difference in the effectiveness and power of the sessions.
When I first started working with Brendan, I wanted to just work on stress and childhood issues, but after a few months, I was diagnosed with AML (a form of Leukemia). Without Brendan’s help, I don’t know how I would have gotten through the fear, pain, and shock of that experience. I’m still undergoing treatment, and Brendan has been a huge support, counselor, and guide through the tough emotional landscape of being a cancer patient. He supports me by helping me to process and experience whatever comes up, whether it be issues with fearing the treatments, relationship issues, or old buried stuff.
In terms of Brendan’s personality as a therapist, he’s definitely an old soul. He has a lovely combination of wisdom, compassion, intelligence, and just being a cool person to interact with. He’s incredibly grounded and professional, along with being highly intuitive and compassionate. I would recommend working with him to anyone.

I was instantly struck by Brendan’s enthusiasm for his therapeutic work with singles and couples who are grappling with issues of relating. This man is the kind of therapist and life coach who you just know is good at what he does. He exudes warmth and an easy ‘connect-​ability’ at first meeting. I see him as just a fully genuine kind of person. I have no doubt this is what makes him so successful. Add that he’s incredibly committed to staying on top of all of the cutting-​edge therapy work out there so that he can offer it up to his clients.

My experience working with Brendan has been exceptional. Brendan is one of the most passionate, compassionate and empathetic beings I know. He truly embodies a real gift of healing and connection to people. He is one of the few people I have personally collaborated with because of his level of integrity. He is knowledgeable beyond belief, highly respected in his industry and has a heart of goal. He is also trustworthy, I always feel confident working with Brendan om many ways. He is a phenomenal healer and connector and he’s making a difference and living his passion. Thank you Brendan for all that you bring to the table, including a ton of fun.

I’ve known Brendan for several years. I admire the enthusiasm and attention to detail that he brings to his work as a therapist, coach and counselor. I recently produced a promotional video for Brendan. As expected, he was prepared and ready to work with me not as a director, but a collaborator. I believe it’s Brendan’s collaborative nature that makes him effective in everything he does. I know his goals with this clients is to work with them to clarify and achieve realistic goals regarding their relationship with themselves and others. He believes everyone deserves to find their authentic selves and discover love for and from others on the way.

Brendan is a knowledgable, caring and genuine. His willingness and passion to help others is evident and felt in the first meeting with him. Brendan has all the right tools to help people grow individually, as well as in their relationships. I highly recommend Brendan.

I LOVE Brendan and would highly recommend him. We met at an EFT workshop several years ago. He has tremendous integrity, he’s gifted, wise and someone I trust completely, I feel safe talking about anything with him. If you are struggling with relationship issues, go and get the support you need from this amazing man!

I have so much respect and admiration for Brendan and the work he is doing with individuals and couples assisting them in discovering more love in their relationships and lives.
Having had the opportunity to work with Brendan on a couple of occasions and the privilege of interviewing him on my TV show, it is very clear that he is extremely committed to supporting and inspiring his clients in very profound ways. He is a truly open-​hearted and loving presence and he is clearly living his calling in life.
I would recommend working with Brendan to anyone who wants to experience a deeper sense of love and connection, AND see positive changes manifest in their lives.

I’m inspired by Brendan’s passion for healing relationships for singles and couples. He is warm, knowledgeable, and gives amazing feedback! Although I haven’t seen him for couples counseling, I saw him for one session of MTT and imagine that he’s just as gifted with couples as he was with me.
I tried MTT because I’m open to any type of healing. I heard it was a life-​changing technique and I wanted to try it. I was feeling disconnected from myself and was also having trouble releasing emotions about some difficult events that had happened in my life. I was feeling numb and stressed out; like I couldn’t breathe very well and wanted to change that.
During the session, there was a release of energy and emotion… after the session, I felt like I could breathe deeply, which was the first time I could do that in a month! I felt freer, happier, and more connected to myself.

Brendan is a great relationship counselor, which is more than just a «couples counselor.» He also works with singles who are dealing with relationship issues (i.e. all of their relationship end up manifesting the same lame patterns no matter what, etc.) and all kinds of relationship themes — relating to family, co-​workers, etc. I love that he has a lot of experience working in and with the queer community and that he also has experience with and values mindbody techniques such as EFT! If you’re looking for a holistic relationship-​focused counseling experience, call Brendan!

Brendan is an excellent counselor/​coach/​therapist and ally. I would recommend him to anyone seeking more clarity around challenges and difficulties being experienced in day-​to-​day life, whether in a relationship or single. He is well versed in Emotionally Focused Therapy and brings compassion, empathy, motivation, and love into his work with every client.
Brendan is passionate about his work with clients, especially those in the queer community. I feel comfort, openness, and trust in my relationship to Brendan, which are so important and so hard to come by.
He has worked with trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use/​misuse, issues facing the queer community and other marginalized groups through his social justice work, and sex positivity. He really is the whole package and yes, as good as it gets.

As good as it gets, is right. Whether you are seeking individual or couples support, or perhaps looking for someone to collaborate with for a workshop– Brendan is your guy. He has a successful practice of EFT as well as experience with folks who have suffered varying kinds of trauma. He’s flexible, detail orientated, incredibly knowledgeable, creative, warm, humble, compassionate, supportive, and dedicated to supporting community. If you are struggling to feel connection, or perhaps you are finding some difficulty with relationships, Brendan can help you bring some balance and wellness to your life. I’ve been working with Brendan in a few capacities over the last couple of years and I have learned so much about myself and relationships in my life and felt incredibly supported by him. Thank you, Brendan!
