Brendan Hall - San Francisco, California

Gina Jefts

My husband and I have had the honor and pleasure of working with Brendan for several years. He has a unique ability to create an environment that eases any nerves and anxiety right off the bat. His approach is refreshing, because he doesn't show up to play referee. He isn't the type of therapist to break down specific situations, point fingers or play the blame game. Instead, Brendan has been exemplary in identifying the underlying issues that lead to conflict, finding the roots of what makes us individuals, and helping us navigate towards a deeper connection as partners. He's a wonderful teacher who has shown us how to use our strengths healthily in our relationship, while also helping us understand each others' weaknesses to aid in our connection. He somehow has an indefinite amount of patience, compassion, and understanding, even when we push it; it's quite impressive. I can go on and on about how incredible Brendan is, but the bottom line is that we were so lucky to have found him. He's a fantastic therapist but an even more amazing human being, and we feel so lucky to have had the chance to work with him.

Brendan is a jewel of a human being and a therapist. His compassionate presence creates immense space for difficult moments to be held in grace and his insightful and precise guidance helped me understand myself and my relationship with much greater depth. I have found myself enjoying much more freedom and connection in my romantic relationship as a result of working with Brendan.

I worked with Brendan over the course of a year on a number of important life topics. He helped me reframe my relation to said topics, and in the process, I learned so much more about myself than I had ever expected when I first starting seeing Brendan. Brendan has an incredible gift of empathy and compassion, second to none. He is thoughtful, patient, flexible and incredibly easy to talk to. He completely redefined my view of therapy and for that I am eternally grateful!

Brendan has an innate understanding of safety, both internal and environmental. Brendan knows how to hold space for someone else to find and feel their safety. By using well chosen words, compassionate active listening, and deep heart felt empathy, Brendan has held a space for me to feel incredibly safe while I experience my own mental/emotional/physical process.

I also appreciate Brendan’s wonderful sense of humor. He has uplifted me in my high times and lovingly empathized with me in my low times.

Thank you Brendan for all that you do in the world. And for all that you are. gratitude ✨

Brendan is a phenomenal couples counselor who creates nurturing, accepting, inclusive spaces for people of all stripes to come together for support around their relationships. I found him to be open, curious, kind, and willing to grapple with my partner and me around tough issues that most people thankfully will not ever have to face. Brendan was brave and encouraging, and he helped us at a time that we really need guidance and support. We will always be grateful.

Brendan is an absolutely phenomenal resource. He is one of the most skilled professionals I have ever worked with, bringing a lifetime of experience not only in somatic therapy specializing in relationship difficulties, but also has training in coaching, Radical Aliveness, practices based in neuroscience, mindfulness and so much more. He never stops learning and growing, because he's truly passionate about what he does, and brings all of his magic, wisdom, and deep unwavering compassion and commitment to supporting couples having big breakthroughs and supporting people to be their highest selves. You can feel from the moment you meet him that you are going to be held and supported like you've never been before. I adore him and can't recommend him highly enough.
