Dr. Brian Sutton (Dr. B)  
Licensed Mental Health Therapist

My name is Brian Sutton. I am a proud DC native, a Licensed Mental Health Therapist (LGPC), a National Certified Counselor (NCC), Certified EMDR Therapist (EMDRPT-I) and a Certified Neuropsychotherapist (NPT-C). I specialize in creating a safe space where people can be heard, seen, and validated. My mindset is to help clients listen to their inner voice (thoughts) concerning how they feel (emotions). I have a talent for working with people who struggle to find their voice, understand their path, identify their struggles, and seem lost in who they want to be. I utilize a holistic approach to therapy that deals with clients' mental, emotional, and spiritual parts. I specialize in Person-Centered Therapy, EMDR therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Integrated Therapy, Choice Theory, and Christian Spiritual Counseling. However, I will always adjust his approach to meet the needs of the client I am working with. My primary goal is to help my clients achieve their best version of themselves and become their ideal selves. I work with a variety of clients from all different backgrounds. I conduct individual, couples, family, and adolescent therapy. I work with clients on various issues to assist them in their healing journey.

​

I am a United States military veteran and served 12 years in the United States Army as a Psychological Operations Specialist. I have been studying psychology and mental health for over ten years as a passion and a means to assist people within my community. As a college professor, I have been teaching psychology and counseling courses since 2017. I have presented at multiple professional conferences about research topics on diversity and multicultural issues related to African-American people.

 

I completed my Ph.D. in Counseling, Education, and Supervision at Walden University, graduated from American Military University with a Master of Arts in Psychology, and graduated from the University of Maryland with a Bachelor of Science in Social Science.
