About Bradley
Bradley Heidenberg is an LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 13 years of experience practicing in California. He helps people who are dealing with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and compassion fatigue.

He also draws on Existential Therapy to discuss meaning, purpose, and values when people face isolation, life purpose questions, or parenting shifts.
Sessions are focused and goal-oriented. Bradley aims to balance problem-solving with conversations about what matters to each person. He sees therapy as a collaborative process where clients guide the goals and he offers tools and feedback.

That approach helps when people feel lonely, question life purpose, or face major changes like parenting shifts or career crossroads.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Bradley will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and day-to-day life. He frames therapy as an active process where the client’s priorities guide the plan.
The profile does not specify which session formats are used, so confirm current session options before booking.

Different formats also let someone choose quieter surroundings, reduce bandwidth needs, or avoid being on camera when that helps them focus on the work.
