About Dr. Nathan Brandon, Psy.D.

You Can Overcome The Challenges You Face.

I’m a licensed psychologist with a deep commitment to helping people navigate anxiety, substance use, identity exploration, and life’s many emotional challenges. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices tailored to each individual’s unique needs.

I received my doctorate in clinical psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS), an institution known for its holistic and integrative approach to mental health. My education there emphasized the connection between mind, body, and spirit, blending depth psychology with contemporary, evidence-based practices.

As part of my training, I completed my pre-doctoral internship at the C.G. Jung Institute of San Francisco, where I deepened my work with Jungian theory, dream analysis, and psychodynamic approaches to healing. This foundation continues to inform my work with clients, offering a depth-oriented lens that honors both the conscious and unconscious aspects of psychological growth.

Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with diverse populations across a range of settings—including intensive outpatient programs (IOP) for substance use and eating disorders. In my private practice, I have extensive experience working with adults and young adults facing anxiety, ADHD, depression, bipolar disorder, and complex relationship issues. These experiences have deepened my understanding of how complex and interconnected emotional struggles can be—and how healing becomes possible through nonjudgmental, consistent support.

Beyond the therapy room, I’ve been featured in media projects aimed at expanding public understanding of mental health. I’ve appeared in a documentary focused on anxiety as well as a docuseries exploring dreams. My insights have also been shared through various major media outlets, where I’ve contributed to articles on emotional wellbeing, personal growth, and the healing process.

I believe that meaningful change is possible with the right support—and that therapy can be a powerful tool in helping you reconnect with yourself, build resilience, and live a more authentic, fulfilling life.
