Brady Gordon, M.S.W., LCSW

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California offering psychotherapy through my private practice, Brady Gordon Therapy. I see clients across California via telehealth and in-person at my office near McKinley Park in Sacramento. I draw on evidence-based approaches to help clients better understand themselves and reconnect with what gives them peace, purpose, and connection in their lives. Most importantly, I offer a space where each client’s unique perspective and experiences can be the focus – so you can figure out what you think, feel, and need. In my practice, I specialize in working with adults who: - Feel stressed, anxious, afraid, worried, panicked, irritated, depressed, or in pain - Want to work on/shift their patterns in important relationships - Are having difficulty creating new routines or habits to meet their goals - Feel stuck making difficult decisions or frozen in the absence of a “right” answer - Have a pattern of overfunctioning/taking on problems for others and sometimes feeling overburdened, disconnected, or resentful as a result - Have been told that stress may play a role in a medical condition – or feel stressed by what’s required to manage that condition - Work as helpers, activists, changemakers, or organizational leaders and want space to process how these roles affect them personally - Are going through a significant life transition - Want to explore and understand how childhood experiences, including trauma, might be affecting them now My background shapes how you can expect therapy with me to feel. As a social worker, I’m interested in collaboratively exploring how your history, relationships, cultures, identities, and environment shape who you are and what you’re going through now. As a mindfulness-informed therapist, I’ll be attuned to helping you sit with and compassionately relate to difficult thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations – in addition to processing the specific content of those experiences. Finally, as a provider trained in integrated behavioral health, I’m always excited to discuss the fascinating and important ways that mind and body are linked and to incorporate mind-body interventions into treatment. Prior to becoming a therapist, I worked for many years as an organizer and advocate on labor and health issues, including in the non-profit and public sectors.
