Brandon Hester, LCSW Therapist
Brandon is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 7 years of experience in the field. He received his Masters of Social Work from the University of Denver in 2014 and has worked in a variety of outpatient mental health settings. The foundation of his alliance with client’s is making sure they feel heard, understood, and validated. Being a good listener comes first. Listening and making sure everyone feels heard and not judged is a high priority in his work and he feels it is the foundation for a good therapeutic relationship. Brandon focuses on providing empathy and a safe place to discuss tough emotions to gain insight into how they can improve themselves and their lives.
Continued learning is a crucial aspect of his approach to counseling. He is constantly reading to expand his understanding of motivations for behavior and ways to help facilitate client’s goals.
