Brian Hides
LPC
Hi there, I’m Brian
“Courage doesn't always roar”; rather, it often shows up in quiet, everyday moments—when we shift our perspectives, face hard truths, engage in difficult conversations, and seek help. I’m Brian, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and it is my deepest privilege to walk alongside my clients as they undergo profound and powerful changes in their lives, to become the best versions of themselves.
I focus on creating a compassionate and nonjudgmental space where clients feel safe, heard, and supported. I use a trauma-informed and strengths-based approach, tailoring my methods to each person’s unique needs, using evidence-based techniques. I work with people of all ages and genders, and I specialize in working with adolescents and young adults. I draw from a variety of evidence-based therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Client Centered approaches including Motivational Interviewing (MI). I help people with depression, anxiety, trauma, and substance use.
Reaching out for help takes courage and I look forward to working together to support you in creating the life you deserve.

THE LIVING PONO APPROACH
in life, Pono stands for righteousness and balance
In Hawaiian, if a person is living Pono, it means that they have struck the right balance within themselves, with other things, places, and the people in their lives.
We take that same approach when helping you to grow.
