Bryan Hamilton (he/him) earned his Master of Social Work degree - Advance Standing MSW Program with a focus on serving individuals, groups, and community members in urban/metropolitan areas at Cal State University Los Angeles. In his early career, Bryan worked directly with and deeply understands the knowledge base of individuals belonging to the LGBTQIA+ community. He brings almost 2 decades of hands-on supportive efforts through his non-profit work, which included HIV testing, counseling, and linkage to care experience. Bryan utilizes a community-focused lens he gained from his long history working with AIDS Healthcare Foundation, a non-profit in Los Angeles for over 17 years. Bryan worked in providing mobile HIV clinical healthcare services and outreach efforts to the general public including sensitive populations in the (LGBTQIA+/Homeless population/Older adults/At-risk youth) communities. He bridged his passion to help others in the direct service arena with his MSW internship at Silverado Memory Care Community supporting those challenged with dementia-related conditions and disorders including family support in a residential facility in the greater Los Angeles area.
Bryan’s client-centered and non-profit grassroots approach integrated with his academic training is based on a self-empowering and community-based model. He has taken his background in public health, positive psychology, and somatic therapy and integrated what he considers highly impactful and supports healing to those in the community through a self-empowerment-rooted approach - Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment Therapy, and Somatic Therapy including Breathwork Facilitation and other Meditative and Holistic Practices.
