Greetings, my name is Hana (She/Her/They/Them) and I am the founder and therapist at Little Grasshopper Family Therapy – an integrative therapeutic practice for children and families. Little Grasshopper was founded to create a warm and inclusive space for children and families in our community to work through healing, growth, and trauma reclamation.

At Little Grasshopper Family Therapy, the focus is on nurturing strong beginnings—for both children and caregiver(s). Rooted in the belief that early relationships shape lifelong well-being, this practice supports families through the tender and transformative seasons of early parenthood.

Specializing in attachment, bonding, and early intervention, Little Grasshopper Family Therapy offers a warm, grounded space where parents/caregiver(s) and young children can strengthen connection, build emotional attunement, and repair disruptions that may arise from stress, overwhelm, or early trauma. Whether navigating the transition into parenthood, supporting a sensitive or struggling child, or healing from past experiences that impact present relationships, the work centers on restoring a sense of safety and trust within the family system.

The approach is holistic and relational, recognizing that each child develops within the context of their caregivers, environment, and lived experiences. Care is tailored to honor the unique rhythms of each family, integrating developmental understanding, trauma-informed practices, and a deep respect for the parent-child bond.

Little Grasshopper Family Therapy is especially passionate about early support—meeting families as soon as challenges emerge, or even before, to foster resilience, prevent deeper struggles, and cultivate secure, connected relationships that can grow and thrive over time.

Brian is in awe of the birth process as a biological and psychospiritual experience. He believes it is the ultimate rite of passage and shapes each of our psyches. Pregnancy and birth also mark a major transition in a couple’s relationship and may surface psychological material from childhood. For these reasons and because parenting comes with many additional stressors and challenges, it can be helpful to talk to a therapist. Brian is honored to work with expecting parents, first time parents, and parents at any stage of raising children.

 

Brian’s approach to therapy is informed by Depth Psychology in general and by Carl Jung and Stan Grof’s work in particular. He believes that the psyche is expansive and inclined toward healing and full expression. Our complexes, emotional patterns, psychosomatic symptoms, and life struggles can be frustrating and feel overwhelming at times, but they also point the way toward greater self-understanding, inspiration, and vitality. Brian follows his clients’ lead about what is most important to them and collaborates on their process by way of empathic attunement, deep listening, and through the exploration of dreams, active imagination, and somatic experiencing. This can help clients fortify their nervous systems, establish healthier communication patterns, and manage feelings of anxiety, depression, and isolation.

 

If you have any questions about working with Brian, feel free to reach out to him directly at brian.brink.therapy@gmail.com or learn more by visiting his profile on Psychology Today. 

Brian is currently a pre-licensed therapist working under the supervision of Robert Steffke and Lichen Health. He accepts Medi-Cal and offers a sliding scale for private pay clients.
