Bry Larrea Associate Marriage and Family Therapist is Pasadena California

Hi there, I'm Bry. (pronounced "bree").

I found my way to therapy by sitting on the couch as a client first. I was anxious, overwhelmed, and after a decade in the corporate tech world, deeply disconnected from myself and others. Over time—and with a lot of hard work—I started to feel like a steadier, more me version of myself. Therapy changed my life, which led me here.

I work with couples, families, and individuals. My specialties include:

  • Infidelity & betrayal

  • High-conflict couples and adult families

  • Complex family dynamics

  • Estrangement and reunification in adult families

  • Trauma

  • Grief

I believe humans are deeply resilient, and that healing happens when we do it in connection with others. My hope is to meet my clients with radical acceptance, wherever you are, and help you move toward what you long for. I see clients in person in Pasadena and via telehealth.

I trained at Maple Counseling Center and OPICA, and hold a Master's in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University in Los Angeles.

When I'm not in session, you'll find me at the pottery wheel, chasing a great cup of coffee, writing a stageplay, or at the movies.
