About Dr. Les Brinson

I am a licensed Ph. D.-level psychologist in North Carolina with 40+ years of experience. I am passionate about practicing psychology with patients, especially in supporting individuals through life’s complex challenges.

Mainly, my patients come to me for help with:
• Anxiety and chronic worry
• Depression and low motivation
• Stress, burnout, and work-life balance
• Life transitions (retirement, aging, health changes, loss)
• Relationship concerns and communication issues
• Adjustment to illness or changing roles
• Meaning, purpose, and identity

I bring a compassionate approach to working with diverse populations, with a particular focus on caregiver stress, financial challenges, aging concerns, and relationship issues. My therapeutic style honors each individual’s unique experiences and is committed to creating a supportive and affirming environment.

I draw on decades of professional experience and expertise in applying all evidence-based psychotherapy problem-solving approaches. I offer nuanced guidance for older adults, families, and individuals navigating significant life transitions. My practice is rooted in respect, empathy, and a genuine desire to support personal growth and emotional well-being.

It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!
