Brandon Pace, LCSW

I'm a therapist, sex-educator, social worker, and I truly believe therapy can change lives.

Education & Credentials

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with dual master’s degrees in Social Work and Human Sexuality Education (M.Ed).

My clinical background includes work with adolescents, young adults, caregivers, and adults across community mental health and school-based settings, with experience supporting anxiety, trauma, identity exploration, relationship concerns, and life transitions.

My approach is trauma-informed, sex-positive, LGBTQIA+ affirming, and grounded in creating a therapeutic space that feels collaborative, approachable, and emotionally safe.

My Approach

I believe therapy works best when it feels collaborative. We will move at a pace that makes sense for you while still working toward real, practical change.

My style is trauma-informed, down-to-earth, and flexible. Some days that may mean building coping strategies. Other days it may mean slowing down and making sense of patterns, relationships, or experiences that have been weighing on you.

Support for anxiety, overthinking, emotional overwhelm, stress, self-esteem concerns, and developing coping strategies that feel realistic for everyday life.

Relationships & Identity

A supportive space to explore relationship concerns, boundaries, intimacy, communication, breakups, identity development, and LGBTQIA+ related topics.

Drawing from a background in Human Sexuality Education, I support clients exploring gender, sexuality, intimacy, non-monogamy, kink/BDSM, and more authentic connection with themselves and others.

Getting Started

This website is the best way to get in touch with me.

The easiest way to get started is by submitting a consultation request through this website. Consultation requests are reviewed directly, and I typically respond within 1–2 business days regarding availability, insurance compatibility, and next steps.

While my Grow Therapy profile may occasionally display limited availability or indicate that I am not accepting new clients, I may still have openings depending on scheduling and insurance compatibility.

If we decide to move forward after an initial consultation, I can provide a direct scheduling link through Grow Therapy. Grow Therapy is the platform used for scheduling, insurance verification, and telehealth services.

Please review the Accepted Options section for the most current insurance and payment information.

What to Expect

Our first session is a place to start.

In our first session, we'll spend time getting to know each other, talking through what has been bringing you to therapy, and identifying what support would feel most helpful moving forward.

You do not need to have everything figured out before reaching out. Our first conversation is simply an opportunity to begin where you are and determine what feels most helpful for your goals.

My goal is to create a space that feels collaborative, comfortable, and grounded from the beginning.
