Contact Information Vacant Brian Hart, AMFT On a distant planet, around a dying Red Sun, a scientist and his wife bundled their infant son into an experimental rocket, and launched him towards Earth. Unfortunately, this is NOT the story of Brian Hart, but I always hoped it might be true. Later in life, I decided to become a Marriage and Family Therapist in order to work with others. I graduated from Antioch Los Angeles with a Master’s degree in psychology. Currently, I am now an associate MFT working on completing my hours for licensure. If you are an individual, couple or adolescent who seeks a deeper understanding of yourself and your relationships, together we can create a healing narrative that allows for change and growth.
