Steven Bradshaw, LMFT, SEP, CGP

I am a Licensed Psychotherapist (LMFT), Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP), and Certified Group Psychotherapist (CGP) with training in Internal Family Systems and Attachment-Focused EMDR.

I am the Executive Director of Beyond Psychology Center and work as a Transformational Coach for Mobius Executive Leadership.

I help high-potential humans who feel stuck build a life that feels great on the inside and attracts a community of like souls. I use a mind-body approach that engages your inner healer to move from states of anxiety, burnout, disconnection, and pain to states of goodness, flow, and feeling at home in your body. This provides a foundation for deeply intimate relationships and a meaningful career adaptation, which naturally unfolds into a community platform organized around a shared sense of purpose and energy.

I combine Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems, Neuroscience, Attachment Theory, and Psychodynamic approaches and have trained personally with Peter Levine (Somatic Experiencing), Thomas Hübl (Collective Trauma), Bessel van der Kolk (Body Keeps the Score), and Richard Schwartz (Internal Family Systems).

I have two Masters Degrees, one in Clinical Psychology and one in Business Science, and a three year specialization as a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner. Before becoming a psychotherapist, I worked for seven years in Investment Banking and Private Equity. I also spent eight years traveling the world rock climbing, sailing, creating visual art, and reorienting to my own deeper sense of purpose, which would become: helping humans to achieve their true potential.

I now live with my wife and daughter in Santa Monica, California. I still enjoy creating art and exploring wild and magical places. If you still would like to know more about me, you can read this article.

I currently have availability for private clients in-person in Santa Monica, California and online.
