About

Let’s Create Meaningful Change

I’m Dr. Brian Spitsbergen, Ph.D., a passionate executive leader, therapist, and organizational consultant with over 35 years of experience in behavioral health, education, and nonprofit leadership.

Currently, I serve as President of the Michigan School of Psychology and run my own private practice, Brian Spitsbergen PhD PLLC, where I work with individuals and organizations to foster growth, resilience, and meaningful change.

Throughout my career, I’ve built bridges between therapy, leadership, advocacy, and education. I believe in a humanistic, client-centered approach that values collaboration, creativity, and solutions tailored to each unique challenge.
