Season 1, Episode 1

Today's Guest: Brian Zirngible, LMFT, is a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist with a solo private practice in Burnsville, Minnesota. He is an actively working musician and performer based in the Twin Cities. His passion and specialty is helping other musicians and creative artists live more authentic and balanced lives. Brian's focus is on self-care, setting healthy boundaries, and turning pain into possibility. Clients find it helpful that he understands and is currently living with some of the unique challenges within the entertainment industry. Colleague Ernesto Segismundo Jr., LMFT, says this about Brian: "He is, in my opinion, a blend between David Bowie and the modern-day psychoanalyst."
