Bren Chasse

Bren M. Chasse, LMFT of Anchor Psychotherapy is a therapist in Pasadena, CA with a specialization in trauma therapy. The word trauma is often used to describe an experience, situation, or series of events that are emotionally painful, distressing, and that overwhelm an individual’s ability to effectively cope.

Bren M. Chasse, LMFT of Anchor Psychotherapy is a psychologist in Pasadena working with expertise in child & family therapy.
