Kairos Relationship & Personal Growth Coaching Anmeldelser 

Bryan has a very practical approach to relationships and personal developments, but also very understanding and flexible. He is a very attentive listener, comes up with tools that are very applicable right away, and can measure your progress in clear ways. He helped me reach some important realizations and clarity of the situations. He then helped me figure out how to work with it. I highly recommend him for anyone who has a developmental goal they want to reach.

I first started working with Bryan in the fall of 2020 (and continuing this process with him currently). My wife and I were struggling in our relationship and covid compounded the affects of our problems. It would be an understatement to say things were falling apart. We were already in the process of getting a divorce. We started our couple’s counseling with Bryan as a last-ditch effort to see if we could salvage our marriage. If I’m honest, I believed the relationship was over and while I hoped otherwise, I didn’t see how we could change our current course. Prior to this experience, I had my fair share of skepticism for therapy. Full transparency, at times I can be that stereotypical guy that doesn’t like discussing my feelings, sharing emotions, being vulnerable, etc. It has been no easy feat to break these barriers. Bryan has been immensely helpful in overcoming these challenges and I always leave a session with new insights on how to improve further. I read a review discounting Bryan’s process/approach because he isn’t licensed. While I appreciate the perspective of others, I disagree with these remarks. I don’t believe they should carry weight when deciding your personal journey and growth. I’ve been to “licensed professionals” where I felt our time together was meaningless. In some cases, I felt like a time slot on a clock and a paycheck to be collected. I’ve never felt this way with Bryan since starting back in 2020. I feel like he’s genuinely interested in our journey (individually and as a couple). Bryan is patient and intuitive. He’s always been an objective listener and gives non-biased & balanced feedback. Additionally, I feel like he provides great perspective (as it relates to my wife’s point of view), while keeping a neutral stance. I’m appreciative of that. He’s provided many helpful technique/tools for communication and these methods have helped considerably. My time with Bryan has been personally impactful and I’m grateful. I’ve experienced a ton of growth and gained meaningful value during our sessions together. My relationship with my wife has improved significantly during this time. Although, the status of our marriage/divorce is still undetermined, there’s no denying the progress we’ve made thus far. I don’t assign merit to Bryan, based on the status of our marriage. I’m not attached to the outcome; I’m focused on the growth. He serves as a guide for our journey, but we’re accountable for our own path. I speak highly of him, because of his commitment to us and for the support he provides during this process. Without hesitation, I’d recommend Bryan to anyone looking for this type of positive change.

I would give Bryan a 12/5 ! He is the best investment you could possible make if you need growth ! He is an amazing listener and an understanding person of BOTH sides. He is a very intelligent person that sees passion in people and in saving their relationship ! Never in my life I thought I would be able to fix my marriage without Bryan guiding us step by step and helping us understand who we are as individuals and as a married couple. I would most definitely recommend Bryan for personal, spiritual, relationship growth! Thank you Bryan !

Totally worth it!!! He helped us grow as a person and in our marriage. He helped us see things we didn't in ourselves and in each other. He was the best investment we made !!! I most definitely recommend him 10/10 !

Working with Brian was a pleasure. Marriage counseling is not something that most of us hope to ever need or look forward to. That said Brian is a kind, thoughtful person who is easy to talk to. He excelled in guiding my wife and I through situations where we seemed to reach an impasse. He was clearly on our side as a couple and both of us felt we could trust him. With his help we were able to come up with a plan to move forward and reached true compromise when on our own we had not been able to. Furthermore, he also gave us tools moving forward to help our relationship grow, not just repair it. I highly recommend him as a marriage counselor.

My wife and I worked with Brian over a period of four months to enhance and improve our relationship. Brian has a structured approach to relationship building using a framework which is well designed and relatively easy to follow. His sessions were very effective - he does a good job listening and always provides meaningful, balanced, insight and guidance. Although I was a little concerned about the price tag at first, I found it was well worth the money. If you want to make a LASTING change in your relationship, this is the coaching for you.

Bryan is not only a great marriage counselor and a life coach but also an amazing human being! He listens very patiently and gives the most practical and actionable feedback. I highly recommend connecting with Bryan instead of self-help books or online reading. You can trust this expert!

I began my time with Bryan feeling really heavy and at one of the hardest times in my life. The person I loved most had just passed away, I was involved in some pretty empty relationships, and I was unsure of how to navigate through life. I felt lost, alone, and like my world had just fell apart.
I am forever thankful that I was recommended to Bryan. He is so genuine in his desire to help you grow through whatever it is that you’re going through. He really does guide you every step of the way, helping you pinpoint the root of an issue, mapping out a clear plan to achieve your goals, and most importantly checking in on you afterwards.
I distinctly remember telling Bryan in our consultation that all I wanted was “to not feel so alone and be less sad.” (A great feat, I know) However, not only did I find new and lasting sources of happiness through more wholesome relationships, I’m learning so much about myself in the process. Bryan goes out of his way to not only give you the resources to understand and approach an issue, but works with you to find a comfortable way to implement your new knowledge and build up your skill set.
As a coach, Bryan is inquisitive, detailed, and compassionate. As a person, he is kind, funny, and makes any difficult conversation comfortable and enjoyable. He has such a different and refreshing perspective. I have found so much peace and understanding through my conversations with him; I always end our time feeling lighter and encouraged.
If you’re reading this review, deciding whether or not you should reach out, I highly recommend that you give him a try. Meeting with him is the best investment I have ever made in myself.

Side note: I meet with Bryan via video chat and it is ridiculously convenient. I promise you that it'll work with any schedule.

We found Bryan when we were on the verge of thinking divorce might be our only option. We decided to give it a last chance. Bryan is empathetic, patience, and he gave good advice and tools for us to work on our relationship. After working with him, I feel like our relationship has improved, and feel closer to each other than before. Also, after working with him individually, I was able to have my anxiety under controlled which is very important to me. If you have doubts about your relationship, I highly recommend reaching out to Bryan, and I hope it works out for you too.

Seeking and asking for help can be an intimating and daunting endeavor. But Bryan made every step of the process painless. From the initial phone conversion to our first session with Bryan, everything has felt comfortable and knew Bryan cared right away.

My wife and I were 2 months from getting married and had noticed a pattern of unsettled arguments. After the 1st session with Bryan, he was able to identify some major flaws in how we went about our arguments.

Going into our wedding day and even the few hours following our ceremony I know that my wife and I created a new understanding and bond that would have not been possible without the help of Bryan. Thank you.

The conversations and the skills learned from Bryan have carried through to not just my romantic relationship, but to work colleagues and personal friends as well. If you have any inkling of needing a little help, Bryan is your guy.

My wife and I have been working with Bryan for help when we really needed it. We've improved our communication to eachother by leaps and bounds and it's really helped us a ton overall. At first I wasn't sure how well this would work out for us but now I'm glad that we made that first step towards being better to each other.

When I met Bryan, I was a brash 20-year-old Sophomore at the University of Washington. I had zeal but lacked discipline and direction, which often led to half-finished goals and broken promises.

By the time I graduated, these issues became more prevalent and started to affect my job, relationships, physical and mental health. That's when I reached out to Bryan, and after several months of coaching, I started noticing positive changes in my life and so were those around me. What is unique about Bryan is his ability to provide comprehensive counseling and coaching.

Whether it was helping me identify my goals and map out practical steps to achieve them or walking with me as I was challenged to reflect on family issues that deeply affected my self-image, Bryan knows how to expertly navigate all walks of life.

Fast forward 5 years, I can directly attribute the time spent with Bryan to several promotions at my work, a healthy marriage and friendships, and an ever-growing relationship God. Thank you, Bryan!

I highly recommend Bryan for couples who are experiencing "Stuck-ness". He has been amazing at providing relationship repair guidance, as well as building self-improvement!

I appreciated how much effort he puts into understanding each of us -- our desires, motivations, fears, insecurities -- and in doing so, he offered very helpful tools and advice that respected our own individual personality. What might start out as general inquiry leads into custom-tailored action items, and he truly addressed both the symptoms and underlying issues in rebuilding our trust and connection.

Additionally, through working with Bryan, I feel less like a robot and more like a human. As someone who analyzes so much and plans for the future, I oddly failed to do enough introspection of my own feelings and others. Bryan often asks critical and thought-provoking questions that led me to better understand myself and my partner's perspective, which has helped make things so much more intimate!

Again, highly recommend!

Bryan was exactly what we needed for our relationship. Without getting too much in the weeds, the understanding we got out of our sessions were beyond our own expectations and realizations. We’re much better people individually and together - the things we learned also trickle into our day-to-day life. I am so grateful for the journey we’ve been on with Bryan but also now excited for the future which I have not been in years. 10/10 highly recommend. You will receive tactical tools to implement that last beyond your time in these sessions. We still check our assumptions 6 months later!

Bryan has been instrumental in coaching and advising me over the past several years. The way that he listens, his ability to pinpoint root issues and ask follow-up questions that guide you to self-realization is a truly unique skill. I have the highest recommendations for anyone who is looking to be heard and understood, want change in their life, and to grow in self-reflection and/or their relationship with God. Simply try the free consultation to see what I mean - you are in good hands!

Thank you for everything you have done for us so far. You are truly exceptional at what you do. You are incredibly kind yet honest with what we need to hear. Your perception and skill at communicating and rephrasing things is kind of amazing to me. I wish I had you as a therapist 30 years ago! But better late than never. We continue to be a work in progress, but it is a more honest, realistic and loving relationship. I am so grateful.

Fantastic listener with tools that work. I would recommend Bryan Staab to any couple (or person) looking to improve their relationships!

Bryan is so amazing! He is very patient and is a great listener. Conflict can be hard especially with family and Bryan really took the time to understand how we felt. He gave me and my husband the tools to properly communicate with family about those feelings. I would highly recommend anyone that is having a hard time with any conflict to reach out to Brian for support. I have never had any counseling or therapy prior and felt that it also helped me improve as an individual. It was all about that right person and I am so happy that we found him. Thank you, Bryan!

As that one friend people believe to be fully grounded/always knows what she's doing, the go-to pillar for support & advice-- you'd think I'd be the last person to show up at the steps of Bryan's office. After spending enough time trying to overcome the lasting effects of my own personal trauma that led to some repeated mistakes I made in relationships, I realized like most, I could no longer let the spirit of stubbornness control me, finally throwing my hands up in the air to the universe and asking for help. I discovered Kairos here on Yelp. At the time I was in a weird on/off stalemate with my ex that left me feeling very unsettled and conflicted. Bryan is easily the most uplifting person. He demonstrates the understanding and patience needed in a coach that will help move you forward. He is the compassionate person who will listen to you as you unpack the messy stuff of being human and he dropped some valuable gems on setting boundaries and improving communication. I ultimately decided I'd no longer be getting back together with the dude after realizing we were heading off in different directions and not the right fit for each other. There was a huge weight pulled off my shoulders as I finally released myself from this limbo and I feel empowered knowing I've emerged with a trove of tools not only needed for being in a healthy, vulnerable relationship when I am with the right man, but simply to question, to grow, to engage better with others. My attitude at work has changed, I'm not afraid to advocate for myself when unjust issues arise and know to seek clarity with the other party rather than holding any presumptions. I even began my own podcast-- something I always had thoughts about over the last few years but never had the drive nor courage to truly execute!

At this time, I feel strongly rooted in this journey of growth, excited for the upcoming chapters ahead, and simply loving the woman I am becoming. I feel a profound sense of gratitude towards Bryan for helping nudge me on this path and without hesitation recommend him. Thank you so much, Bryan!

I found Bryan on a whim, and this is my first time seeking counseling. I came in distraught and lifeless from past relationship/childhood traumas, but truly looking for honest/transparent feedback, self-discovery, and a drastic change in my current paradigm/beliefs system. Sometimes our perspectives can be so skewed, we need an unbiased person to help us detangle out of this web and find the real underlying issues.

After even a couple sessions, i can say I have been enlightened by Bryan's mentorship. He asks many leading, provoking questions- sometimes simple questions without being invasive/cliche, but rather have you pinpoint the answers yourself. He creates a safe environment and empowers you by patiently holding space, alluding compassion/humility and gives wise advice backed up by scientific evidence, the spiritual realm, psychology (whatever your preference, he will convey well) his past experiences and his intuitive mindset. He was able to give me real-life "homework" to appl what I learned, and there were restoration that happened i never thought possible. Miracles happen!!! I can attest that two of his exercises alone have changed the direction of my life/relationships, and if I knew it earlier I would've honestly saved so much heartache. I find that it is not often what people say, but how they frame it that will make the impact on you. You can tell he genuinely cares and is passionate about his work of helping others.

Honestly, I am still in shock that I was able to put to rest some of my deepest, core hurts and experience a peace/clarity that I haven't for years, probably decades. For that, I cannot put a price on what I learned. I highly recommend anyone from all walks of life to go to Bryan!

Even in your first session, you will be dramatically impacted. I promise you taking off the bandages will burn, but facing/healing your wounds full-on will be more fulfilling than you can imagine - no better person to do this with than him! Your time with Bryan will be most invaluable to your personal growth!
