Conversations That Matter: Speaking on Mental Health, Identity & Collective Resilience

Bringing real conversations, cultural humility, humor, and healing-centered insight to every room we enter.

We don’t just talk about mental health, we invite people into it. Our speaking engagements are designed to spark reflection, challenge stigma, and create space for authenticity in schools, companies, and communities. From first-generation student panels to corporate workshops on burnout and belonging, we speak to the human experience—navigating identity, pressure, resilience, and the messy middle of it all.

With over a decade of experience as Licensed Clinical Social Workers and educators, we bring both clinical knowledge and lived insight to every conversation. Whether you're hosting a keynote, training, or wellness event, we’ll work with you to shape a meaningful, culturally attuned experience for your audience.

    "Brandon is an incredible, warm, and thoughtful mental health professional..."

    APIA Scholars had the pleasure of having Brandon on board as facilitator for our Stay in Check in Series in partnership with the Asian Mental Health Project. Brandon curated 10 different mental health and wellness topics to cover in these free community wellness groups. We appreciate his care in ensuring the curriculum was culturally relevant for scholars who are part of the AANHPI community and are mostly in college or recently graduated. Over the course of this series, we found scholars continue to return to new sessions because of the safe and inclusive space Brandon created, community fostered, and the mix of learnings and takeaway techniques that he offered with each topic. Moreover, seeing that we hosted virtual sessions, Brandon worked diligently to engage our scholars by checking in, opening the room for discussion and questions, and being mindful of different comfort levels. Brandon is an incredible, warm, and thoughtful mental health professional who cares deeply about students and their well-being. We'd be privileged to have the opportunity to work with him and K&B Therapy again in the future.

    "Not only were Brandon and Kaelly wonderful to work with...the trainings they provided were well attended and received positive feedback asking for them to return!"

    I am a Training Coordinator for Seneca Family of Agencies, a mental health non-profit that serves foster and system-involved youth. We booked a 3 workshop series about BIPOC wellness, networking, the pursuit of happiness, and self-care for youth care professionals. Not only were Brandon and Kaelly wonderful to work with administratively (responsive, efficient, and warm), the trainings they provided were well attended and received positive feedback asking for them to return! Our staff learned a lot about themselves and the work they do and more. They left the sessions feeling empowered and inspired. I will be more than happy to work with K&B Therapy again in the future!!

  • "We were so happy when we discovered K & B Therapy, especially because of the diversity of opinions and advice that Kaelly and Brandon brought to the table. "

    This review is long overdue. Kaelly and Brandon were fantastic hosts for our school-sponsored event back in October 2021. A student-led organization at my law school wanted to present a virtual session where mental health professionals would come and speak to students about the negative stigmas related to mental health within the Latino/a communities. We were so happy when we discovered K & B Therapy, especially because of the diversity of opinions and advice that Kaelly and Brandon brought to the table. We gave them both a general idea of what we wanted to discuss during our virtual event, and they exceeded our expectations. They both led the discussion but also got students involved with questions and relatable stories about mental health. My favorite part was them incorporating actual examples of how a situation might play out at home with friends or family who downplay the importance of mental health and then providing us with advice on how to best tackle these uncomfortable and sensitive situations. Please do not hesitate to reach out to Kaelly and Brandon for help with your mental health issues and to feel like you're equipped with the tools to combat your anxieties and worries. Our students very much appreciated the help and we hope to have you back next school year!

Your Audience Deserves More Than Just a Talk.
They Deserve to Feel Seen.

We don’t show up with rehearsed scripts, we show up with presence, purpose, and a message that meets people where they are. Whether we’re speaking to students, leaders, or entire organizations, our goal is the same: to create space for real conversations, cultural truth-telling, and healing that lingers long after the event ends.

If you’re ready to offer your audience inspiration, impact, and practical tools—let’s talk.
