A different kind of practice

Outside of psychiatry, I privately mentor a small number of accomplished people who have built a successful life that no longer feels like theirs: doctors, founders, lawyers, executives.
‍
It's a three-month, one-to-one mentorship. We work out what actually lights you up, resolve the inner conflicts and unconscious barriers keeping you where you are, and build a practical path to a life that feels alive and authentic, guided by someone who has walked it himself.

Welcome, I’m Brendan

Years as psychiatrist
2021
Founded Pandion Health

At thirty-four I was offered a path to a two-million-dollar psychiatry career in California. I turned it down. Not on principle. I could see the next thirty years of my life from where I was standing, and I didn't want them. I now work with a small number of people who choose deep alignment.

I'd made it. That turned out to be the problem. Arriving strips away the last excuse you have for not asking what you actually want.

The Mentorship

Three months. One-to-one. Limited to four clients at a time.

For high-achieving professionals navigating the passage from a successful life that isn't theirs to one that is. The work is depth-first, practical-second. By the end you'll have clarity on what lights you up and concrete steps toward aligning your life with it.
