Hey, I’m Brian Briscoe. Welcome to PLACE.

A Safe Haven for Parents Healing After Estrangement

I know what it feels like to be lost in the pain of estrangement, to replay conversations, and to carry the weight of a fractured relationship. I also know that healing is possible—and that’s why I founded Parents Living After Child Estrangement (PLACE).

As a dually-licensed counselor, I’ve spent years helping individuals, couples, and families navigate anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, and life’s toughest challenges. I’ve worked in addiction recovery, law enforcement treatment programs, private practice, and now, I dedicate myself to supporting parents like you. PLACE isn’t just a program—it’s a community where no one is judged, labeled, or called “toxic.”

I believe in real conversations, practical solutions, and a judgment-free space. Here, we work together to find what works for you. Because your story isn’t over yet.
