Brian Tierney

Brian Tierney, PhD is a licensed psychologist, somatic clinician, and neuroscience educator. He teaches neuroscience and somatic psychology at the California Institute of Integral Studies and maintains a clinical and training practice focused on trauma, development, and embodied relational processes. His interdisciplinary work draws on philosophy of immanence, evolutionary biology, embryology, biosemiotics, and mythological studies to examine consciousness as a multi-scale, relational phenomenon. He is particularly interested in how biological organization, archetypal patterning, and social fields intersect through processes of sense-making, paradox, and transformation. His forthcoming book, Visionary Somatics, develops a field-based approach to consciousness that integrates neuroscience, embodied practice, and philosophical ontology.
