The Bresler Center for Mind/Body Medicine in Malibu
The Bresler Center was founded in 1989 by Dr. David Bresler, a pioneer in complementary and alternative medicine. Our center combines cutting-edge mind/body medicine approaches with personalized care to address chronic pain, addiction, trauma, anxiety, and stress-related conditions. Dr. Bresler's expertise, recognized through awards and appointments like the White House Commission on CAM Policy, ensures evidence-based treatments validated by decades of research. We utilize modalities such as acupuncture, EMDR, biofeedback, and transcranial stimulation under direct medical supervision. Our team collaborates with patients and families to deliver tailored solutions when conventional methods fail.As educators and researchers, we advance clinical protocols and train professionals globally. Our success stems from Dr. Bresler's diagnostic acumen and integrative therapies addressing root causes rather than symptoms. We maintain transparency in treatment methodologies and prioritize patient-centered outcomes. With offices in Malibu, Ventura, and West Los Angeles, we serve diverse communities through in-person and remote consultations. Our commitment to innovation is demonstrated through FDA-cleared electronic devices for anxiety and insomnia management.

Services
Acupuncture
Our acupuncture treatments use fine needles to stimulate specific points for pain relief and wellness. This ancient practice addresses chronic pain, stress, and addiction by restoring energy flow. Patients experience reduced inflammation and improved nervous system function through personalized treatment plans.
EMDR Therapy
EMDR therapy helps process traumatic memories through guided eye movements. We treat PTSD, anxiety, and phobias by reprocessing distressing experiences. This evidence-based approach reduces emotional distress while maintaining patient safety and control throughout treatment.
Transcranial Stimulation
Transcranial stimulation uses mild electrical currents to regulate brain activity. Our FDA-cleared devices treat depression, anxiety, and insomnia by modulating neural pathways. This non-invasive treatment offers drug-free symptom relief through portable, home-use devices.
Biofeedback
Biofeedback training teaches self-regulation of bodily functions through real-time monitoring. Patients learn stress management techniques by observing physiological responses. This method effectively addresses chronic pain, hypertension, and anxiety disorders through measurable progress tracking.
Herbal Therapy
Herbal therapy combines traditional remedies with modern research for holistic treatment. We use plant-based supplements to support healing and manage symptoms. This approach addresses digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, and chronic inflammation through customized herbal formulations.
