What should people thinking about therapy with you, know about you?

During our initial session, I will take the time to hear your story and get to know the important components that will help us collaboratively develop the right treatment goals. I remind clients that our minds are like gardens; what we choose to nourish will grow and, what will grow, will lead to our actions and behaviors. I am here to help you plant seeds that will help you live the life you truly want for yourself. When experiencing hardship, the resilience, courage, and strength it takes to prioritize your needs can be challenging. I want to provide reassurance that you are not alone in getting there. I will assign exercises to implement into your everyday life and help you learn practical tools to implement outside of our sessions. I am currently offering virtual therapy sessions for individuals experiencing difficult life transitions, parents/new parents, couples, young adults, and working professionals who are struggling with issues, such as anxiety, depression, stress, and low self-esteem.

I strongly believe in open curiosity paired with synergy, which is a bedrock to a trust-based relationship. I aspire to aid you in building on your own strengths and learn additional skills that empower you to better manage life’s challenges. I believe that through the here-and-now process Irvin Yalom developed, the core of a trust-based relationship is working together and being open to the journey. This is true vulnerability, in real time. The outside world can melt away and this becomes your space that your emotions can fill. Nothing too heartbreaking, too much, too big, too painful, too loud, too joyful, or exuberant can lead me away from witnessing your journey alongside you. I believe together we can come to fully understand you better through growing your awareness. There will be moments of tears, great anger, feelings of betrayal, and finally relief. This is what I know will be as we work together.

I specialize in substance abuse treatment, and my main focus is complex trauma. I invite you to reach out and begin this journey into clarity and understanding. It takes desire and curiosity to begin knowing your true self. This journey will consist of many emotions, uncomfortable moments of awareness, and tears. But it is through the desire for something different that we choose to embark on such an adventure.

I have been in the field of Mental health for 10 years working with all different people and populations. Prior to my mental health career, I was an elementary school teacher for 6 years.

Finding a therapist that you feel comfortable with is very important.

***Currently accepting new clients***  Life can become overwhelming and at times we need someone to help us sort through things.

My sessions are often client led, but I am not a silent therapist. I believe in helping my clients break their problems and issues down to find adequate solutions or simple acceptance. I encourage my clients to do self-reflection and self exploration in and out of the session.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I obtained my Master’s Degree in Clinical Counseling Psychology from Clayton State University. I have a passion for working with young adult women of color experiencing life changes, transitions, anxiety, and depression. I have experience in working with individuals with anger issues, family/marital, and domestic violence concerns. My clients often value my ability to create a safe and affirming space to work through their concerns.

I understand the importance of working with someone who hears you and understands what you’ve been through. I’ve faced perfectionism and people-pleasing head-on and made it out on the other side of burnout. When we work together, I bring my experiences as a trained therapist AND human being to the table.

Hi! My name is Brianna, and I help New York City college students and young professionals gain greater confidence, set healthier boundaries, and cultivate better relationships. Clients work with me because they are ready to know they’re going to be ok instead of wondering if they’re ever going to be. I have experience in providing Clients with tools to assist them in cultivating meaningful relationships, establishing healthy boundaries, and building confidence to trust themselves. In each session, you’ll find an actual human being invested in your human experience and supporting your success.

Therapy works if YOU work it. Because all therapists are humans, we all have different personalities and perspectives that we bring into the services we provide. I've been told that I don't seem to fit into the mold of a stereotypical therapist. I care deeply about the work I get to do and am grateful for each and every person that allows me to be a part of their process. That being said, people who might describe themselves as "thin skinned" or "highly sensitive" or people who have unrealistic expectations and think that I am going to "fix" or "rescue" them may be less likely to appreciate my personality/approach as I am typically quite assertive and put the responsibility of actually doing the work on the client. Again - therapy works if YOU work it. In Consultations for services and when needed, I do let everyone know the expectations I place on my clients when you are working with me about skills practice and mood management between sessions. I do absolutely hold people accountable to this and if it seems to be an ongoing issue will work with you to problem solve the issue(s); if that doesn't seem to be effective I will work with you to find other providers who may be a better fit or offer additional services and talk to you about the possibility of returning to services when EMDR is more appropriate for you. My goal is to work myself out of a job and help you reach a point where you either only need check ins once or twice a year or are in a position to discharge services entirely.
