Why did you become a therapist, and what motivates you to continue?

I actually became a therapist on my plight to joining the medical field. At my first internship, I realized majority of the people I was "treating" medically, just needed to be heard. I spent majority of my time sitting in the patient's offices and listening to them to determine their needs were emotional. I learned quickly that therapy was my passion. It has not left me! My motivation to continue is merely the love I have for it. I want to be the light for people when they feel "dark". I want to remind people who they are when they don't feel their best. 

My name is Dr. Bryant and I am so excited to meet ya! I treat people virtually in the state of California. I also offer both in person and virtual services in the state of Tennessee. I created As You Are Therapy because therapy can be terrifying! I developed my practice with that in mind- so I could be different. As You Are was created with autonomy in mind. Come sit on my couch (IRL or Virtually) and be as authentically you as you want (literally without judgement). I want you to walk in, feel welcomed, and leave feeling your best. My therapeutic approach matches your vibe and we will build a relationship where comfort and acceptance are priority. Healing is a progression and I cannot wait to see you, as you are!  

I became a therapist to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives, combining my expertise in nursing and psychiatry to provide holistic care. I’m motivated by the resilience of my patients and their ability to overcome challenges with the right support. Seeing my patients grow, heal, and thrive is what drives me to continue this work every day.

About Me: I am a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with 15+ years of experience in both physical and mental healthcare. I received a Master of Science in Nursing from Chamberlain University and earned Bachelor of Science degrees in Business and Nursing. I bring a compassionate, individualized approach to help my clients overcome their mental health concerns. With a strong background in both psychiatry and nursing, my mission is to provide high-quality mental health care to my patients. I specialize in assessing, diagnosing, and treating a wide range of mental health issues using a compassionate and evidence-based approach. I am currently accepting new patients age 6+ and specialize in difficulty relaxing or sleeping, depression, anxiety, bipolar, ADHD, OCD, PTSD, autism, and many other challenges. I offer therapeutic interventions, such as psychotherapy and counseling, and I collaborate with other healthcare providers to ensure comprehensive care for each patient. My goal is to educate patients and their families about mental health and provide them with the tools and coping strategies necessary for a healthier life. With extensive experience across various healthcare settings, including hospice care, rehabilitation, and outpatient services, I am committed to delivering exceptional care to individuals of all ages. Whether working with low-income clients or those with complex medical needs, I approach each case with cultural competence and sensitivity. I believe in fostering a team-oriented environment, keeping open lines of communication with physicians and other professionals, to ensure continuity and quality of care. I am passionate about making a difference in the lives of my patients and look forward to supporting their journey to better mental health. Treatment philosophy: My treatment philosophy is centered on compassionate, patient-focused care. I believe in engaging deeply with my patients, listening to their unique stories, and understanding their needs. My approach integrates various therapeutic methods, such as cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior therapy, ensuring every individual receives tailored support. I value collaboration, working alongside a dedicated team of professionals to provide well-rounded care. Every treatment plan is crafted with cultural sensitivity and an emphasis on education, empowering patients and their families with the needed knowledge. I integrate both therapy and medication to help restore balance and enhance their quality of life. I aim to help them become the best version of themselves.

I became a therapist because I see the hurt and trauma that people are faced with daily. I want to bring hope and healing to those who desperately need their voice heard. I am motivated when I see clients make progress, either big or small changes because then I know the work I do is meaningful.

I became interested in being a therapist after my first psychology class in high school. I was a handful as a teen and wanted to help other teens who may have been feeling the way I did during that time. I eventually learned also became interested in treating addictions and this was where the first 5 years of my career was focused. I continue to have a passion for assisting others to realize they can absolutely live the life they imagined for themselves despite any past struggles they have experienced or any fears they may have about the future.

I became a therapist because I saw how powerful compassionate support and guidance could be in someone’s life. Growing up, I witnessed people around me struggle with mental health challenges without the tools or understanding to manage them. This motivated me to study psychology and social work, wanting to make a difference by helping others find their path to healing. What keeps me going is seeing the resilience and progress in my clients. Each time someone reaches a breakthrough, builds a new coping skill, or feels even a little more empowered, it reinforces why I do this work.

I believe that the therapeutic process is about supporting humans in remembering, cultivating, and living into their full humanity - into who they really are. Despite the fact that life and the systems we live in make it very difficult to remember that we are already whole, worthy, and good enough, I believe that the right questions, gentle reminders, and holding sacred space can lead us to our own answers, and to the innate wisdom that lies underneath the stories that have been piled on top. As a psychotherapist and yoga teacher, I invite pain, discomfort, and repressed emotions to come to the surface and be experienced, witnessed, and let go of in a safe and nonjudgmental setting, while remaining sensitive to and curious about each of our unique lived experiences, external environments, and access to social support. When we remember, reconnect and open to the wonder and awe of who we truly are, we move out into the world wise and free. Effective therapy is not possible without a strong therapeutic relationship. Showing up to slow down, be present, and cultivate connection with oneself and others is challenging in our fast paced and technologically driven society. What I love most about my work is providing a safe space for people to connect with themselves and express their truths. This includes working to understand how your differing beliefs, lived experiences, cultural and social identities, and generational trauma interweave to manifest your daily reality and our interactions. I am deeply honored to share this space with you, and to support you in uncovering what is already within you.
