Child or Adolescent Therapists in North Carolina

Hello! I've been a therapist for 5 years. I strive to provide a non-judgmental, safe space for anyone seeking therapy. Life can be hard y'all! A lot of times it helps to have someone to talk to and explore thoughts and feelings with. 

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 3 years of experience working with children, adolescents and adults. My practice is virtual in the state of North Carolina. I specialize with mood disorders, anxiety/panic, life transitions and trauma. 

I grew up in Baltimore, Maryland, and attended Rutgers University in New Jersey, where I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a Sociology minor. Growing up, family and friends always came to me for help and found comfort in talking to me about their challenges. I loved helping them and always knew I wanted a career where I would be able to help people and have a positive impact on their lives. When I was a freshman in college at Rutgers University, I saw Eric LeGrand play football, and during a game, he was paralyzed from the neck down. Doctors thought that he would never be able to breathe independently again, let alone have any movement or feeling in his body. However, LeGrand never let his situation define him. He relearned how to breathe without a ventilator’s assistance and eventually even regained feeling in his body and some movement. Throughout my years in college, I saw the challenges and adversity that he faced. Seeing him still push towards his goals and have such a positive outlook on life helped me realize that I wanted to help people have that same outlook even though they have faced challenges and struggles. I also spent my time at Rutgers volunteering for a mentoring program at a local high school that would help guide students through high school with the goal of earning a full scholarship to Rutgers University. Seeing the positive impact I could have on these student lives further fueled my passion for helping others. During my final year at Rutgers, I was fortunate enough to study abroad in Rome, Italy. I developed a love of travel and learning about different people, cultures, and customs. During that time, I traveled to six other countries, where I was immersed in different cultures and traditions, which helped me learn and grow as a person. After graduating, I moved to Washington, DC, where I attended The Chicago School of Professional Psychology, DC Campus, for my Masters in Clinical and Mental Health Counseling. In 2017 my wife and I moved to Charlotte and loved getting to know the city! In 2020 I started Bright View Counseling in Charlotte, North Carolina, to help those struggling and offer a unique type of therapy and counseling. I wanted to create a practice where I could bring a different twist to the typical therapy approach by involving unique and engaging activities during the session, such as going outdoors for walks and outside sessions, playing games, and doing exercises, including our office dog Charlotte.

Recognizing that things need to change is a good thing. It's usually the first step toward making improvements in our lives. I'm here to help you make things more manageable and to help you increase you satisfaction in life. Reaching out for help might be difficult and somewhat scary but it doesn’t have to be. My style of counseling is laid back, non-judgmental and accepting. Once we get started the initial anxiety of getting setup will ease and we can start working toward the goals that you have in mind or that I can help you find.

Hi. I’m Tinyca Bryan. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of North Carolina. More specifically, I am someone who sparks change in people’s lives. I help individuals, who desire to experience clarity and confidence in their lives, but feel like their reality is one of hopelessness. I provide supportive counseling to these individuals by exploring their history and uncovering patterns that they may not be aware of so that they can begin to move forward, gain more control of their emotions and start living the life they thought to be unattainable.
