I have had the pleasure of practicing psychotherapy for more than 15 years helping adolescent and adults in both individual and family therapy. As a minority LBGTQ+ identified therapist, you and I will utilize Cognitive Behavior to explore and examine your thoughts, feelings and behaviors towards more rationally conscious and healthy patterns

As a license marriage and family therapist, I have spent over 10 years working in with individuals, couples, and families to better understand themselves and the people around them. My clinical training in Los Angeles and New York was specialized in LGBT Affirmative Psychotherapy.

I am a therapist that learns from her clients, everyone is different and learning & understanding the person as a whole allows me to build better rapport with my clients, which leads to a better therapeutic relationship and outcome. I take pride in being Latina and fluent in Spanish because I connect with the Latinx community. Soy una terapeuta que aprende de sus clientes, lo que conduce a una mejor relación y resultado terapéutico.

Hi! I’m Briana. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Brooklyn, NY. I work primarily with adults and young adults navigating life transitions, managing stress, and coping with anxiety and depression.

I’m a licensed clinical social worker with over 10 years of experience in helping adolescents and adults navigate anxiety, depression, PTSD, relationship dynamics, and life’s daily stressors. I graduated from John Jay College of Criminal Justice with a degree in Forensic Psychology and earned my Master’s in Social Work from Fordham University. I’m passionate about empowering individuals to reach their full potential. As someone who comes from the community I serve, I understand the unique challenges we face and am dedicated to creating a safe, supportive space where healing and growth can happen.

My goal is to help clients uncover their true potential and lead lives worth celebrating. I earned my undergraduate degree in psychology at Elon University and my master's degree in clinical social work at New York University. Additional clinical and training experiences include Mount Sinai Medical Center, Metro Behavioral Health Eating Disorder Centers, and Ackerman Institute for the Family.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist who is skilled at working with clients from diverse backgrounds. I view psychotherapy as a collaborative process. I believe in providing a warm and nonjudgmental environment for my clients so that they can feel safe and supported in exploring their issues.

I believe that therapy can be a place to be known and understood. My focus is on folks who are looking for support to manage anxiety, depression, life transitions, intergenerational family challenges, and relationships. I work with creatives, people who find themselves in caretaker roles at work or in their relationships who would like to improve their experiences, and people interested in changing self-defeating patterns.

If you are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stuck in patterns of trauma, or exhausted by PTSD, healing is within reach. I am a compassionate psychiatrist whose practice is informed by a social-work lens. This means I look at the big picture—how social, environmental, and biological factors impact your mental health. My goal is to guide you from a place of survival to thriving. I provide careful diagnostic assessments and tailored treatment plans that respect your preferences, helping you safely process the past and reclaim control over your future wellbeing.

As your mental health provider here's what I want you to know about me:

• I listen first
• I believe in collaboration
• I treat the whole person
• Medication is a tool, not a requirement.
• There is no shame in seeking help.
• Progress is possible.

Welcome. If you’ve come this far, I imagine you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, and frustrated - that life lacks in the meaning, vitality, and belonging that you would desire for yourself. Sometimes, despite our best efforts to overcome our problems, we can feel lost and demoralized. Should this resonate with your experience, allow me to share about my practice and how I might help. I am a clinical psychologist with a broad range of expertise and specialize in trauma, loss, and related problems of identity, relationships, and meaning.

Welcome and thank you for taking the time to learn more about me. As a licensed therapist practicing in both California and New York, I believe deeply in the inherent resilience and transformative potential within every individual. I earned my Master’s Degree in Mental Health Counseling from Teachers College, Columbia University. Throughout my clinical practice, I have supported clients across all life stages in navigating complex emotional challenges, including trauma, anxiety, and depression, while empowering them to cultivate healthy, fulfilling interpersonal relationships.
