Therapists in Bohemia, NY

Hello! I'm Brianna, a Licensed Master Social Worker. I am an Adelphi University graduate receiving my BSW in 2018 and my MSW in 2019. I have experience working in schools, non-profits, and medical settings. I spent two years working as an in-home therapist servicing youth with severe emotional and behavioral disturbances and now currently work full-time in the field of substance use. I’ve worked with many different populations including ages ranging from adolescents to geriatrics, LGBTQ+, family caregivers, substance abuse, and victims of domestic violence & sexual assault, just to name a few.

Life can be challenging, and you don't have to figure it out on your own. Many factors shape who we are and how we feel, some of which we’re not even aware of. Therapy provides the opportunity to gain understanding of those things in a safe and supportive environment. I consider my part in your journey of self-discovery as a privilege. I understand seeking help is truly an act of courage, which I deeply appreciate and respect.

I would love to help you create the changes you are seeking and in turn find your authentic self. I am client centered and my approach is individualized to meet your personal needs and goals. I feel that therapy is not a one size fits all approach and together we can find and work on the issues that you feel are holding you back from having the life you want to be living.

“Mental health is not a destination, but a process. It's about how you drive, not where you're going" (Shpancer, Ph.D.). Each of us is on a personal journey striving to be our best selves. Sometimes, these journeys can leave us feeling unequipped to navigate their rough terrain. For most, this is the human experience. While we can't escape the realities and emotions of this experience, we can certainly learn more effective ways to cope. We can find ways to be gentler, more loving, and kinder to ourselves so that we may share this with our loved ones and our community.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist seeing clients at my private practice in Manhattan. For the past 14 years, I have worked with individuals and couples unsatisfied with their current situation and wanting more from life - more happiness, connection, and success. Though I am trained in providing long-term psychotherapy, I have adapted my techniques to maximize the results of shorter-term treatment. While many clients want the intensive experience of longer-term treatment, I recognize that this is not always possible due to the constraints of time and money.

The greatest discovery I have made in life is to embrace the unexpected, to crave the twists and turns as much as the great joys of life, and to lead with curiosity. Life can often feel scary, and we may face challenges that leave us feeling like there is nowhere to turn. If you find yourself feeling this way, you are not alone. Whether you are dealing with feelings of great sadness, anxiousness that feels uncontrollable, or struggling to move past an event in your life you have turned to the right place. Seeking therapy can lead to a greater understanding of yourself, the world around you, and the person you want to be.

Coping with life isn't always easy but can be more meaningful with someone to share your hopes and dreams with as well as your challenges and worries. Sometimes changes in moods and emotions can seem confusing and even scary in both ourselves and in others and make us question who we are and who the other person is. We are always in relationships with ourselves and with others at home, at work, in school, in our past and present. What and who do you want in your life? What brought you to where you are today and where do you want to go from here? Who do you want to be? These and other questions will be explored and entertained.

Believing in the power of genuine human connections, I'm dedicated to creating a warm and supportive environment that encourages open dialogue and full authenticity. I consider you to be the expert in your own life, and I'm here to understand your narrative, celebrate your successes, and offer steadfast support throughout the journey. I prefer taking a holistic approach to our work, exploring your connections with yourself, others, and the world.

What holds you back? Do you find yourself feeling stuck, going through the motions of your day, or feeling trapped by your thoughts? Discover the tools you need to succeed and honor your story. Your past and your future are lenses through which you can discover a more meaningful present. Healing can be challenging but you don’t have to go through it alone. I hope to work with you through stressors as you become attuned to your present needs and explore how life events and societal/familial expectations may play a role in your life.

When the body is wounded, it shows a powerful and innate ability to heal itself. Likewise, the wounded psyche has a natural inclination toward healing if conditions are right. Therapy is the container made of these essential conditions—connection, compassion, presence and, above all, safety. In it, you can access your inner intelligence to bring about growth, transformation, courage, calm, & greater balance. I approach my clients as a partner in this process, believing in your core capacities and strengths as the foundation of healing.

It is empowering to feel heard, understood and validated, to be recognized as a well-intentioned person, family member and member of your community. I view therapy as a process in which a person explores their thoughts, feelings, beliefs and relationships. In this process they find both characteristics of resilience and strength as well as unwanted or ineffective patterns that have developed over their lifetime. When guided by a well-trained, ethical and compassionate therapist what is learned can be applied to today's problems.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York State. In my work I find it useful to draw on a variety of clinical perspectives as each client brings to the process a unique set of needs, strengths, and goals.
