Hi, I'm Avrille Birnbaum! I'm a Clinical Psychologist, practicing therapy via video for clients who are in need but might not be able to take time off weekly to come to an office. I am a believer in doing what I can to make self-care accessible and relevant for each client, and I strive to make each person feel that they are having a conversation in which they feel supported, heard, and receive tools to use in their daily lives. Most often, my clients come to me struggling with issues regarding neurodivergence, depression, social anxiety, living with bipolar disorder, chronic pain, and autoimmune disorders.

I have been working in the Mental Health field for about 15 years where I gained valuable experience working in various settings, including clinics, schools, and private practices. My approach to therapy is client-centered, meaning that I work collaboratively with my clients to identify their unique goals and needs. I believe that each person has their own journey, and my role as a therapist is to help them navigate it. I provide a safe and non-judgmental space for my clients to express themselves freely and work towards healing and growth.

My goal is to assist you in finding your own internal strengths, regain your resiliency, and find clarity in your life. Whether you are new to therapy or have experience with this type of healing, I hope I can provide a safe environment for you to grow. I am genuine and direct, as well as nurturing. Whatever your struggles, processing in therapy can offer a sense of relief and create positive change. Please give me a call to discover if I am a fit for your needs.

The stresses of life along with your own internal struggles can sometimes be overwhelming. You or your child may feel that you’ve done everything you can to work through difficult events or emotions but still find yourself struggling. Your experiences and emotions may be affecting you internally or may be affecting your relationships, work, or school activities. Whatever you’re going through, there are solutions and hope for a happier life. I believe that you or your child can discover the root of your struggles and are capable of overcoming hardships.

Parenting can be tough. You may find your mind filled with worries and self-doubt. “Am I repeating the same mistakes my parents made?” “I’m tired of the yelling, but what else am I supposed to do?” If these thoughts seem all too familiar, it may be time to get your child and yourself some support. All you want is for your child to feel confident, have good friends, and succeed in life, but this feels so far away. . In therapy, your child will learn to recognize their strengths, develop new skills, and learn ways to cope with difficult emotions.
