Therapists in Cold Spring, NY

Hello and welcome to my practice. Asking for help is not easy, so I am so glad you are here! Therapists are not a one size fits all and finding the right fit for you, your family, and/or your child is so important for therapy to be successful. My approach with clients is always collaborative, genuine and warm, and I use both empathy and humor. I am client-centered, strengths based, and solutions focused. I utilize multiple therapeutic modalities to correspond with the needs of each individual client, meeting them where they are at.

Hello! My approach to every client is that you are your own researcher and research participant. I give you the tools to collect data on yourself. Together we analyze your trends and patterns of undesired behaviors and see where we can shift/eliminate those behaviors into positive change. We create SMART goals an apply through tangible therapeutic work in between sessions. My goal is for you to flourish and nourish your mind, body and soul into your ideal self.

At a very young age I struggled to find someone I could relate to. I wanted to find someone that I could speak to freely and without judgement. I never found that as a young adult. As an adult I saw the need in my own community for mental health and family dynamics. All I have ever wanted to do and dedicated my entire life to is mental health wellbeing and understanding we all have the resources and the will power to overcome adversities.

I am a Certified Anger Management Specialist that builds healthy relationships with my clients. I take pride in learning about my clients so I can be effective by creating an intervention plan specifically for each client based on their needs. I empower my clients by utilizing coaching and different positive techniques from Cognitive Behavior Therapy. I provide services through 4 or more sessions and I am available via phone or text after hours for support if needed in between sessions.

What's the bottom line in therapy? To help a client to take control of his or her own life. As an advanced level, PhD clinical social worker, (Columbia University), I apply only evidence-based techniques known to help clients learn how to live more satisfying lives, at work, school or at home. Widely trained in cognitive behavioral therapy, I work in the most direct way to evaluate how they interact with others, and to identify where and how changes could be made, and where support is available. Additional training allows me to integrate the visual arts to enhance self awareness and problem solving where appropriate.

Great to meet you! My name is Briana! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, with over 13 years' experience working with adult individuals, couples, and groups.

I applaud you for your courage in exploring therapy.

I also like to integrate the Psychodynamic perspective, exploring how our early experiences affect the now, and a Solution-Focused modality to help clients problem solve. Ultimately, I create a safe, non-judgmental, and trusting environment. Just be.

I'm a therapist, not a Fairy Godmother who grants wishes, but we can definitely talk about how YOU can make your own dreams come true. It's time to focus on your needs and make room for change so that you can become more familiar with your badass self. You have the ability to take control of how you view and react to life.

Destigmatizing mental health is one of the biggest challenges we face in todays society. Many individuals are reluctant to seek treatment due to fear of how they may be perceived by their family, friends, and/or any person that plays a significant role in their life. Negative thinking and negative emotions combined with daily stressors is almost certain to lead you down an unhealthy path.

I am now doing teleconferencing with my clients due to these stressing times, it is important to be able to reach out and talk with someone. I specialize in behavioral problems within the family system and with children, as well as adults that suffer from anxiety, depression, ASD, oppositional defiant tendencies, social skills deficits and more. I am a consultant at Eating Disorder Treatment Collaborative/FEED and treat women, men and families who suffer from these types of disorders. My practiced is based on cognitive and behavioral therapies.

I work with adolescents who suffer from depression, and anxiety. I also work with children who are school avoidant. I work with young people who need help with coping skills as well as adults. I do family work as well as individual therapy.

My style is collaborative and compassionate; My clients tell me that I am comfortable to be with, and easy to talk to. I work with children and adults to help them prioritize their values, identify and integrate feelings/emotions, support positive self-concept, reduce stress and worry, and work towards the client's personal, academic, relationship, wellbeing, and social-emotional goals. My work is eclectic and grounded in theory - including, Humanistic (“Whole Child’, "Whole Self"), and Psycho-dynamic (with attention to the interpersonal relationship of client and therapist as a model for meaning-making and self-reflection.).
