Now Accepting New Clients: Having difficulty finding a therapist of color who understands your experience? I understand your struggle. As an African American male, I too had trouble finding a therapist of my own. Being a person of color in our society comes with its own unique experience, along with the everyday struggles and challenges we all face. It’s difficult and frustrating to have to explain this unique experience to someone before you can even address your reason for being there. But you continue searching because you know you need someone who understands your experience and can help you with life’s struggles.

As a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, I’ve worked with folx from diverse backgrounds in various states of crisis, grief, health, and growth while navigating oppressive systems that often require folx to show up in certain ways to get what they need. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe to show up wholly and fully as yourself – where you don’t feel the need to hide parts of your identity out of fear of not being accepted as you are. In working together, my hope is that I can help you to define and own your story.

Healing means growing our capacity to give and receive love. Therapy can help with unblocking the channels so that love can flow more freely. When you commit to your own healing work, it can have powerful ripple effects in your family and community. It can interrupt cycles of interpersonal and systemic violence, and soften the way for future generations. It can also grow your capacity to work toward systemic change. Racism, transphobia, ableism, and other forms of oppression take a toll on our minds, bodies, and spirits. By reconnecting to self-love in the face of oppression, you can become a more powerful agent of transformation.

I work with clients who experience depression, anxiety, stress, and post-traumatic stress. It can be very difficult to untangle thoughts and feelings alone, as well as identifying goals for healing and following through with a wellness plan. In building a strong therapeutic relationship, you do not need to go through this process alone. In fact, research shows that voicing and sharing this process with a professional increases ease and effectiveness.

CURRENTLY FULL The goals of therapy are directed toward providing a positive and collaborative forum to ease presenting difficulties; and draw on the individual's strengths and resilience to enable greater contentment and satisfaction in life. The foundation from which I view issues is from a systems approach. Thus, my focus is on the relational context that each individual resides within. Additionally, I borrow ideas from Attachment , Emotionally Focused, Cognitive-Behavioral, and EMDR constructs when tailoring goals developed for each person's unique needs.

How often do you feel disconnected from yourself: from your body, your wisdom, your light? We are quick to disconnect when we feel overwhelmed, when we've lost our sense of safety, and when we aren't listening to or honoring our needs. When we're disconnected, we're not fully present and it can feel like life is passing us by. Joy, contentment, and wonder might seem like only a distant mirage--but I believe that becoming more aligned in ourselves is always possible. It's an important part of finding meaningful connection with others, realizing our purpose, and trusting ourselves so we can move through life with more ease.

Hi, I'm Bryanna. I'm glad you're here. Deciding to commit to doing your work isn’t easy. Vital to the work we’ll do, is incorporating how cultural and social structures impact your mental health, alongside your family of origin story that influence how you show up today. As relentless as the systems are around us, it is critical that we are equally as relentless in the ways we love and invest in ourselves.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the United States, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist, psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
