My name is Brianna Doran! I am a mental health counselor working with children and adolescent/teens; treating eating disorders, trauma, and depression. I utilize many different modalities (play therapy, CBT-E, family based treatment, DBT, EMDR, family therapy), offering a safe and kind space for kids and teens to openly explore themselves and work through their struggles. Within the therapeutic setting, I have worked with children and teens experiencing difficult life transitions, PTSD, anxiety, depression and grief, as well as, varying eating disorders - such as, ARFID, anorexia and bulimia. I am also highly specialized in diagnostic assessment in children and teens! I pride myself on being a very compassionate and caring therapist! I've received unique/extensive training in attachment theory and family systems from the Yale Child Study Center in New Haven, CT. I take a multifaceted approach to treatment, and I am a firm believer that therapy is what your child and family need it to be! I am a strengths-based therapist and offer a fun and compassionate platform for growth!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we will start with brief introductions and I will meet with both you and your child/teen together. After introductions, I will meet with you and your child/teen individually to discuss the specific challenges that are being faced. This will help me create a tailored and collaborative plan for all of us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I pride myself on creating a safe and uplifting environment where people can feel safe discussing their struggles. I am a highly compassionate and caring individual that goes above and beyond for my clients to make sure that they are achieving their goals.
