Brianna Church
I am a warm, compassionate and non-judgmental therapist who believes therapy should be a safe space where you feel heard, respected and understood. I use a person centered approach, while incorporating CBT techniques to help you better understand your thoughts, emotions and behaviors. My goal is to meet you where you are and support you at your own pace.
First session
Our first session is an opportunity for me to get to know you and better understand what brings you to therapy. We'll talk about your family, relationships, friendships, social life, current challenges and the things most important to you. We'll also discuss your goals for therapy and determine the appropriate session frequency and schedule that works best for you. Most importantly, I want you to leave your first session feeling heard, comfortable, and confident that we can work together towards your goals.
Strengths
My own lived experiences as a biracial woman have taught me the importance of feeling seen, heard and understood. I also recognize that each person's identities. background, culture, relationships and life experiences shape how they experience the world. I bring warmth, compassion and openness to my sessions, creating a space where you can be your authentic self. I'll listen without judgement while helping you develop practical strategies for emotional regulation, coping, and overall well-being.
Ideal clients
My ideal clients are children, teens, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, change or relationship stress. I work well with clients who are able and willing to engage in Telehealth and who are ready to take an active role in their well-being. You don't need to have everything figured out yet. You just need a willingness to show up, explore goals, and a willingness to work toward meaningful change.
Treatment methods
Integrative
I use an integrative approach because therapy is not a one-size-fits-all. I utilize a variety of approaches including person centered and CBT while considering each clients unique needs, experiences, strengths and goals. I will actively listen and help you feel heard and understood while utilizing CBT strategies to explore thought patterns, behaviors and emotional responses. Together, we will identify what feels most helpful and adjust our approach as your needs and goals evolve.
