Hello! My name is Brianna (Brie) and I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker. Let me share a few things about me. I have a BA in Psychology from Kent State University and I received my Masters in Social Work with a Trauma-Informed Care certificate from the Mandel School at Case Western Reserve University. I am trained in Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics and Trauma and the Brain. Other training certifications I hold include Affirm and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

I began my career as a therapist in the community mental health setting, serving as an Intensive Home-Based Treatment and outpatient therapist with a focus on crisis stabilization, prevention and family systems issues. An empowerment and strengths-based approach are the basis of my collaborative therapeutic foundation. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with diverse populations providing individual and family psychotherapy to address a wide array of mental health concerns including anxiety, depression, grief, PTSD, ADHD, LGBTQIA+ issues, self-harm, sexual abuse, teen and young adult transitions and issues, and women’s issues. I believe it is an honor to be a therapist and hold space with people as they move through the messiness of life. Together in healing, you will be guided through evidence-based interventions and mindfulness practices.

As much as I love traveling and spending time in other places, Cleveland is where my heart likes to be the most. I love working and living in this city and enjoy giving back as much as I can. Outside of work, I enjoy going for walks around the neighborhood or at our fabulous metro parks with my lovely dog, Moira Rose (yes from Schitt’s Creek)! I enjoy creating and sharing recipes with my family and friends, as well as expanding my ever growing cookbook collection. Painting, Goodreads, plant parenting and kayaking are other hobbies that I have grown to love!
