THERAPIST

Hi there, my name is Briana McCarthy. My heart’s work is to help people recognize their gifts and talents. There are times in life when those gifts and strengths can become clouded by challenges and adversities. My hope is for people of all ages and experiences to process, heal, and attain their personal and therapeutic goals in a safe, warm, and welcoming space. I whole-heartedly believe that the right therapeutic process and atmosphere can help people recognize their unique gifts and strengths to help them overcome life’s challenges, as well as develop personal insight, communication skills and an inner-peace that persists despite circumstance. I love working with people in supporting them develop coping skills that enhance their ability to attain their personal goals.

I have experience working with adults and youth experiencing: anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges. I have held previous therapeutic positions working with children in schools and working 1:1 and in groups with children and adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder. As a Christian I love to offer support to other Christians who are seeking to incorporate their faith in therapy. I take a multidisciplinary approach to therapy, such as incorporating practices from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Narrative Therapy. Life is full of transitions whether younger or older and they can be stressful to manage and understand. I find it a personal calling to sit with people in those harder, stuck moments. It would be a privilege to sit and collaborate with you on your therapeutic journey.

When I am not doing therapy I enjoy going to the movies with my husband and going on walks with our dog Bubba. I am a lover of artistic expressions and enjoy going to art exhibits and musical concerts.
