Brianna Marshall, LCSW, MBA
Owner & Therapist
Education: University of Southern California
Values: Empathy, Purpose, Care
We all have a Purpose and a story to tell.... I hold strongly that every person has a purpose and a story to tell. Even through lives experiences you still have purpose. There is a reason why you’re here today.
Your experiences in life are unique to you and can be tell some devastating things such as grief and loss, trauma, conflicts etc which has developed into depression, anxiety, low-esteem, amongst other things.
Your story, thus far, is what brought you to Therapy with Purpose. It’s within your story, you can discover your purpose and achieve self fulfillment.
So what’s your story?
I help Gen Zers and Millennials to manage the overwhelming anxiety and stress that the fast-paced world of today causes. Whether the ever-evolving world is making it difficult for you to navigate the challenges of anxiety, depression, parenthood, work pressures, romantic partnerships, emotional trauma, or interpersonal relationships, I am prepared to aid in rebuilding your confidence and developing a powerful toolkit for combatting mental health blocks.
As a proud Mexican woman, it’s important to me to provide a space for marginalized groups to feel understood and validated. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming and deeply passionate about supporting the queer community with compassion and empathy. I am also sex-positive and have helped many of my clients overcome barriers and concerns regarding sex and physical intimacy.
I graduated from California State University Dominguez Hills with a Master’s Degree in Marital and Family Therapy in 2016. I began seeing clients in 2014, and in the years since, I have worked in substance abuse programs, behavioral health hospitals, intensive outpatient programs, and numerous group practices. Today, I enjoy managing my own practice and seeing my clients thrive as they tackle treatment goals. I am located in Los Angeles and am exclusively offering virtual therapy at this time, making it convenient for you to meet for your sessions in the comfort of your chosen space.
I grew up in a small town in Hawaii, then came to Southern California and began studying psychology in 2001. I completed my master’s degree at Fuller School of Psychology in 2010 and served children and families at a community mental health agency for 10 years, also starting a private practice in 2015. While I loved island life, I’ve put down roots here through friendships, involvement in my community, and my love of LA’s cultural diversity.
Hey, I'm really glad you're here.
I know reaching out for therapy can feel intimidating, so my first goal is to make sure you feel comfortable and at ease. I'm not here to judge or tell you what to do — I’m here to listen, support you, and figure things out together.
My style is pretty laid-back, warm, and real. I’ll meet you where you’re at, and we'll work together to help you move toward where you want to be. I pull from a few different approaches like CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, EMDR, and somatic tools that help with nervous system regulation — but honestly, it all comes down to finding what works best for you.
Clients often tell me they feel really safe with me, like they can just be themselves without having to filter or explain everything. I love helping people reconnect with their own strength, especially those navigating ADHD, trauma, perfectionism, or the pressure of being a first-generation success story. (All things I get on a personal level too.)
If you're looking for a space where you can be yourself, talk things through, and feel supported while you make real changes, I’d love to connect.

Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Modesto
Searching for postpartum therapists in Modesto starts with finding someone whose training matches the care you want. Postpartum concerns can include more than depression, such as postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, relationship strain, pregnancy loss, or miscarriage support. As you compare therapists, look for experience in perinatal mental health, maternal mental health, reproductive mental health, or pregnancy counseling. A certification such as PMH-C can also signal specialized training in care during pregnancy and the postpartum period.
In a mid-sized city like Modesto, the right local fit may depend on both specialty and schedule. In-person postpartum counseling in Modesto, CA, may work well if you prefer an office setting, while virtual appointments can expand your options and make care easier to fit around infant care, physical recovery, and changing routines. Before booking, review each therapist’s profile for appointment availability, therapy approach, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Bios can also help you understand how a therapist talks about postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, prenatal care, and related concerns.
Therapy in Modesto can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for licensed therapists who focus on postpartum and maternal mental health, accept a wide range of insurance plans, and are accepting new patients. You can enter your insurance details, review estimated costs, compare therapist bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
