Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally exhausted? Maybe anxiety has you constantly overthinking, past experiences still affect your daily life, or you're navigating grief, depression, burnout, or a major life transition. Whatever brought you here, you don't have to face it alone.

Hi, I'm Brianna, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with a Doctorate in Health Science. I specialize in helping adults navigate anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, burnout, and life transitions with compassion, practical support, and evidence-based care.

I believe therapy is most effective when you feel genuinely seen, heard, and accepted. My goal is to provide a warm, judgment-free space where you can better understand yourself, build on your strengths, and develop practical tools to help you move forward with greater confidence and resilience.

Taking the first step isn't always easy, but you don't have to do it alone. I'd be honored to support you on your journey toward healing and growth.

Find the right counselor for your family

Headway makes it easier to find family-focused support — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Lexington

Finding family therapists in Lexington starts with identifying what your family is navigating and what kind of support fits those needs. Family therapy can address parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, divorce-related changes, and communication breakdowns across generations. Marriage family therapists are trained to look at patterns across the relational system, not only one person’s concerns. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose bio mentions family and marriage counseling, counseling for family problems, parent-child relationships, or experience with the specific concerns you want to work through.

In a smaller city like Lexington, the number of local in-person family therapists may be more limited than in larger Massachusetts markets. Virtual appointments can expand your options while still letting you choose a therapist licensed in your state. Family therapy may involve the full family, parents or caregivers, siblings, couples, or individual family members, depending on the goals of care. Before booking, review each therapist’s profile for scheduling options, session structure, therapeutic approach, and whether they offer a free phone consultation to talk through fit.

Family therapy in Lexington 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 find family therapists, many of whom accept insurance, are accepting new patients, and offer virtual or in-person appointments. You can compare profiles, see estimated out-of-pocket costs after entering your insurance details, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.

If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
