Hi! I’m Briana. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Brooklyn, NY. I work primarily with adults and young adults navigating life transitions, managing stress, and coping with anxiety and depression.
Hi, I'm Jean, an LCSW-R with over 20 years experience helping adults and couples with anxiety, relationship issues and life changes. I provide a supportive dialogue to foster healing and growth, giving you practical tools for lasting confidence and self actualization.
I earned my License in Clinical Social Work from Nazareth College and my MBA from University of Rochester. My background is in therapy, coaching, applied behavior analysis and working with organizations, teams and leaders to foster workplace cultures built on trust, engagement and well-being.
I primarily work with adults experiencing anxiety, panic, chronic stress, and major life transitions. Whether you've been feeling overwhelmed for years or recently found yourself stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, we'll work together to understand what's keeping the cycle going and build practical skills to help you move forward.
As a licensed clinical social worker with experience in university mental health, I've supported adults facing academic, career, and personal challenges. I believe therapy should be both compassionate and practical, giving you a place to feel understood while also helping you develop skills you can use in everyday life.
With sixteen years of experience in mental health and social work, I bring a warm, calm, and nurturing presence to every therapeutic relationship. My background spans a wide range of settings - from working with senior adults and neurodivergent individuals to my current role as a Clinical Program Coordinator in correction-based operations - giving me a deeply grounded, real-world perspective on resilience and healing. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a Minor in Criminal Justice from Delaware State University and a Master of Social Work from Fordham University, and I am licensed as both an LMSW and LCSW in the State of New York. I also integrate Christian counseling for clients who find meaning and support in their faith.
Hello and welcome!
I am a licensed clinical psychologist in NY who believes deeply in supporting my clients through all lifes challenges and growing pains.
Together, I strive to create a warm and inviting space of growth and opportunity to feel more peace internally.
Life can be challenging, and at times it may feel difficult to navigate the stress, uncertainty, and emotional pain that come with it. My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel seen, heard, and empowered to explore life's challenges from a new perspective.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 7 years of experience supporting adolescents, adults, couples, and individuals from diverse backgrounds. I specialize in life transitions, anxiety, depression, and interpersonal relationship concerns. I am particularly passionate about serving historically under served communities while providing culturally responsive care that honors each person's unique experiences, values, and identity.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Anxiety Therapist in Elmira, NY
Searching for therapists in Elmira starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. A therapist can help with concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for therapists whose listed specialties, training, and therapy approaches match what you want to focus on. Provider bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or couples counseling.
In a smaller city like Elmira, the number of nearby in-person therapists may be more limited than in larger New York markets. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still connecting you with a therapist licensed to provide care in New York. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand a therapist’s communication style, areas of focus, and what a first session may look like.
Therapy in Elmira can be a significant investment without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose between virtual and in-person care when available. You can compare therapists, review bios, 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.
