Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Syracuse, NY

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.

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.

Sometimes words don’t fully capture our experiences or do them justice. My journey into this work began with the discovery that art, music, movement, and other forms of creative expression can communicate the parts of ourselves that language alone cannot reach. These expressions are deeply human and can become powerful pathways to insight, healing, and connection.

I am a Brooklyn-based Licensed Creative Arts Therapist, specializing in Drama Therapy, who believes in the liberation and empowerment of marginalized communities, especially black women and women of color. I am also an artist whose art concentration lies in playwriting, fiction writing, directing, and performing. My practice is rooted in storytelling, empowerment, embodiment, and somatic awareness.

I love supporting people navigating chronic illness, disability or neurodivergence. These parts of your identity may not tell your whole story, but they have a way of showing up in almost every part of your life.

Maybe it looks like feeling exhausted before the day has even started. Or masking your way through the world, pushing past your limits until you crash when you finally get home. What about the frustration and grief of waiting months for a medical appointment only to leave feeling unheard or dismissed?

I am a CSWR with 15 years of clinical experience providing assessment and treatment to individuals, families, youth, and couples, and I have maintained a private practice since 2018.
