I believe in meeting my clients where they are at, whether seeking help for the first time or wanting a new approach. I am a warm and attuned therapist who will actively listen to fully understand each individual’s history, current stressors, and goals, to provide authentic feedback, guidance, and tools to change unhealthy behaviors. My approach is strength-based, collaborative and is shaped to meet the needs of each client. I see clients who experience anxiety, depression, stress, strains in romantic and family relationships, low self-esteem, unhealthy coping habits, and grief and loss.

I specialize in helping clients navigate through different life transitions. I help clients learn healthy coping skills and practice self-compassion to increase overall functioning.

I believe each person can grow into a better version of themselves. With my support and guidance, I can help make that happen for you. I look forward to connecting and working together!

Feeling overwhelmed but you can’t exactly put your finger on what it is? Having trouble navigating situations such as work, social life, and personal pressure?

I believe that meeting clients where they are at will be the drive in creating the change that they look to achieve. I have a unique tailored approach for each of my clients that comes in in search of a stronger sense of self.

My strengths based approach allows clients to have a deeper understanding of what they are searching for and goals they would like to achieve. I carefully consider all aspects of my clients physical and mental health to properly develop these goals, and break them down into specific, measurable actions.

I see clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship strains, low self-esteem, career related concerns, and life transitions.

Through my work with clients I seek to establish a trusting and collaborative approach in order to help navigate the challenges they are experiencing.

Brianna Martin, LMSW

I am a Licensed Master Social Worker and earned my Master's Degree at New York University School of Social Work. I have experience in Evidence Based practices working with Individuals, administering a variety of interventions to nurture the effects of the presenting diagnoses and presenting issues.

I value helping clients to maximize to their fullest potential by supporting the client in reducing and reversing maladaptive behaviors, alleviating symptoms and functional limitations associated with the diagnosed behavior, and reframing negative thoughts and perceptions.

I utilize a strengths-based approach to support my client's capacity to achieve desired and developmental milestones. I prioritize compassion, empathy, transparency and unconditional support in the therapeutic alliance. I understand that our past impacts our present, and believe that each person is able to achieve a meaningful and fulfilling life with the right tools and support.
