About
Fostering a warm and welcoming environment grounded in empathy, authenticity, and acceptance is at the heart of Brianna Nimphius's therapeutic approach. As a Mental Health Counselor with a Limited Permit, Brianna specializes in guiding adults, emerging adults, and late adolescents through life's diverse challenges, including anxiety, relationship dynamics, complex trauma, depression, and interpersonal issues.
Brianna's therapeutic style is deeply rooted in her relational philosophy. She offers clients support through creative approaches such as mindfulness, meditation, somatic connection, embodiment, art, play, and journaling. This multi-faceted approach allows her to tailor therapy to each individual's unique needs and preferences, creating a truly personalized healing experience.
With a master's degree in mental health counseling from SUNY New Paltz, Brianna brings a wealth of knowledge and training to her practice. Her clinical experience includes work in a partial hospitalization program for adults with mental health challenges, where she honed her skills in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). This approach, with its focus on mindfulness, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and emotional regulation, continues to inform her work with clients.
Brianna's therapeutic toolkit is further enriched by her decade-long professional experience in yoga instruction and recreational therapy. This background allows her to incorporate holistic, body-mind approaches into her psychotherapy practice, offering clients a truly integrative healing experience.
As an ally to the LGBTQAI+, ethically non-monogamous, and social justice communities, Brianna creates a safe and inclusive space for all clients. She believes in health at every size and maintains a sex-positive approach, ensuring that all aspects of a client's identity and experiences are respected and validated in therapy.
Brianna currently offers both telehealth and in-person sessions, providing flexibility to meet clients' needs and preferences. Her love for the outdoors, yoga, acrobatics, watercolor, tea, and animals not only reflects her personal interests but also informs her holistic approach to mental health and well-being. With Brianna, clients can expect a therapeutic experience that is as unique and multifaceted as they are, grounded in empathy, creativity, and a deep commitment to personal growth and healing.
