Carey Briana

Creating a safe and welcoming environment is at the heart of Carey Briana's approach to mental health counseling. As a Mental Health Counselor (MHC-LP), Carey is dedicated to fostering a collaborative therapeutic process where clients feel heard, valued, and comfortable expressing themselves.

Carey's practice is built on a foundation of integrative techniques, tailoring treatment to each individual client. She skillfully combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person Centered Therapy, and Relational Therapy, all while employing a trauma-informed care approach. This versatile methodology allows her to address a wide range of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

One of Carey's key strengths lies in her ability to work with diverse age groups, from children to adults. She has a particular passion for guiding teenagers and young adults through difficult life transitions. Understanding that these pivotal moments can be both confusing and challenging, Carey focuses on empowerment, self-esteem building, and helping clients find direction in their lives.

Carey's journey into mental health counseling began with her work as a Registered Behavior Technician, where she gained valuable experience working with individuals diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. This background has informed her practice, allowing her to bring a unique perspective to her work with children and teenagers on the autism spectrum, in both group and individual settings.

At the core of Carey's practice is a strength-based approach. She believes in recognizing and developing each client's inherent strengths and skills, fostering resilience and personal growth. For Carey, everyone deserves to be heard and to tell their story, and she strives to create a therapeutic space where this can happen naturally and comfortably.

When not in session, Carey maintains a healthy work-life balance by enjoying trips to the beach, exploring new restaurants, and spending quality time with her loved ones. This commitment to self-care allows her to bring renewed energy and compassion to each client interaction, embodying the holistic approach she advocates in her practice.
