Hello, and welcome! Taking the first step toward prioritizing your mental health is an important act of self-care and self-advocacy. I encourage you to give yourself grace and understand that you do not have to navigate life’s challenges alone. Counseling is creating a safe space to better understand who you are, discover who you want to become, and develop the confidence and skills to live as your most authentic self. Together, we will explore the experiences that have shaped you, identify patterns that may no longer serve you, recognize your strengths, and work toward becoming the person you want to be. My name is Brianna, and I am a pre-licensed counselor at Living Well Community Counseling Center, PLLC. I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Governors State University in 2026. My counseling approach is primarily person-centered, while incorporating interventions from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Reality Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. I also incorporate creative arts to help clients explore their emotions, experiences, values, strengths, and identities in ways that feel meaningful and authentic. I work with children, adolescents, and adults experiencing concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, career concerns, identity development, and personal growth. As I continue growing as a counselor, I want to reduce the stigma surrounding mental health and help clients prioritize their well-being.
