Great to meet you!

Hello! My name is Briana Ien, LCSW and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 5 years of post graduate experience.

I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults on overcoming trauma, family conflict, anxiety, grief & loss, depression, goal-setting, and strengthening their self-esteem. For over 10 years, I have worked with individuals from various cultural backgrounds and I have a profound respect for individuals with diverse backgrounds and their experiences.

My approach to therapy

I approach therapy with clients by using a collaborative, culturally competent, and strengths-based approach. I have experience incorporating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Behavioral Therapy during sessions with clients to meet their individual needs. I am passionate about providing a safe and inclusive space that will help you heal and overcome any stressors or life transitions that life may bring.

What you can expect from me

I strive to create a warm environment that allows you to feel comfortable, vulnerable, and affirmed as we work together to overcome the challenges you may be experiencing. During our sessions, we will collaborate on establishing goals and creating a plan that will help you heal, and feel empowered.
