Briana Yort

You may have spent a lot of time trying to understand why you feel the way you do, yet somehow you still feel stuck in the same cycles. Maybe anxiety won't let up. Your emotions feel overwhelming. Trauma continues to affect you long after the experience has passed. Or obsessive thoughts and self-doubt make it difficult to fully enjoy your life. Insight is valuable, but lasting change comes from having the right support and the right tools. I'm Briana, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and I work with adolescents, young adults, adults, and older adults navigating anxiety, OCD, trauma, depression, substance use, chronic illness, panic disorders, life transitions, women's issues, and LGBTQIA+ concerns. My goal is to help you move beyond simply coping so you can feel more confident, connected, and in control of your life.

I believe therapy should help you understand yourself while also giving you practical skills you can rely on outside of our sessions. My approach is warm, collaborative, and structured, blending compassion with accountability so you feel supported while continuing to grow. Together, we'll learn healthier ways to manage overwhelming emotions, quiet anxious or obsessive thoughts, process painful experiences that continue to affect the present, strengthen relationships, and build coping strategies that fit your life. I want therapy to be a place where you not only gain insight, but begin noticing meaningful changes in how you think, feel, and respond to life's challenges.

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially if you've been carrying everything on your own. Our first session is a chance for us to get to know one another, talk about what has brought you here, and explore what you hope will be different. From there, we'll create a plan that feels personalized, realistic, and centered on your goals. Whether you're hoping to feel calmer, heal from trauma, strengthen your relationships, or simply stop feeling stuck, I'll meet you where you are and help you build the tools to create lasting change. If you're ready to take that first step, I invite you to schedule a session. I look forward to working with you.
