Nice to meet you! My name is Brianna Dawkins. I am a Licensed Clinical Therapist. I graduated from Fordham university in 2020, receiving my Master of Social Work. I have over 4 years of experience in private practice. Whether you are navigating a major life transition, managing anxiety, or looking to break free from old habits, my goal is to empower you to become the expert on your own healing. Together, we will turn your personal insights into lasting, tangible change.
I believe that meaningful therapy begins with meeting you exactly where you are, without judgment or pressure. My practice integrates Motivational Interviewing (MI) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)—a powerful combination that balances deep, compassionate listening with practical, goal-oriented strategies.
We start by exploring your unique values, strengths, and goals. Using MI, I provide a warm, non-judgmental space to help you process any hesitation or ambivalence you might feel about change, tapping into your own internal motivation to guide our path forward. Once you feel clear and ready, we transition into active, practical problem-solving using CBT. Together, we will examine the automatic thought patterns and behaviors that keep you feeling stuck. You will walk away with concrete, actionable coping skills to manage triggers, reframe unhelpful thinking, and handle life's challenges with confidence.
