Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Amherst, MA

You don’t have to keep carrying the weight of everything you’ve been through alone. Sometimes the hardest step is reaching out—and that’s where healing can begin.

Hi, I’m Brianna. I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with a Doctorate in Health Science. I’m passionate about helping individuals navigate trauma, anxiety, grief, depression, and major life transitions with compassion, understanding, and practical support.

I believe therapy works best when you feel genuinely seen, heard, and accepted. I strive to create a warm, judgment-free space where you can be your authentic self, explore your experiences, and develop tools to help you feel more grounded and empowered.

My approach focuses on recognizing your strengths, understanding the experiences that have shaped you, and building strategies that support healing and growth. Whether you’re working through painful experiences, overwhelming emotions, or a major transition, therapy can be a place where you don’t have to face it alone.

I offer Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy to individuals seeking a deeper understanding of self. I help people build skills to overcome anxiety, depression and emotional overwhelm. I offer training in mindfulness, which emphasizes the importance of presence and curiosity in the healing process.

I have deep empathy and insight into exploring life’s deepest questions. Clients gain confidence and a sense of improved well-being by coming to understand themselves in a comfortable therapeutic setting. I work with diverse populations and clients beginning at young adulthood.

I am a Latinx provider with a special interest in trauma and stressor related disorders. I have 10 years of experience in outpatient and residential settings. I have worked with children, adolescents, adults and their families.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with 2 years of advance psychiatric practice and a total of 15 years of experience in healthcare. I specialize in evidence-based care for adults living with anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress, and life transitions, combining thoughtful medication management with practical strategies that help clients build a deeper understanding of their mental health.

In addition to my clinical practice, I am an author and whole-body wellness advocate. My book, BePurBold: A Woman's Journey to Whole Body Wellness, reflects my belief that lasting mental health is rooted in lifestyle, resilience, and whole-person well-being. My goal is to offer a supportive, non-judgmental environment where clients feel heard, valued, and active partners in their own care.

I have been in the field of Social Work for over 25 years. Over these years I have had the pleasure of working with adults and older adults dealing with everything from life transitions, depression, anxiety, and alcohol abuse to major mental illness and end of life issues. I enjoy using my educational and personal life experience to inform my practice.

I specialize in perinatal care and women's health issues. I am dedicated to helping women face the challenges related to infertility, loss, and the postpartum period. I also specialize in nutrition and how that is closely related to mental health. With my unique holistic approach we can reduce negative though patterns and increase positive relationship internally and externally.
