Angela Brannian LMSW

I love my job. I love watching clients have “aha” moments. I love celebrating clients' gains and watching their hard work pay off for them.
I believe in being both gentle and honest, empathetic and empowering. I draw from a variety of modalities, including motivational interviewing, existential therapy, emotion focused therapy, solution focused therapy, strengths-based therapy, ACT, and others. See my Welcome Letter if you’d like to know more about how I practice therapy.
I see individuals aged 18 and up. Common topics include depression, anxiety, trauma, personality disorders, relationship issues, life transitions, recovery from abusive relationships, grief, loss, and spirituality. I am EMDR certified.
I see couples on a short-term basis for the Symbis premarital assessment, the Prepare-Enrich marital assessment, and Discernment Counseling. Discernment Counseling is a 5-session therapy for relationships where divorce is a very real possibility. Contact me if you’d like to know more about any of these three services. They are the only services I am offering for couples at this time.
Contact me if you think we might be a good fit! I'd love to hear from you.
