"Seek and find all of the barriers within yourself."  - Rumi

About Brianne

Are you ready to journey within in order to create real and lasting change in your life? My purpose as your counselor is to help you better understand yourself in order to make the changes you desire in your life. We all have dreams, goals, desires, ideas, and ambitions but sometimes getting ourselves across that finish line is challenging. These challenges can exist for a variety of reasons such as trauma, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship conflicts, family dynamics, career dissatisfaction, and many more. 

In our work together, I combine mindfulness and spirituality with clinical counseling techniques to help explore, and better understand, all aspects of who you are as a whole. Body, mind, and spirit. I consider my work to be body-based, energy-based, reality-based, and mindfulness-based. For those looking for specific theoretical models, my work is derived from psychoanalytic, Gestalt, and humanistic theories. There is no “one-size fits all” technique and together we will find what works best for you and your needs. 

In addition to being a LAPC at Align Wellness Solutions, I am also a certified 200-hour trauma-informed yoga teacher and Reiki master. I work with adults and adolescents doing counseling, coaching, trauma-informed yoga, Reiki, and spiritual guidance through Tarot. If you feel you are ready for empowering change in your life, give me a call to learn more about how we might work together.

I currently hold compassionate space for people of all walks of life on evenings and weekends. My rate is $120 per session. I am in network with Humana. I offer a limited number of sliding scale spots to keep my services as accessible as possible. I can provide documentation for insurance reimbursement and as a LAPC my work is currently under the supervision of Melanie Storrusten, LCSW.

During this time of sheltering-in-place, Brianne is offering sliding scale rates as low as $75 to new clients who have been financially impacted by COVID-19. Your insurance company may be waiving out of network copayment fees for telehealth services at this time, which may mean you would be reimbursed a higher amount for our services.  Please contact your insurance company to inquire about your out of network benefits.

Education and Training
I am a LAPC with a Masters of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Argosy University Atlanta. I am also a registered yoga teacher at the 200-hour level with a certification in trauma-informed yoga, a Reiki Master practitioner, a certified instructor in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, completed training for Certified Anger Management Specialist, and a practitioner of tarot readings.

I am 1 of 2 recipients of an international scholarship given by Routes of Yoga for humanitarians seeking to incorporate yoga as a tool for helping others in their journey of healing. I am also 1 of 30 national recipients of a mental health fellowship given by the National Board for Certified Counselors to work with at-risk minority youth.

In addition to these accomplishments, my self-work and training is continuously ongoing. As therapists and facilitators of healing, we can only take you as deep as we have gone ourselves. By continuing to regularly do my own healing work, I am ready to help guide you on your journey wherever you are starting and wherever it will take you. 

Career History
Prior to entering the world of wellness, I was a miserable accountant facing numerous physical, emotional, and spiritual problems. My healing journey led me to my current field where I have worked with severe mental illness in hospital settings, volunteered as a crisis counselor, led mindfulness-based trauma process groups with children and adolescents in the foster care system and in the school systems, and written and interpreted psychological evaluations for children and adolescents for Atlanta area psychologists.

Therapeutic Modalities
In addition to using yoga, Reiki, breathwork, and mindfulness, I integrate humanistic (Gestalt and Person-Centered) and psychoanalytic (Carl Jung) concepts when using therapeutic techniques in a session.
