Getting to know Anntoinette Briley
Hi there, I'm Anntoinette!
My name is Anntoinette Briley, and I am an independent contractor in Mental Health as a licensed professional counselor. I hold a Master's degree in Counseling and Psychology from Troy University and a Bachelor's degree from Georgia Southwestern State University. I have over 20 years of experience in the counseling profession. Throughout my career, I have built a sizeable background working as a solo practitioner in my private practice, an inpatient group home facility for adolescents, an inpatient psychiatric hospital stabilization unit for males, an outpatient substance abuse program, an agency for foster children, and a nursing home facility/hospital collaboration as a program director.
I identify with various counseling approaches depending on your specific needs during our sessions. These include (1) building rapport and trust with you, (2) displaying empathy-I strive to create a safe, healthy environment for you to process without judgment, and (3) maintaining openness and honesty, to name a few.
My approach
I tailor my counseling approaches based on your needs. These include: (1) psychodynamic therapy-exploring how your past experiences affect current challenges; (2) client-centered therapy-supporting your self-discovery with empathy, nonjudgment, and a nondirective stance; (3) cognitive-behavioral therapy-helping you become aware of how your thoughts and behaviors influence your outcomes; and (4) reality therapy-focusing on the present moment, assisting you in identifying personal responsibility and taking control of your life while remaining positive and nonjudgmental.
My primary counseling modality is individual therapy-one-on-one sessions. However, I also enjoy using Gestalt therapy because it centers on increasing your awareness, freedom, and self-direction while engaging you to focus on the present moment rather than past experiences.

My experience with Ms. Anntoinette has been wonderful so far. After a couple of sessions, I knew she was the perfect person to help me with my healing journey. She had a way of making me feel seen, heard and understood so quickly and seemingly effortlessly. I love that I always leave our sessions feeling lighter and having something helpful to implement. No matter what I say, I never feel judged. I can always speak openly and honestly about anything. Ms. Anntoinette is amazing.

Dr. Briley is the BEST!! My daughter and I have had the best experience with her over the many years that we have been going to see her. My daughter has developed a great bond with Dr. Briley, unlike any other. There is just something comforting about being in her presence. She is very professional, yet so personable with us. When my daughter is going through something new or stressful, the only person she wants to talk to is Dr. Briley.
She absolutely Loves her!!

Ms. Anntoinette really helped me to focus more on myself and making decisions that best fit me and my son rather than those around me. She gave me the confidence I needed to set healthy boundaries.

Anntoinette made me feel safe. She provided an environment where I could take a hard look at what I wanted from life and make a plan to get there. She reminded me of my worth, and encouraged me to heal. Without her guidance I would still be stuck in a very dark place. I am forever grateful for her.

She is the most caring, hands on therapist I have ever seen. She genuinely wants to help her clients and has helped me tremendously over the years. The minute I met her she was welcoming not only with her words and her mannerisms, but also with her environment. Her presence alone is enough to bring calmness and openness to conversations that are often hard to begin. She is intuitive not only due to her hard work, dedication, and education, but from her nature in itself. Her purpose is to help people and she goes above and beyond by simply being herself. The progress she brings to people is immeasurable, she is so much more than what people expect a therapist to be. I could not be more pleased with her work and how she operates. She allows people not only to see themselves as they truly are, but she shows by example and through her own experiences. Nothing feels better than knowing someone understands you when you don’t fully understand yourself. Anntoinette does that for her clients. She is an amazing therapist, and more than that, an amazing person all around.

My mom suggested me to go see a therapist and my initial thought was, that I was not going to like it and I didn’t want anyone else in my buisness. After having a couple sessions with Ms. Briley I’ve loved it. She is very comforting and helps me see myself for who I am and in many different perspectives. I can say that she is very helpful when it comes to the tips she suggest and very good at what she does.

Anntoinette has always made me feel absolutely comfortable when I would open up about the things going on in my life. I never felt judged, I never felt looked down on, and I never felt like the words I spoke in her office would be told to another soul. She is singlehandedly one of the biggest reasons I am as stable and healed as I am today. She’s a huge part of the person I am. She’s taught me so much, and helped me learn the skills to continue being the person I thought I would never get back. I recommend Anntoinette to anybody in need of therapy.
