“Have only had our first visit so far, but she was very good at getting to the root of things, or pulling them out of me without even trying. Clearly very knowledgeable. Let me have the floor to speak, which I appreciated. She has a very welcoming energy and I feel excited about my healing journey ahead with her.”

I was very comfortable during my appointment with Briana. She was insightful and I enjoyed our session.

Briana is great! She is my new therapist for the time being.

Incredibly unprofessional to not respond to several follow up emails, and to cut the second session short (it was maybe a ten minute visit!). Meeting a therapist is difficult for a child and to ghost them is cruel. I guess we will start over with someone else if I can get my child to agree to it. Avoid this therapist!

Amazing appointment
December 18, 2025Tyron P.Verified patientVideo visit
I only had one session with her so I didn’t get to know her too well, but from 45 minutes with her I knew she wasn’t the therapist for me. She spoke with a simpler diction and often drew her words out. Maybe she did because I am a younger client, but I can’t imagine anyone over the age of 10 enjoying her voice. She gave me absentminded responses and questions, I honestly felt more validated and heard talking to my friends. I’m personally looking for a therapist that would be able to listen to my situation first fully before commenting and helping me cope, but from that experience I feel that she is not the type of therapist that could do that. I just felt more annoyed afterwards but she did give me some advice, though I think AI would be more thorough and thoughtful.

I felt like a weight was lifted from my chest. I had heavy work stress/anxiety and waited until I had a panic attack to reach out to her. I was seen within 48 hours and she was very attentive and reassuring with everything I shared. Empathy first and questions where more was divulged to get to what really bothered me and what she understood was the root of the issue. She suggested options and helpful tips going forward. Even after just this one session, I feel relief and some optimism after quite some time feeling burnt out and broken mentally.

My experience was unfortunate, I had to contact the staff several times the day of & after my first appointment; which eventually started 16mins late due to neglect on their end. I was charged for a full session & the communication between the staff remained poor. Prior to my appt, which was booked almost two weeks in advance, I never was provided an email to create my patient account. I had to request the email repeatedly until the day prior to my second session. First session was without video, had a bad connection the majority of the time. Our call disconnected a few times during the session. The therapist never followed up with instructions for our appointment prior to our initial session & they canceled our second session 5 mins prior to the scheduled time. That appt was not rescheduled nor was an offer to reschedule extended. Very disappointing experience resulting in a waste of my time, sharing my PII, my trust; as well as wasting my money & loss in confidence in the service.

I had a single appointment with this therapist but wish I had done a 15 minute consult first. I even spoke to the front desk over the phone but they did not mention the free consults before booking a full session. Nevertheless, the appointment was just alright, it was like talking to my neighbor. Someone who will ask a lot of questions to get information but has no insight or feedback. Would have been more helpful to have gotten to know this before committing to the full session. If youre looking for a therapist that has a lot of knowledge on different therapy approaches or looking for more than just talking to a friend/colleague, I would recommend going to someone else. She was nice enough, lots of "mmmm"s after I would say emotionally charged information which left me invalidated. To each their own though, this just did not work for me, hoping this review can help someone else decide if this is the right fit for them.
