Getting to know Bryna Pauker

Hi there, I'm Bryna! Hi! My name is Bryna Pauker, LCSW, license number 126386. I have been a therapist for over 25 years, and I love what I do. I am personable and approach each client with respect and empathy. I work with PTSD, depression, ADHD, trauma, and issues of self-worth and esteem. My approach I don't have one specific theoretical approach because each person has different issues. I am a generalist practitioner and sometimes use behavior modification. I try to meet clients where they are and support them through this journey. My focus I have had varied experiences over my career. I am comfortable with trauma work including sexual and physical abuse, PTSD, anxiety, depression, ADHD, couples counseling, sexuality and sex addiction, military issues, and some eating disorders. My communication style I try to put clients at ease. Deciding to come to therapy can be brave and anxiety-provoking. I ensure every client feels safe and confident we can work together, and I encourage them to change therapists if they don't feel that way. I respect their thoughts and feelings and use humor to build rapport. I am present, not distracted, and clear about my expectations. My journey to mental healthcare I went back to school when my children were young. I attended Southern Connecticut State University for my bachelor's and earned my Master's in Social Work from Fordham University-all while managing a husband, two children, a full-time job, an internship, and weekend classes. I am goal-driven and make it work. I love helping clients feel safe, confident, and worthy. It makes me grateful to know I'm helping others and making a difference. My goals for you At the beginning of our work, we discuss goals and objectives. At the start of every session, I ask what the client would like to work on today.
