Therapists in Fishkill, NY

Hi, I am Briana Kreamer, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 4 years of clinical experience. I am comfortable meeting with all types of clients, focusing on depression, anxiety, life stressors, life transitions, and interpersonal concerns. I have worked with various clients with diagnoses, most frequently depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and substance misuse. I pull from different types of therapy that include Cognitive Behavioral, SFBT, Narrative, Motivational Interviewing, and Strength-Based. I believe in approaching each client openly and with empathy to help find the best way to help the client meet their goals.

Hello. I use a direct, yet supportive approach to focus on improving life skills and releasing negative beliefs and behaviors. Experience has shown that by changing unhealthy patterns, expressing fears, and taking gentle risks, it is possible to live a more satisfying life regardless of past traumas and other issues. With a combination of techniques, we will work together on both short and long term goals. I am an interactive therapist and encourage intensive work both in and out of the office. I have a home office and use video sessions as needed to help with time constraints/distance. I have two small sweet dogs.

My goal as your therapist is to ensure an authentic connection is made, where we can fully explore & address the barriers to your personal success- whatever that looks like to you! I partner with my clients & seek to customize my approach based upon the issues/concerns being presented.

Let's face it, families struggle & face challenges but there are times you feel your children & challenges are beyond what most would consider normal. You hear others talk about their experiences with their children & you know that it's never been like that for you. The issues they are having at school, with peers & at home are impacting your mental clarity, relationships & lust for life. You don't know who to ask for help; nor who to trust. It leaves you feeling angry, scared, resentful, & ultimately alone. You don't know if therapy can help, but you're willing to do whatever it takes.

A seasoned Licensed Clinical Psychotherapist, I obtained my Master's in Clinical Social Work from the prestigious Fordham University's Advanced Standing Program, specializing in therapy for couples, individuals, and young people. I further honed my expertise with a postgraduate degree from the Albert Ellis Institute.
