Meet Briana Saavedra

Your Future Therapist

Briana is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and National Certified Counselor committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based care to individuals, couples, and families. She earned her Master of Science in Counseling and Human Systems from Florida State University and brings a strong clinical foundation paired with a warm, approachable style that helps clients feel at ease from the very first session.

As a bilingual therapist fluent in both English and Spanish, Briana works with clients across the lifespan and tailors treatment to meet each person’s unique needs, experiences, and goals. She specializes in supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. Briana is trained in EMDR through the EMDR Institute and is a Certified Trauma Professional, allowing her to integrate trauma-informed care with proven modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Interpersonal Therapy (IPT).

 

Her clinical experience spans a variety of settings, including work with high-risk populations and conducting comprehensive psychological evaluations. Briana takes an individualized, collaborative approach to therapy, drawing from multiple evidence-based practices to create a treatment plan that truly fits each client, rather than a one-size-fits-all model.

Briana believes that therapy should feel both supportive and empowering. She focuses on building a genuine connection with her clients, creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where they can explore challenges, develop insight, and build practical skills for lasting change.

Whether you’re working through a specific concern or seeking personal growth, Briana is dedicated to walking alongside you, helping you move toward greater clarity, resilience, and overall well-being.
