Briona Richardson, AMFT

Hi, I’m Briona

I’m glad you’re here.

Whether you’re navigating life’s challenges or life’s blessings, imbalance can make even the good feel overwhelming. My work is centered on helping you restore clarity, stability, and confidence so you can move through life with intention and ease.

As a born Libra and former ballet dancer, balance has always guided how I see and experience the world. When you’re grounded in your authentic self, you gain the flexibility to recover from life’s challenges, make confident decisions, and create a life that feels purposeful and fulfilling. Imagine waking up each day feeling empowered to choose your direction—this sense of agency is one of the most liberating forms of balance.

In our work together, I offer a direct, compassionate, and multicultural approach in a safe and supportive space. Whether you’re seeking short-term support or deeper, long-term growth—reflecting on your past or gaining clarity for what’s ahead—I’m honored to walk alongside you on your path toward well-being.

Outside of the therapy space, I enjoy time with my family, traveling, laughter, and quiet moments of solitude.

FAQs

  • How many sessions until I see results?

    Typically, clients begin to notice meaningful changes within 3 to 5 sessions. However, the pace of progress depends on a few factors, including your level of commitment to the process. The more actively you engage with the work—both in our sessions and through reflection and practice outside of them—the more likely you are to experience positive shifts. Every individual’s journey is unique, so we'll work together to ensure that your progress aligns with your goals and needs.

  • How do I get the most of of therapy?

    The number one determining factor for best results from therapy is the client's belief in the process and in their ability to change. When you enter therapy with an open mind and a willingness to embrace growth, you're much more likely to see positive outcomes. Trusting in the process—along with active engagement and commitment—creates a strong foundation for meaningful, lasting change.
