Peel Back the Layers. Come Home to Yourself. Connect with Others from a Place of Wholeness.

Trauma-Centered Psychotherapy by Briana Shea, MS, LPC

& good to be seen.

It’s good to see you

Hello, my name is Briana Shea (she/ella). I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who specializes in trauma and relationships.

I work with people ages 12 and up to heal from old harms, work through stuck places, break generational cycles of hurt, and create healthier, more fulfilling relationships with themselves and others. I am curious about how past wounds and expectations from family, culture, and society have shaped how you see yourself in the world, how you feel in the day-to-day, and how you show up in your relationships. I’d like to help you:

  • Silence echoes of the past

  • Cultivate secure and loving relationships

  • Step out of anxiety, depression, and stuck-ness

  • Step into self-love

  • Break cycles of generational hurt

  • Parent from intention, not inherited pain

  • Peel away masks of perfection

  • Remove “responsibility” hero capes

  • Reauthor stories of shame and blame

  • Reclaim cultural identity

  • Grapple with oppressive systems

  • Take up space

Nested within you

unstacking, unpacking, and cracking open

each layer of you.

As a trauma-centered psychotherapist, I help people untangle the quiet ways trauma lives in the body using an integrative approach that draws from a range of therapeutic modalities. Rooted in attachment-based, psychodynamic, and somatic practices, I work with both the mind and body to help clients deepen self-awareness as they move through the charge of trapped emotions. These old wounds are often the source of anxiety, depression, procrastination, reactivity, repeated heartbreak, inner-critics, and so much more.

If any of these experiences resonate with you, there are likely old wounds still at work. Though it may not seem like it, this is good news; it indicates that there's a deep part of you with a strong desire to heal. This part of you knows that through healing, you will be able to show up just as you would like to, as your true self.

  • For tender hearts still shouldering what was never theirs to carry—

    this is a space to lay it down, be held, and be healed.

  • For Latine hearts holding generational stories of resilience and pain—

    this is a space to soften, remember, and find your voice in the story you were always meant to tell.

  • For parent hearts carrying more than their own stories—

    this is a space to heal what was handed down, and raise children from a place of intention, not inherited pain.

  • For reluctant hearts longing for real connection—

    this is a space to unlearn old patterns, tend to what still aches, and open to secure love without losing yourself.
