Description
Hey y’all! I’m Briana Childs, LMSW, CYT 300 (she/her), a Black lesbian Holistic Therapist and certified trauma-informed Reiki II Practitioner in Atlanta, GA. I am a Licensed Master Social Worker and I’ve worked in a variety of clinical settings, including clinical case management at an LGBTQ+ HIV-prevention non-profit and behavioral health therapy in the partial hospitalization/intensive outpatient setting. I have worked with clients with anxiety, depression, trauma, and more. In my social work background, I have worked as a community mobilizer, a financial coach for marginalized communities, and I currently work as BEAM's (Black Emotional & Mental Health Collective) Community Engagement Specialist for Atlanta!
As a Holistic Therapist, I am certified in the following modalities: sound healing, reiki, mindfulness and breathwork, energy healing, and yoga for mental health, all from a trauma-informed lense. As a clinical mental health therapist, I also have extensive experience with utilizing the following evidence-based treatment modalities: CBT, DBT, Behavioral Activation for Depression, and Solution-Focused Therapy. I am also certified in Black Mental Health & Healing Justice Peer Support with BEAM.
My specialities are stress relief, self-esteem, self-discovery, boundary-setting, listening to your body, and following your intuition. I am especially passionate about helping LGBTQ+ folks discover and live into their queer identities and overcome religious trauma. I am a proponent of radical rest and Black queer liberation. Holistic wellness, self-care, and social justice are the foundations of my practice.
In my free time, I love aromatherapy, skincare, yoga, reading, audiobooks, relaxing, watching SpongeBob, hanging out with my girlfriend, exploring new restaurants around the city, and baking sourdough bread!
If any of this sounds like what you need, book a session with me today! I’m excited to assist you on your mental health journey.
