Briana Ransford, Psychologist
Are you someone that craves connection, yet struggles to be vulnerable in relationships? Do you struggle to trust others? Are you someone who is quick to help others with their problems at the expense of your own needs? Is it hard for you to say “no”? Do you feel like the ‘black sheep’ of your family or misunderstood by others? If you resonate with any of these questions, it may be time to start the courageous work of therapy. You deserve to feel loved, valued, understood, and heard. You deserve to sever the ties of self-doubt, anxiety, depression, and shame. You deserve to be authentically in touch with yourself as you navigate the curveballs that life throws your way. You deserve emotional freedom and healing.
Dr. Briana Ransford is a clinical psychologist offering an integrated, holistic approach to therapy treating adults, adolescents, and their families as they navigate a wide-range of life challenges. Based on the unique needs of my clients, I apply a foundation of humanistic psychology and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to all clinical work. I believe in prioritizing a compassionate and empathetic alliance with clients in order to support their development of autonomy, meaningful connections with others, and leading value-driven lives. Together, we’ll explore various patterns in your life and how they may be serving you now. We’ll probably share a few laughs along the way!
Dr. Ransford also offers specialized interventions working with anxiety-related conditions, including OCD, through exposure and response prevention therapy, and trauma-informed interventions for treating complex PTSD. Dr. Ransford utilizes aspects of several approaches to her work including Emotion-Focused Therapy, Trauma-informed CBT, DBT, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction and Motivational Interviewing. I’m honored to be a part of your healing journey!
