About Brithny

​

Hello, welcome to Cognizant Psychotherapy!

​

As an Asian American therapist with LGBTQ and BIPOC identities, I bring cultural attunement,

curiosity, and lived experience to the therapy space. Before becoming a therapist, I worked

in the media and music industries—experiences that shaped my understanding of ambition,

burnout, and identity, and deepened my empathy for those navigating life transitions. My

style is warm, collaborative, and grounded in psychodynamic principles.

 

I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, self-esteem, perfectionism, ADHD, identity

exploration, and relationship challenges. Many of my clients are working professionals who feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve them and are seeking greater clarity, self-understanding, and emotional connection. My goal is to help you explore your story and move toward a more connected, authentic version of yourself.​​​​
