LICENSED NYC MENTAL HEALTH THERAPIST (LMHC) SPECIALIZING IN ANXIETY THERAPY & PERFECTIONISM

You Know Your Worth.
Your Therapy Should Too.

Behind closed doors, success often feels different than it looks from the outside.

The unspoken reality of high achievement: balancing exceptional performance with internal doubts that few would understand.

At On Par Therapy, we've worked with women across finance, law, and technology who present flawlessly to the world while privately questioning their decisions, capabilities, and path forward.

Our approach is different because we understand both worlds: the visible achievements and the invisible costs. We create a confidential space where you can examine the patterns that both drive your success and challenge your wellbeing.

The result? Authentic confidence that doesn't depend on external validation, strategic approaches to managing pressure, and the ability to succeed without sacrificing yourself in the process.

Your search for the best therapist in New York ends here.

You've tried the standard approaches: wellness apps, self-help books, maybe even therapy that felt disconnected from your reality.

At On Par Therapy, we specialize in the unique challenges ambitious women face in demanding careers. Our approach bridges the gap between traditional therapy and executive coaching, addressing both personal fulfillment and professional excellence.

Whether you're navigating perfectionism, burnout, or the isolation of being 'the only one' in the room, you deserve support that comprehends the complexity of your world without diminishing your drive.

LMHC Clinical Director
Founder

Meet Brianna, the Founder Behind On Par Therapy.

She gets it because she's experienced it firsthand. The late-night self-doubt despite your incredible achievements. The exhaustion of maintaining a perfect image. The weight of being a leader while staying true to yourself.

As the founder of On Par Therapy, Brianna brings more than clinical expertise – she brings a profound understanding of what it means to be an ambitious woman in today's professional landscape. Her approach has earned recognition from Forbes, Vogue, and Business Insider because it addresses what others miss: the unique pressures, unspoken rules, and complex dynamics that ambitious women navigate daily.

Working with high-achieving women across tech, finance, and leadership roles, Brianna has developed an approach that goes beyond traditional therapy. She creates a space where your ambition is celebrated, not pathologized. Where your challenges are met with both empathy and strategic insight. Where you can explore what's next without judgment.

Because you deserve support that matches your standards.
