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.

This Hour is Yours, Entirely Yours

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

Meet Brianna, the Founder Behind On Par Therapy.

I don't just understand high-achieving women's mental health challenges; I've lived them. My transition from corporate pressure to becoming a recognized advocate for women's mental health wasn't merely a career pivot; it was answering a clear market gap. Standard therapy approaches consistently fail women in demanding careers.

What sets my practice apart:

  • INFORMED BY EXPERIENCE: I've sat where you sit now, feeling accomplished yet exhausted, successful yet searching. I tailor solutions that work for your unique reality.

  • HEARTFELT EXPERTISE: My approach blends professional knowledge with genuine compassion, creating a space where your ambition is celebrated, not pathologized, and your challenges are met with both warmth and strategic guidance.

  • TRUSTED COMPANION: When women seek support from someone who truly understands their world, they find their way to me, often sharing that it's the first time they've felt truly seen in therapy.

  • WHOLE-LIFE TRANSFORMATION: My clients don't just survive their demanding careers; they thrive in all areas of life, finding renewed energy, deeper relationships, and authentic confidence that extends far beyond the office.

Working together feels less like traditional therapy and more like having a trusted confidante who happens to have the precise tools you need to break through barriers holding you back.

When you're ready for support that sees your full brilliance and helps you shine even brighter, I'm here to walk alongside you every step of the way.
