Marinna Bryant
I support women navigating postpartum anxiety and depression, pregnancy stress, reproductive loss, grief, trauma, and life transitions. I provide a warm, nonjudgmental space to process experiences, build coping skills, regain balance, and reconnect with themselves through CBT, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care tailored to their individual needs, values, and personal goals.
First session
In your first session, you can expect a welcoming, judgment-free space to share what brought you to therapy and what you hope to work toward. We’ll talk about your current concerns, relevant background, and what support may be most helpful. You don’t need to have everything figured out or know exactly what to say. My goal is for you to leave with a clearer understanding of where we can begin and a sense that we can work through it together, at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
Strengths
I bring warmth, empathy, and genuine curiosity into my sessions. I take time to understand the person behind the symptoms and create a space where clients can be honest without fear of judgment. My approach is person-centered and trauma-informed, while also incorporating practical tools from CBT and mindfulness to help clients understand themselves and navigate meaningful change.
Ideal clients
My ideal client is a woman who feels overwhelmed or disconnected from herself and knows something needs to change. Maybe you're adjusting to life with a new baby, grieving a loss, or carrying anxiety you can't quite explain. You don't need a plan to begin. We'll figure out together what kind of support fits you best, whether that's practical strategies, space to process, or both.
Origin story
My passion for supporting women began at age two, when I witnessed my mother give birth to my younger sister and declared I wanted to be a “baby doctor.” As I grew older, my understanding of pregnancy, loss, trauma, and motherhood evolved, leading me to counseling and perinatal mental health. Today, I’m honored to support women through life’s most meaningful and challenging experiences.
Ongoing work together
Our work together will be collaborative and shaped around your individual needs, goals, and pace. Depending on what you are navigating, we may spend time processing experiences, identifying patterns, building coping skills, challenging unhelpful thoughts, practicing mindfulness, and developing healthier ways to respond to stress. Progress may look different for everyone, but you may notice greater self-awareness, increased confidence, improved coping, healthier boundaries, or feeling more able to manage challenges without becoming overwhelmed. We’ll regularly check in about what is helping and adjust our work as you grow.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT to help you notice how your thoughts, emotions, and actions connect, and we practice small, realistic skills you can use between sessions.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
I use a person-centered approach to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and accepted while exploring your strengths, values, and goals at your own pace.
Narrative
I use Narrative Therapy to help you explore the stories you tell about yourself, understand how past experiences have shaped them, and reframe unhelpful patterns while reconnecting with your strengths, values, and preferred future.
