Brittney Barat, LCSW- Child, Adolescent & Adult Therapist
I believe in bringing my whole personality into therapy- combining
warmth, humor and compassion with professional knowledge and skill. I
would be honored to actively help you or your child overcome any
barriers to optimal wellbeing and psychological health.
I couldn't be happier to be a part of Park Avenue
Psychotherapy Associates! When I came to Park Avenue Psychotherapy
Associates, I was thrilled to realize that this was a place which
encouraged real human connection, and integration of many styles and techniques.
No one I see is just "a case" or just another person to
service. I am given full support to work with each client in their own way, and
to recommend any services- here or outside the office- that may be of
benefit.
Having worked in other settings previously, I
can really appreciate Park Avenue's approach... and it is one that I am uber
proud to be associated with!
Working as a school counselor by day, I have a special affinity for
children and adolescents. My school work has given me an up close view of the factors that can
get in the way of healthy emotional regulation, as well as school and social
success.
If your child is currently struggling, I would love
to help you help them! Whether it is anxiety, depression, social rejection,
academic challenges, ADHD or family difficulties that are interfering with
your child's daily life, I can help by providing a safe place to work things
through, learn coping skills, make a game plan- and climb out of the rabbit
hole...
Of course I also enjoy working with fellow adults navigating life's
challenges. I look towards building upon strengths, and setting realistic goals
that we can collaborate on. I take my cues from you- the client- and create a
plan of action that facilitates real improvement and personal growth.
My
previous work experience in a variety of settings allows me to pull upon
multiple approaches to tailor our work to your personality style and preferences. I especially enjoy practicing anxiety management tools (they relax me
too!), teaching strategies for mood regulation, strategizing for better
handling social situations, and working on communication skills to improve
relationships of all types.
Like all Park Avenue
therapists, I can easily coordinate neurofeedback and other complimentary
modalities as well...
Let me help you be your best..... It is my pleasure to be of
service...
