Empowered Mental Health Support for Relationships, Trauma, and the LGBTQ+ Community

Are you ready to transform your life through deep, meaningful personal growth, or are you struggling with depression, anxiety, or other mental health challenges? Maybe you’re dealing with a problematic relationship, the death of someone close, or career dissatisfaction. I guide individuals and couples toward lasting change through both virtual therapy sessions and in-person meetings in Manhattan. As a therapist I specialize in multiple areas, including self-esteem issues, LGBTQ+ identity, emotional awareness, crisis intervention, trauma, grief and bereavement, and depression.

Work through anxiety, grief, and major transitions with compassionate support

I believe deeply in your capacity for transformation and resilience. My practice focuses on supporting individuals and couples who are:

  • Ready to address self-esteem issues holding them back
  • Looking to enhance relationships and career satisfaction
  • Seeking deeper emotional awareness and understanding
  • Committed to personal growth and positive change
  • Open to exploring intimacy and authentic self-expression

Unique Perspective in
Personal Growth
Therapy

My approach to personal growth therapy is shaped by a unique blend of artistic insight and psychological expertise. From my early days at Massachusetts College of Art and Design to advanced training at NYU, I’ve developed a distinctive therapeutic style that combines creativity with clinical excellence, and sometimes a dash of humor.

Meet Brett Terrien,
NYC Therapist

Licensed in New York, Connecticut, and Massachusetts

My work in counseling psychology emerged from being an artist. While earning my BFA in photography, I was invited into my colleagues’ lives and learned to share their experiences through their lenses and perceptions.

Now I’m eager to get to know your story and meet you wherever you are on your path to healing and growth. Through secure virtual therapy sessions, I provide empowering counseling for adults across New York, Connecticut, and Massachusetts. Whether you’re seeking individual support, emotionally focused couples therapy, or guidance through life’s transitions, we’ll work together to create meaningful change in a way that feels right for you.
