Bria Kates, LMHC
Mental Health
Bria began her journey in the mental health field in 2022, working primarily with adults in private practice. She utilizes evidence-based modalities like CPT, DBT, and EFIT, while also integrating creative approaches such as art into therapy. Her dedication to continuous education and tailoring treatment to each client’s unique needs underscores her passion for individualized care.
Inspired by her own mental health journey and the impactful therapists who supported her, Bria strives to empower her clients to embrace self-love, challenge themselves, and achieve meaningful growth. She finds deep fulfillment in helping clients view themselves and the world with intention and seeing them accomplish goals they once thought impossible.
Outside of work, Bria enjoys cooking, crafting, photography, and playing tennis or pickleball. She shares her life with her five-year-old German Shorthaired Pointer mix, Roger, and never says no to garlic bread or a great concert.
“Seeing clients achieve things they once believed were impossible is especially gratifying and reminds me why I’m so passionate about this field.”
