MEET BRIANNA!
Brianna Knox, LCSW, EMDR Therapist
Owner of Renewed Resilience, PLLC
Welcome !
So, you’ve finally decided to start your search for a therapist! I’m so proud of you for taking charge of your life in this way.
Let me guess. You have found yourself here because:
Your relationships suck.
You say yes to everyone and everything even though you’re overbooked and burnt out.
You have no idea who you are or what you want out of life.
Life is just too overwhelming and people are just too disappointing.
Breathe...
I got you.
I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker, a black woman and a proud member of the LGBTQ+ family. I have been on both sides of the therapy space; so, I understand how scary it can be to ask for help and how important it is to have a therapist you can relate to.
I believe that real healing comes when you enter spaces that validate who you are. When you log on with me, come as you are. I’m expressive, interactive, and laid-back. Get used to this new normal because it is my mission to teach you how to create more validating spaces and relationships for yourself outside of our therapeutic environment!
My Experience
I am a trauma and EMDR therapist with a passion for empowering marginalized people to take control of their minds and bodies following the disruption of trauma. Through an approach of warmth and relatability, I guide my clients out of the chains of the past and into the lives, relationships, and goals they once felt were outside of their reach.
I began working with trauma survivors in 2014 as a crisis counselor for a Suicide Hotline. My passion for trauma work began there, however, I have learned the most from my work as an Intensive In-Home therapist with at-risk youth and their families. From this experience, I learned about how deeply rooted trauma can impact one’s mind, body, and relationships.
I currently treat trauma related disorders (anxiety, depression, panic disorder, dissociative disorders, etc) with traditional talk therapy. I offer EMDR therapy for those with severe trauma related disorders and those seeking faster relief from limiting mental health symptoms.
My Credentials
I received a Bachelor of Psychology and a Master of Social Work from East Carolina University. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of North Carolina and Virginia.
I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR). I am currently working towards EMDR Certification.
My approach to therapy is integrative. I utilize a combination of the above techniques to suit your individualized needs and goals.
