Brittany Ryan-Berzins
Psychologist, PhD
I’m Dr. Brittany Ryan-Berzins, a licensed clinical psychologist and Co-Founder of Birch Tree Psychology. For more than two decades, I have had the privilege of helping children, adolescents, and adults navigate periods of emotional difficulty, personal transition, and significant change. My work is grounded in the belief that therapy should offer both a compassionate place to feel understood and a thoughtful path toward meaningful, lasting change.
I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, and the challenges that accompany major life transitions. I have a particular interest in working with women and adolescent girls as they navigate the complexities of identity, relationships, motherhood, fertility, divorce, and other pivotal stages of life. I also work closely with parents who are seeking a deeper understanding of their child or adolescent and want thoughtful, effective support during challenging periods.
My approach is highly individualized and collaborative. I draw from evidence-based approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and behavioral strategies, while also exploring the ways in which earlier experiences can shape our emotional lives, relationships, and patterns of responding. I believe that meaningful therapy requires looking beyond symptoms to understand the person as a whole—your history, strengths, relationships, values, and aspirations.
Many of the clients I work with are thoughtful, capable, and accustomed to managing a great deal on their own. Yet beneath that competence, they may be struggling with self-doubt, perfectionism, an unforgiving inner critic, or the feeling that something in their lives has become increasingly difficult to navigate. Therapy can provide the opportunity to step back, gain perspective, and develop a more compassionate and grounded understanding of yourself.
I bring warmth, curiosity, and clinical expertise to each therapeutic relationship. I strive to create an environment that feels comfortable and genuine while maintaining a clear focus on the goals that bring you to therapy. Together, we identify the patterns that may be holding you back, develop practical strategies for navigating the present, and work toward a greater sense of confidence, resilience, and emotional well-being.
My hope is that therapy becomes more than a place to manage what is difficult. It can be a space to know yourself more deeply, strengthen your relationships, and make intentional choices about the life you want to create. Wherever you are in that process, I would be honored to help you move forward.

mindful vision counseling
Counselor/Therapist, LPC-S, ADHD-CCSP
Ugh... just ugh. Do you ever feel as if you're letting life pass you by? Like those around you seem to be living their best lives, but somehow you just can't get there (and predict yet another Netflix binge on the horizon as a flimsy attempt to bury those feelings)? I get it. Virtual counseling can be the perfect platform for us to connect and work on your goals in a convenient, safe space. We have the very real advantage of being able to meet up from day one in a place of ease, comfort and hope, whatever that may look like for you.
It is my belief that every human deserves to feel safe, cared for, and respected. It would be an honor to collaborate with you in doing my part in helping to make that happen. Will today be just another day, or will you choose to make it count and invest in your future self? Let's chat and see if we might be a good fit!
