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.

Chris Scarberry
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
I co-own Healing Reflections Therapy: Diversity, Trauma, and Wellness Services with my partner Megan Garza. We each have over twenty-five years of experience working as therapists. We integrate those values into everything we do. I love the work that I do and especially enjoy helping to empower clients and help them to make their therapy goals and dreams a reality. I have a genuine and transparent approach with clients. I balance active listening with interpretations and feedback, while treating therapy as a fluid, nuanced conversation. I meet people where they are at and am informed, open and affirming of LGBTQ+ identities, chronic illness, kink and non-monogamous relationship dynamics. I welcome clients from all walks of life and marginalized communities. I enjoy meeting with people from a variety of spiritual backgrounds, atheists, Christians, Muslims, Jewish people etc, but do not reference mine or impose any spiritual agenda with my clients. In short, we only talk about it if it's important to you. My Masters Degree is in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy which enables me to skillfully work with individuals, couples, and adult family members. I view treatment as both of us collaboratively working toward your goals, utilizing your own insights and strengths as a basis for further development.

Amanda Cummings Brandenburg
Psychologist, PhD
I am a counseling psychologist with a high level of personal responsibility and a strong drive to provide high-quality counseling services. I strive to individualize my services to each client’s needs and do not follow a “one-size-fits-all” approach. I believe therapy is an art AND a science and pay special attention to the needs and preferences of each client. I keep a small caseload to help prevent burnout and to allow myself to better focus on the individuals I serve.
I identify as a first-generation college student, a cycle-breaker, and a mother to a child with a disability called Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA). I know what it is like to persevere and overcome hardships in everyday life. I also strongly value bringing humanness and humility to my counseling practice, allowing for authentic connection.
