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.

Maria Elizabeth LeBlanc
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, M.Ed MSW LICSW
A guiding principle in my work is the belief that the quality of the therapeutic relationship is of the utmost importance. Neuroscientific literature supports the curative powers of deep empathic attunement (limbic resonance), and the brain/body's ability to heal. As such, in addition to attending to you with the same level of respectful presence that I would expect in a therapist, I use both cognitive/emotional and mind/body tools to assist you in your healing. I think you will find me warm, genuine, empathic, and knowledgeable.

Erika Gray
Psychologist, Psy.D
Why is it so hard to find a therapist? So many people arrive here exhausted from the search. I understand that your connection to your therapist is paramount to your healing. I offer a free consultation to give you a chance to see if we're a good "fit" with the hope that this can be a place to stop, rest and begin the process you've been longing to begin.

Amanda Etienne
Psychologist, Psy.D
If you're a woman who's spent years doing everything "right," (achieving, handling, holding it together...) you may have noticed that success didn't fill the gap you thought it would. I work with capable, high-achieving women who are realizing they want more than functioning: they want to actually know themselves, and to let the people in their life know them too.
Many of my clients grew up being told they were "too sensitive" or "too much." I believe sensitivity isn't the problem to manage away - it's a strength that got mislabeled, and often the very thing that makes deep connection possible. Together, we slow down enough to build a real relationship with yourself, not just a polished explanation of yourself.
I offer virtual therapy across Colorado, Washington, and all PSYPACT states, specializing in anxiety, perfectionism, and relational and sexual trauma. If you're ready to stop managing your sensitivity and start using it, I'd love to talk.
