I am the founder of Briggs Counseling, a black-owned business. I have 10+ years experience in the helping field and have served populations such as crisis, those with mood disorders, suffering with depression, anxiety, stress among other challenges. I found a special interest in working with women and those affected by trauma which led me to pursue additional EMDR and ARC trainings. I sought to elevate my skill set and gain more knowledge into the insurance world. I began working as a service coordinator. As a coordinator, I was able to talk to a member, build a relationship, learn about their unique challenges, evaluate available services, make referrals and build community relationships in the midst of it. Currently, I use my experiences to guide and lay the foundation for Briggs Counseling. I look forward to taking the journey with those ready to tackle their challenges. I look forward to helping other counselors start-up their counseling practices, even navigating "intimidating" credentialing with insurance panels. I look forward to collaborating with other professionals and making connections.
