I’m Briana Childs, LMSW, CYT 300 (she/her), a Black lesbian Holistic Therapist and certified Reiki II Practitioner in Atlanta, GA. I am a Licensed Master Social Worker and I’ve worked in a variety of clinical settings, including clinical case management at an LGBTQ+ HIV-prevention non-profit and behavioral health therapy in the partial hospitalization/intensive outpatient setting. I have worked with clients with anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, and more. In my social work background, I have worked as a community mobilizer, a financial coach for marginalized communities, and I’m currently a part of the BEAM (Black Emotional & Mental Health Collective) community volunteer team!

As a Holistic Therapist, I am certified in the following modalities: sound healing, reiki, mindfulness and breathwork, energy healing, and yoga for mental health, all from a trauma-informed lense. As a clinical mental health therapist, I also have extensive experience with utilizing the following evidence-based treatment modalities: CBT, DBT, Behavioral Activation for Depression, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD. I am also certified in Black Mental Health & Healing Justice Peer Support with BEAM.
