Therapy with Bria
Join me as I bring you weekly TIPS - Trauma-Informed Parenting Strategies, to help navigate family dynamics, big emotions, trauma, and with a special focus on supporting families with neurodiversity. I'm a Registered Psychotherapist and you'll hear some solo shows from me as well as shows with interview guests. While this show is for educational purposes only and is not a substitute for therapy or other mental health supports, I hope that it encourages you to gain insight and awareness and a sense of self-acceptance and confidence.
