Britany Brancheau
LMSW
Child Centered Play Therapy, Counseling /Mental Health Therapy
Hello, I am Britany! I provide therapy for adults, children, and teens. I recognize that deciding to work with a therapist is a big step in you and/or your child’s healing journey.
I have extensive experience working with individuals (children and adults) dealing with CPTSD/PTSD, grief, depression, anxiety, and those looking for parenting support. My approach is trauma-informed and person-centered, and I am deeply committed to addressing systemic harm and oppression that impact individuals’ well-being.
I believe in creating a safe and non-judgmental space for my clients to explore their thoughts and emotions. I use a combination of cognitive-behavioral therapy, Narrative Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Somatic/Mindfulness techniques to help clients gain insight into their behavior patterns and make lasting changes. I am also currently working on my certification towards Child-Centered Play Therapy.
I am dedicated to helping individuals overcome their struggles and achieve a sense of peace and fulfillment in their lives. My ultimate goal is to support you and/or your child in validating and processing all emotions, and to understand that no feeling is permanent. I value the importance of building a healthy and supportive therapeutic relationship, where feedback is welcomed and treatment goals can be adjusted as needed.
I believe in promoting self-compassion and guiding you and/or your child in developing self-care practices throughout your journey. I also incorporate elements of humor and lightheartedness when appropriate. Together, we will work through past and present life experiences to help reconnect to you and/or your child’s authentic self.

I have a Masters Degree in Education from SUNY Cortland and Masters Degree in Social Work from Syracuse University. I have 25 years experience working with school aged children and families. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with diverse populations, including children, adults, and adolescents in various settings including schools, hospitals, and community organizations.

Lauren Usherwood
Pre-Licensed MFT
Counseling /Mental Health Therapy
When reflecting on my most significant experiences, I find fulfillment in assisting others in reaching their goals and recognizing their self-worth. Having worked in diverse fields, I have realized the importance of providing neutrality and support, which I aim to offer each client. By meeting them at their current stage in their mental health journey, my goal is to create a safe and stable environment for them to explore their different aspects and viewpoints.
As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I apply a range of methods and strategies to support individuals, children, adolescents, and various relational dynamics in their natural growth process. In my experience within a neurodiverse setting, I specialize in ADHD and other related disorders. I also provide support for parents/guardians. This can either be individual therapy for their personal growth or regularly scheduled appointments to learn how to manage or support their child’s needs. Furthermore, I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from LeMoyne and a Master of Arts in MFT from SU.
I work with adults, teens, and children. I also offer consultation support for parents/guardians with a child with ADHD symptoms.
