Your “through” may be overcoming anxiety, depression, parenting, relationships, self-esteem, life transition. No matter what, I am more than happy to assist. I am a NY State Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 20 years of experience in the mental health field.

Antoinette Bryce, Clinical Social Worker/LCSW Licensed in NY and NC Hello there! My name is Antoinette Bryce, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has been in the mental health and human services field for 13 years. I am a graduate from the Fordham University and currently a lecturer within the Human Behavior field. My passion is “People” and helping them to get to the core of who they are. Starting out as a customer service agent many years ago I have learnt that the “customer is always right.” In keeping this approach, coupling it with a mental health and trauma focused lens, my modality of choice for intervention is from the Humanistic Paradigm- I will meet you where you are at…and then we both work from there. I also include in my practice short-term Solution Focused Intervention and CBT Therapy. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, ADHD, anxiety, work-related concerns including burn-out, parenting problems, religious/spiritual struggles, life transitions, self-esteem concerns, anger management and an extensive background in child welfare. I have also spent all my timeframe as a Human Behavior Specialist working in underserved communities, working closely with underserved clients-specifically members of the black and brown community. Trauma hinders our progress whether the exposure is miniscule, extensive or somewhere in-between. Unless we can identify and understand this impact one cannot start moving towards healing. Let’s start this journey together and explore through appropriate intervention that is designed to meet your needs, a way towards being whole again.

I am licensed in New York with 13 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, addiction, life changes, issues with body image and weight loss, trauma and abuse, motivation, self esteem, and confidence. My therapeutic style is fairly laid back and more personable while upholding professional guidelines and practices. My approach often, but not always, includes relating back to childhood roles and family dynamics as a way to help individuals understand how those things sometimes inform how one views themselves and informs choices one makes. At times, I will focus on patterns in a persons life in an effort to find the common denominator. I do not help answer "why" questions....but I do help answer "how" questions. "Why" questions are accusatory but "how" questions are inquisitive. For example, asking yourself, "Why did I do that when I knew it was going to be bad for me?" Only serves to accuse you of doing something wrong. Asking yourself, "How did I manage to convince myself to do that when I knew it was going to be bad for me" is a great way to explore all the things that informed your decision. When we know how we did something, we can then figure out how to do things differently. No matter what, I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking this first step to sign up for therapy takes courage and I am proud of you for getting started!
