Our goal when we created Refresh Therapy was to create a place where you can tell your story. Everyone has a story. We can't wait to hear yours. Counseling encourages you to examine your dreams, thoughts, choices, barriers, and pain to nurture positive life changes. We believe that success in therapy requires collaboration with your therapist, and that the right fit is vital to success. Refresh Therapy consists of several dynamic therapists who are ready to join you in your efforts to push past whatever is holding you back. We believe that life is full of potential. We want to help you uncover the best life you can live. We believe in a strength-based approach. We also know that you do not live in a bubble, and that systems such as your family friends, career, relationships, past, and other experiences make you the unique person you are. We know how important it is to understand who you are in context, so we can customize your counseling experience and better understand your feelings. Bryanna Goodman founded Refresh Therapy in 2010.

My approach focuses on identifying and healing subconscious patterns and protective responses shaped by trauma and early life experiences. I help clients reconnect with their sense of safety and self-trust.

Therapy with me goes beyond standard talk therapy to work directly with your nervous system and core emotional patterns: Somatic Experiencing & Regulation: Calming "fight-or-flight" or freeze responses using grounding and somatic tracking to relieve physical anxiety and help your body feel safe again. Internal Family Systems (IFS): Exploring and harmonizing the different internal "parts" of yourself--especially those carrying shame, fear, or protective habits--so you can lead with clarity and self-compassion. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): Developing psychological flexibility, unhooking from overwhelming thoughts, and taking concrete steps aligned with your values.

Maybe you’ve been holding everything together on the outside while feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck on the inside. You may be navigating ADHD, a major life transition, relationship challenges, or the exhaustion that comes from constantly putting other people’s needs before your own. You might understand what you “should” do, but still find yourself overthinking, people-pleasing, or struggling to follow through. I believe therapy should feel like a place where you can finally exhale. I offer a warm, compassionate, and collaborative space where you can be honest without judgment and feel genuinely understood. Together, we’ll slow things down, make sense of the patterns that keep you stuck, and identify practical ways to create change that feels sustainable—not overwhelming. I’ll help you develop greater self-awareness, strengthen boundaries, quiet self-criticism, and build a more supportive relationship with yourself. When helpful, I integrate EMDR and parts work to gently explore experiences and patterns that may still be influencing how you feel and respond today. You don’t have to have everything figured out before reaching out. We can start wherever you are and work together toward feeling more grounded, confident, and at ease in your life.

My approach to healing is grounded in strengths theory, utilizing and highlighting our innate resilience to support individuals on their journey through challenging times. Too often in our busy day to day activities paired with the fast paced demands of our society we spend much of our time focused on what's wrong, what we don't have, and the mistakes we've made along the way; all the while losing sight of the strengths that have supported us on our journey. I'm passionate about helping families, couples, and individuals navigate challenges, achieve fulfillment, and become engaged and empowered in their lives. I rely on cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, and strength-based approaches. I strongly endorse the notion that social and family interactions affect development, so I help my clients transition from unhealthy interactions to healing through internalized change. I offer a safe, nonjudgmental space to heal from life's challenges. I strive to find creative approaches tailored to each client's struggles and strengths. I support the exploration and development of innate talents. Working as a therapist for the last seven years has helped me develop my understanding of mental health in a range of settings, including community mental health, juvenile corrections, work with cancer survivors, and private practice care.

I believe in building a safe and authentic therapeutic relationship to promote social and emotional growth, and ultimately, empowering the client to achieve their own success.
