Brianna Shuman, LCMFT, CCTP

Hello! I am Brianna. I am a Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist in Maryland and Vermont and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. I obtained my master’s degree in Marriage and Family Counseling/Therapy at Capella University. I have a bachelor’s degree in Sociology from Shepherd University, where I worked closely with the LGBTQ+ community and discovered a passion for helping others help themselves.

In 2015, I  worked with the WV Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation at the Jefferson County Youth Reporting Center to help at-risk youth on probation. During this time, I worked closely with numerous counselors to help the students and their families overcome challenges and build the skills that would help them succeed. This ignited my interest in working with couples and families within their means to improve their situation.

Utilizing a person-centered, strengths-based approach allows me to help clients find the solutions that work best for them. I believe that each person is unique and capable of creating an environment where they can thrive. I support clients in building awareness of themselves and the root causes of challenges they are facing in day-to-day life, as well as finding within themselves the power to heal what is hurting.

I work with adults looking to work through and resolve problems to build a happy, healthy, and balanced life. Some areas of interest include trauma, anxiety, relationships, sexuality, chronic illness, life transitions, and career changes. I enjoy working with a diverse group of clients coming from many different backgrounds. I provide sex-positive, kink-friendly, and LGBTQ+-affirming services.
