Bri Byrne Therapy

CREDENTIALS/DISCIPLINE: LMFT

BOARD CERTIFIED: Yes, BBS

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:
Number of years treating patients with eating disorders: 5-8

Number of patients with eating disorders I treat annually: 15+

EDUCATION, TRAINING, and EXPERTISE: I received my B.A. in Psychology from Claremont McKenna College and my M.A. from the University of San Francisco. Over the past 13 years I have received time-intensive training in the areas of family therapy, eating disorders and attachment. I have worked at all levels of care in the treatment of eating disorders. I started my work in Residential care at Center for Discovery. I eventually moved to the inpatient and then PHP/IOP levels of care at Alta Bates where I worked as the main group psychotherapist for the adult eating disorder programming.

TREATMENT PHILOSOPHY:

My first priority in eating disorder therapy will always be medical stability. I blend strategies and skills from DBT and CBT to help us track and reduce behaviors. While we are doing this, we are also setting the stage for the deeper work. My style is direct, warm and humorous. My approach is relational and based in psychodynamic and EFT theory. I like to use the relationship in the room as a way to better understand my clients and how they experience relationships and how they are experienced in relationships. The hope is that this will be a relationship where you can practice vulnerability, trust and assertiveness. With some focus on the past we will build a better understanding as to why the eating disorder came into your life when it did, and we will work on making life worth living without it.
