Licensed Master of Social Work

Hi, I’m Branca Fernandes. I provide therapy services at our Owen Brown, MD clinic.

I support clients through challenges like depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem. I especially enjoy working with families and helping parents strengthen their parenting skills. I also have a special interest in supporting women in building confidence, feeling empowered, and breaking unhelpful patterns. I value working with individuals from diverse and immigrant backgrounds and am open to incorporating spirituality when it feels meaningful to you.

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness, and I like to incorporate art, crafts, self-care, and hobbies to make therapy more engaging and practical.

I provide a safe space where you feel heard and understood. We will work together as a team, and I will bring evidence-based tools and strategies to guide our work. Together, we will break things down into small, manageable steps so you can make progress toward your goals in a way that feels realistic and achievable, with my support along the way.

I’m glad you’re here, committed to your health and to building a meaningful life. It would be an honor to be part of your journey, supporting you as you face life’s challenges and celebrating your victories along the way.
