Adrianna is a Marriage and Family Therapist with over 20 years of experience. Adrianna has been with Prosperity since its opening in 2012 and has celebrated her 11 years. She has played an integral role as Prosperity’s family therapist, FBT facilitator, and supervisor. Her main focus is working with the entire family system to increase healthy lines of communication, problem-solving, and help each family reach their unique goals. Adrianna is certified as a Family-Based Treatment (FBT) provider. FBT is also known as the Maudsley Approach. FBT is an evidence-based treatment approach and the treatment of choice for adolescents with anorexia nervosa. We are lucky to have one of the few certified FBT providers in the state of Virginia right here at Prosperity Eating Disorders & Wellness Center!
The certification process, through the Training Institute for Child and Adolescent Eating Disorders, was designed by Daniel LeGrange, PhD, and James Locke, MD, the developers of FBT. Adrianna has worked with cases involving high-conflict parents, recently divorced couples, significant adolescent or parent pathology, and heightened suicide risk. She has also successfully used modified versions of FBT to treat young adults and spouses with eating disorders.
Adrianna is passionate about helping families in their journey towards full recovery and deeper connections. She helps facilitate an increase in self-awareness and family dynamics. In her spare time, Adrianna enjoys spending time with her husband and kids. She is fluent in English and Spanish and offers services in both languages.
