Meet the Leadership Team
While we don’t all think the same — and that’s exactly the point. Our leadership team is made up of different personalities, perspectives, and strengths. Some of us are quirky, some are Type A, some are process-oriented — but together, our differences create balance, creativity, and clarity. Each leader brings a unique skill set to the table, allowing us to challenge one another, grow together, and make thoughtful decisions that move Works forward.
By combining our individual strengths with a shared purpose, we’ve built a leadership team that is deeply connected, highly collaborative, and committed to creating the best possible environment for both our clinicians and clients. Simply put, our leadership skills come together to form the best leadership team Works could ask for — one that leads with intention, heart, and excellence.
Angelique Howington Works
She leads with passion, authenticity, and transparency. No hidden agendas. No corporate fluff. If something matters, she’ll say it. If something needs to change, she’ll own it. And if something is worth celebrating, she’ll probably laugh loudly while doing it.
Angelique is bisexual and proud of it, and she cares deeply about creating spaces where people do not have to edit themselves to belong. Owning Works gives her purpose not just because of the clients served, but because of the team built along the way. She believes great work happens when people feel safe, trusted, and genuinely supported.
She takes the work seriously, but not herself. She laughs a lot, brings big energy into the room, and believes leadership can be both grounded and joyful. For Angelique, this isn’t just a business. It’s a calling. And she’s honored to lead it.
Briana Graviss
Starting in intake and working her way into the Administrative Director role, Briana became a trusted backbone of the practice. In July 2025, she expanded her role to include Connect Counseling Center and now oversees the behind-the-scenes operations at both Works and Connect that keep everything running smoothly, from metrics and policies to workflows and problem-solving. She’s known for bringing clarity to chaos, asking the right questions, and creating systems that support both therapists and clients.
Briana is passionate about creating a safe, supportive environment where teams can thrive and clients feel cared for from their very first interaction. Her leadership style is grounded, steady, and collaborative — proof that trust isn’t given, it’s earned.
Outside of work, Briana enjoys time with family, rewatching favorites like The Vampire Diaries and Grey’s Anatomy, relaxing with a good coloring session, and never turning down an ice cream run.
