Chronic Illness Therapists in Simpsonville, SC

I have been in practice since 1988, dedicated to helping my patients to understand the causes of their problems and to regain mastery, control and well being in their lives. I have extensive experience in the diagnosis and treatment of mental health problems including depression, anxiety, trauma, bipolar disorder, chronic illness and pain management. I also specialize in the diagnosis of cognitive problems and dementias associated with Alzheimer's Disease and other disorders.

Anxiety is a normal part of life but too much anxiety can make us choose unhelpful coping mechanisms that prevent us from being able to function in other areas of our life. We often feel that if anxiety would just go away, we'd feel better about our day to day lives but where does that leave us when another anxiety provoking situation or event happens? Getting control of anxiety is difficult work but it can alleviate so many of the hurdles we experience in life. As a certified hypnotherapist and licensed professional counselor, we can work together to help you use healthier coping mechanisms to be the person you want to be.

Living with a chronic health condition or pain can be overwhelming, scary, and confusing. At times you don't recognize yourself anymore, and you wonder what new limitations the day might bring. You know these struggles are somehow behind your depressed and anxious feelings, and you feel alone...that no one understands. Right now, you have more questions than answers, but you know you'd do anything to get your life back. The roller coaster of doctor visits, medication changes, and emotions is becoming too much and you're ready to get off the roller coaster and feel grounded again.

My name is Brittain and I love helping people accomplish goals and live more authentically. Feeling alone in our struggles can be hard, so my goal is to help you feel heard and valued as we work together to identify and overcome the obstacles you are facing and move toward a more fulfilled life. I believe each person and their struggles are unique, so I approach the counseling process to meet you right where you are, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. While I believe true healing is found through a relationship with Jesus Christ, I respect that not everyone shares this belief and will integrate it only upon request.

Congratulations! You're moving toward the life you want. Exploring solutions to challenges and making life-transitions takes commitment to your growth.

Child and Adolescent psychologist. Ph.D. in Child/School Psychology from an APA-accredited program at McGill University, Montreal, Canada in 2005. I specialize in neuropsychological, psychological, developmental, and psycho-educational testing. Testing is performed for the purposes of diagnosis & treatment planning. I give "understandable" reports with comprehensive treatment plans, referrals to health professions (S&L, OT, PT, & psychiatrists), home-based & school-based recommendations. I equip parents to engage their children in interventions at home, empowering parents to take charge of their children's challenges. I also provide brief screening and treatment recommendations as an alternative to comprehensive testing.

In addition to therapy, I believe it is important to assess for the physical and mental well-being, safety, living situation, support systems, financial situations and overall individual needs. I respect that each person life experience and story is unique. I strive to ensure that therapy is in safe and non-judgmental environment as you work through your challenges. My goal is to empower, encourage, support, and assist with the development of self-awareness and coping skills that will that help you face challenges independently.

Therapy is one of the most powerful tools in making positive life changes.

I have many years experience working with adults and children suffering from depression, anxiety, OCD, anger issues, trauma, and abuse. I have also worked in the field of drug and alcohol addiction.

Life should be about happiness. You are not feeling like you anymore, struggling to wake up and stay afloat or manage the curve balls that life keeps throwing at you. Whether dealing with trauma, grief, anxiety, or depression I want to help! Struggling in your relationship and feel like you are distant or unforeseen things have damaged the integrity of the relationship. Imagine forming a relationship back that is what you always imagined. Difficulties in navigating a family dynamic with issues, let me get to the root and help navigate the uncharted waters. You matter, your relationship matters, your family matters. I want to help!

Sometimes it feels as if we lost our way; our closest relationships are a constant source of conflict and loneliness, and we struggle to find true connections, clarity, confidence, hope, and peace. It does not need to be that way. You can be seen and loved for who you really are, and you can count on yourself and others through the ups and downs of life. I enjoy guiding people through that journey to become their best selves and to enjoy fulfilling relationships.

**EVENING and SATURDAY HOURS** Making the decision to seek therapy is an important and personal choice. It is often difficult for us to sort out solutions to issues that on the surface seem simple, but in real life can be crippling, disorienting and sources of conflict. My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe, confidential space for self-exploration and healing that promotes mental wellness and empowers the client to move forward in their life. Let me help you move forward in this positive journey towards increased self-awareness and clarity of self.
