Life is hard. If the difficulties you face are overwhelming, having another person walk with you may make all the difference. Therapy can be a means to identify and overcome challenges in your life, and those of your loved ones, and provide you the healing and courage you need to live and love to the fullest. My experience treating issues including trauma, depression, anxiety, anger, spirituality, grief, men's issues, and marriage/relationships, enable me to accompany you through the dark seasons of your life, and help you find hope when it is hard to find.

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.

Each person is worthy of being seen, heard, and valued. When the challenges and stressors of life become too much to handle, it can lead to feeling like the rug is being pulled out from under you. I take a person-centered approach, allowing each person to be the expert of their own lives, and work to walk alongside each client to help them find their desired outcomes. I work with individuals, couples, and family members through a number of varying issues and problems to gain emotional resilience in order to respond mindfully to life’s challenges while fostering personal and relational healing.

People like yourself most often work with me when they are having difficulty moving past a tragedy, find themselves feeling stuck due to personal choices and/or unforeseen life events, or experiencing relationship difficulties and are unsure how to move forward. We all experience these things. You are not alone. Whatever you are experiencing, I am here to help you on this journey.

Life is hard-I imagine that is the last thing that you want to hear right now. But unless you assume a different perspective, you may miss some important things-like hope, grace, and compassion. In my 30 plus years as a licensed professional counselor, I have had the honor of walking with individuals and couples through life crises and transitions, seeing them with fresh eyes, an understanding heart, and strategic interventions (or behavioral “experiments”) as they discover a new life of purpose and meaning, with renewed personal energy and deepened relationships.

Despite mental health becoming less stigmatizing over recent years, the fact remains that most are still uncomfortable discussing this area of their life. Yet, at some point, we all experience adverse emotional responses. The reasons for this may differ- a trauma, a health crisis, a painful childhood, or even a difficult transition. Life events such as these, coupled with our genetic predisposition and environment, often leave us feeling alone, confused, and stuck. My mission is to help people find their strength to get on their feet, find their path, and even thrive in a new way moving forward.

All of us deserve to savor what life has to offer to the fullest extent possible. Many experience that journey as compromised by difficult transitions or painful circumstances in their lives, threatening to rob them of their joy. These blockages may come from events in the present such as loss of a loved one or a deteriorating relationship; or they may result from earlier events that have left wounds/scars unhealed. We provide individual, group, and family sessions to help create awareness and understanding of how to get back to 'Me'. We explore issues and allow clients to choose to heal mentally, spiritually, and emotionally.

We are in challenging times, and we are all experiencing some level of discomfort in adjusting to life circumstances. However, we are also individuals, and our brains express emotions differently from one person to the next. My clinical focus is to work with balancing your mind, using the qEEG and neurofeedback, a noninvasive therapeutic intervention, as I help you create an individual treatment plan to promote healthy thinking, which will decrease your unwanted feelings. Our brains want to be balanced! This therapy creates a relaxed state of mind, almost like creating a good memory, which aids in the brain's ability to heal.

Ready to talk? I invite you into a safe and inclusive counseling space where your voice will be heard, and your experiences will be valued. I strive to foster a caring and empathetic atmosphere, where you can freely express your thoughts, emotions, and concerns. I have experience working with late adolescents and adults, specifically members of the QTBIPOC community. I understand that issues related to anxiety, sexuality, spirituality, identity concerns, LGBTQ+ topics, and depression can be complex and deeply personal.

Hi there! In the midst of life's demands, it's easy to feel emotionally and mentally drained. Balancing roles as parents, partners, colleagues, and caretakers often leads us to overlook our own well-being. It can feel like an endless cycle of battling anxiety, depression, and self-doubt, leaving us feeling stuck in a hamster wheel of stress. While we prioritize relationships with others, it's equally crucial to nurture our relationship with ourselves. If you're grappling with self-criticism or navigating life's transitions while seeking identity, remember: self-care isn't a luxury; it's vital for our well-being.

After working with adolescents in various settings in my early career, I recognized the need to utilize the family and other support systems to affect more powerful and lasting change. I worked in several school settings where I developed systemic interventions that included family therapy, community outreach and service. I linked with the programs and universities training masters and PhD level clinicians in MFT. Upon retirement from the schools, I have continued seeing clients in private practice, where I now work with a diverse group of dedicated, energetic clinicians with shared commitment to positive outcomes.

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 also specialize in the diagnosis of cognitive problems and dementias associated with Alzheimer's Disease and other disorders.

For over 37 years, people have sought my guidance in the mental health field to get through life's most difficult circumstances especially in the event that the "unthinkable" happens. Areas of speciality include assisting those exposed to workplace and personal trauma critical incident stress management, and traumatic loss/grief. With access to a multidisciplinary national crisis team , I have provided aid to numerous trauma survivors globally, nationally and statewide.

I am a LPC in South Carolina. I enjoy working with clients as they confront avoidance and start living the lives they desire. The best evidence we have shows the importance of a good therapeutic relationship in overall therapy outcomes. I love connecting with my clients and building a great relationship with them. To be sure, life has many challenges and many of us respond to those challenges in ways that are not consistent with our values. Many times, these responses cause life to not be as enjoyable as we would like. Wherever our challenges come from, these challenges do not need to prevent us from living the life we desire.

I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist. I specialize in couples who are seeking marriage enrichment, or trying to overcome difficulties in their relationships, or learning how to connect emotionally. I also work with individuals. My goal is to help clients in their struggles, which will help them reach their full potential in society. I know that life is a journey and sometimes we can get stuck in life. I provide a safe environment where the clients can learn and work on coping skills, so they will feel empowered in life. I focus on goals that the clients want to work on without feeling judged.
