Over a decade into her career, Brittany works with anxiety, depression, grief, PTSD and trauma, veterans, OCD, substance use, life transitions, and LGBTQ+ clients — drawing on CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy, Moral Reconation Therapy, the Good Lives Model, and Exposure Therapy.
“I can be direct and straight to the point,” she says. “I enjoy using humor and making it a part of the session, but mostly I want to create a safe place where my client can talk and know that I’m going to support them.”
Brittany’s dad died when she was eight, and the therapy she needed at the time never came. “I enjoy giving back to the community and educating people about mental health,” she says of what drew her into the field. She’s not sure she’s drawn to one specific population above others — “I don’t know that I am really passionate about any specific population, but I do enjoy seeing people feel better and gain more confidence in themselves.”
One moment that has stayed with her — watching a client go from believing they’d never be happy again after losing a loved one, to living and enjoying life again — now checking in only once every couple of months. “Everyone can benefit from therapy,” she says, plainly.
What makes KPCC special to her is its people-first philosophy: “There isn’t someone at the top trying to get rich. The mission is simple — it’s about helping people in the community while paying staff fairly. It’s a people-first business, which is rare.”
