01 · Who Brittany works with
Brittany lists 5 specialisms and 44 further focus areas. Specialisms are the subjects Brittany chose to list first, which is the closest a listing gets to “this is my actual practice”.
02 · In Brittany's own words
Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
I’m Brittany, a second-generation immigrant and proud Black therapist who approaches the therapy process with empathy, cultural awareness, humility, and intention. I believe therapy should feel like a collaborative and emotionally safe space where you can show up fully as yourself while working toward healing, clarity, and deeper connection.
With 8 years of experience in the mental health field, I specialize in supporting teens, college students, adults, and couples navigating the emotional challenges that impact their relationships, identity, and overall well-being. My approach is warm, affirming, and grounded in helping clients better understand themselves while building healthier patterns of connection with others.
In addition to being a therapist, I am also a board-certified music therapist. I often lean into musical expression and creativity as additional tools for healing, emotional processing, self-exploration, and regulation when words alone may not fully capture the experience. Whether through traditional talk therapy, music-based interventions, emotion-focused therapy, or a blend of all, my goal is to meet clients where they are and create a therapeutic experience that feels authentic and supportive.
My areas of focus include:
Relationship and attachment concerns Anxiety, emotional overwhelm, and burnout Identity exploration and life transitions Trauma and emotional healing LGBTQIA+ affirming care Neurodivergent-affirming support Couples counseling and communication challenges Creative expression and self-exploration College and young adult transitions
I recognize the courage it takes to seek support, and I strive to create a space where clients feel genuinely seen, understood, and empowered throughout their healing journey.
If you’re ready to begin, I’d be honored to support you.

03 · What happens next
Brittany practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Brittany's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Brittany at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Brittany is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Brittany.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.
04 · Before you commit
Built from what Brittany actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Brittany's - Brittany has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.
“How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”
Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.
“How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”
On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

06 · Provenance
Brittany's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 9 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.
The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.

If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
