Brittney Brownfield (she/her)

My specialty is in child therapy with a master's degree in Counseling Exceptional Children. I have worked with children and their parents in both inpatient and outpatient settings. I believe it is so important to treat children and their feelings seriously and to provide an unbiased space from them to process, learn coping skills, and feel heard. I also have experience providing coaching to parents around mental health diagnoses & how to support your children with using coping skills.

I have supported many families through conflict, teaching evidence-based interpersonal effectiveness techniques, as well as slowing down communication so that we can best hear each other. It can be so frustrating to not get our needs met from those in our lives or to not know how to go about asking others for what we need.

For the past decade, I have helped hundreds of clients as they navigate depression and its varied symptoms: low mood and sadness, intrusive thoughts, feelings of worthlessness, trouble sleeping, difficulty concentrating, self-harm, suicidal thinking, etc. I have supported these clients by teaching concrete coping skills, as well as providing a space to talk through thought patterns and increase insight.

I strongly believe that a therapist's job is to help you find the life you want to lead, not to tell you what life you should lead. Through motivational interviewing, it allows me to support you with figuring out what you want, what you need, and what barriers you may be encountering. You are the expert of yourself and I want everyone I work with to grow in their expertise.

I have been practicing family therapy for almost a decade now in both outpatient settings and also in more crisis-oriented settings. My role is to guide families through difficult conversations as well as provide concrete interpersonal effectiveness techniques and psychoeducation.

I have utilized CBT in almost every setting I have worked in and helped hundreds of clients of all ages practice CBT skills to manage their mood, anxiety, panic, etc. Understanding the cycle between our thoughts, behaviors, and feelings is so powerful. Learning how to use skills to positively disrupt that cycle and create a new one can be life-changing.
