Britney DeRisi

Hi, Im Britney and I am a licensed Independent Social Worker- Supervisor. For the past 17 years I have been working with people to bring back their inner peace, strength and confidence. Hospitals, schools and community agencies have given me a broad perspective on many aspects of culture, lifestyle and reality. I have a Masters Degree from New York University and a Bachelors from the University of Cincinnati. I am also a former NFL Cheerleader and current youth athletic coach in my community. When I think about my experiences, there are really only a few things that shape my current work. These things include the understanding that we all have enough resilience to find meaning and individual purpose. Even when things don’t go as planned, no matter who you are, it IS possible. I specialize in Trauma, Anxiety, Depression and Grief.

my clients might describe our work together as challenging, and rewarding. I often hear people say they are tired of doing the same things and expecting something different. I like to be honest and help people break out of the patterns and systems that keep them from the best version of themselves. I like my clients to think about what is important right now? What feels hard? what is the goal? Through exploration and assigning personal challenges we will learn how to overcome and bring meaning to your life.

The beginning sessions will likely include discussions about how we can bring you to an emotionally stable place while working on personal growth at the same time. We might start by learning new skills and move onto lifestyle changes and I might even challenge your current daily patterns or thoughts. We can take a deep dive if you feel lead to resolve things from your past during these sessions. An environment that makes you feel heard, confident and prepared is my goal.
