Brittany O'Brien

Welcome! I am a depth-oriented psychotherapist for & couples therapy specialist with a therapeutic orientation grounded in attachment, psychodynamic therapy, and somatic therapy.

Love, connection, and a sense of emotional safety are fundamental human needs. When trauma, relationship struggles, major life transitions, or the challenges of postpartum leave us feeling disconnected, it's easy to become overwhelmed, stuck, or distant from ourselves and the people we care about most.

Many of the individuals and couples I work with understand why they struggle, yet still find themselves caught in the same painful patterns, recurring conflicts, or cycles of disconnection. Insight is valuable, but lasting change often requires more than understanding. It involves creating new experiences of safety, connection, and healing within ourselves and our relationships.

I believe many of our struggles develop as understandable adaptations to life's experiences. Together, we'll explore these patterns with curiosity and compassion while helping you reconnect with your emotions, your body, and your deeper needs. As this sense of connection grows, so does your capacity for healing, resilience, and more fulfilling relationships.

My work is grounded in attachment theory and informed by Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic therapy, and trauma-informed care. I specialize in working with couples, trauma, anxiety, depression, and perinatal mental health. Across all of these areas, my focus remains the same: helping people experience greater emotional safety, deeper connection, and a more secure relationship with themselves and the people they love.

The first session is a chance for us to slow down, understand what brings you in, and get a sense of the patterns or experiences you want support with. You don’t need to prepare anything - we simply begin by grounding the space and exploring what feels most important.
