My name is Brittany O'Brien. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and hold a Master or Arts degree in clinical mental health counseling. I have 8 years experience in private practice and specialize in identity work, perinatal/postpartum mood and anxiety disorders, disordered eating, anxiety, depression, and couples/relationship counseling.
I reject the blank slate therapist role and prefer to work from the perspective Irvin Yalom refers to as the fellow traveler. With that, I believe therapy is a sacred and collaborative process. I utilize a trauma-informed, mindfulness-based, somatic, and psychodynamic approach to therapy to aide clients in processing past wounds while identifying unmet needs and skills for the present.
Through a compassionate and dedicated therapy process, I strive to enable clients to build insight and awareness of themselves while identifying and implementing new skills and ways of thinking to manage emotional distress and discomfort.
