Brittany Shick

Hi there, I'm Brittany. I'm a wife and a mother, and counseling has been a calling of mine since I was young, shaped by my life experiences.

You might look like you have it all together on the outside while feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally exhausted on the inside. Maybe you're highly sensitive, constantly overthinking, or carrying the weight of past trauma. I specialize in working with high-functioning adults, adolescents, and children who are carrying more than most people around them know.

My clinical background includes three years at the VA supporting veterans, service members, and their families, plus years in community settings treating trauma, substance use, and behavioral and emotional disorders across all levels of care.

My approach is trauma-informed and built around you. I draw from ACT, IFS, CBT, Prolonged Exposure, and Art Therapy depending on what fits, and I adjust as we go. I believe in cultural humility and meeting people where they are, not where I expect them to be. My own background shapes how I show up. I understand what it means to hold multiple identities and navigate complex family systems from the inside. Sessions feel collaborative and honest. I will challenge you when it is useful and sit with you when that is what you need.

Our first session is less formal than you might expect. We will talk about what brought you in, what you have been carrying, and what you are hoping to feel differently about. I will share a bit about how I work and we will figure out together if we are a good fit. You do not have to have your story perfectly organized. We can start wherever you are.
