Dr. Brutus is a licensed mental health provider and Certified Mental Performance Consultant (CMPC) in the field of Sport and Performance Psychology who works at the intersection of mental health, sport, and leadership performance. She supports high-achievers—including athletes, professionals, and leaders—who are navigating pressure, identity, performance demands, and life transitions.
In addition to therapy services covered by insurance, Dr. Brutus also provides mental performance consulting leveraging her specialty training in sport psychology, which focuses on optimizing performance in sport, business, and leadership settings. This work is not covered by insurance and is typically more goal-oriented and performance-driven.
Dr. Brutus is known for her warm, direct, and empowering style. She creates a space where clients feel supported while also being challenged to grow. Whether clients are seeking mental health support, performance enhancement, or both, her goal is to help them build clarity, resilience, and confidence across all areas of life.
I believe every person deserves a space where they feel genuinely seen, heard, and accepted. My practice is grounded in authenticity, compassion, and collaboration. I enjoy working with couples, adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, self-esteem concerns, and emotional overwhelm.
I have advanced training in, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and other evidence-based approaches.
I also have extensive experience helping individuals recover from narcissistic abuse, unhealthy relationship patterns, and the impact of personality disorders on individuals and families.
Above all, I believe people are far more than a diagnosis. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, reconnect with your strengths, and create meaningful, lasting change.
I am in the helping profession to use my wisdom, talents, experiences, and education to help guide you so you can get to where you want to be. I am empathetic, compassionate, present, direct, and sometimes witty!
I was born to do the work I do! I seek and find my work/life balance by enjoying travel, cooking, light gardening, maintaining meaningful connections with those I love, hiking, and reading.


Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding postpartum therapists in Fayetteville starts with looking for care that fits the concerns you want to address. Postpartum support can include help with postpartum anxiety, postpartum depression, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. As you compare therapists, look for listed experience with perinatal mental health, pregnancy therapy, therapy for moms, or support for new parents. A certification such as PMH-C can also signal specialized training in perinatal mental health.
In a smaller city like Fayetteville, local postpartum therapists may have limited availability, so virtual care can expand your options beyond nearby offices. This can be especially useful when your schedule depends on infant care, physical recovery, work, or family support. As you narrow your search, compare appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist profiles can help you understand their approach, communication style, and experience with postpartum and prenatal concerns before you book.
Therapy in Fayetteville can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket expense before your first appointment. Headway helps you search for postpartum therapists who match your needs, accept a wide range of insurance plans, and offer in-person or virtual appointments, so you can review bios and book directly when you’re ready.
