I've been practicing as an LPC in a private community-based clinic for the last 17 years. My specialty has been with traumatized youth in a group day treatment setting. I've also utilized play therapy with children while focusing on trauma resolution and healthy attachment with caregivers. Long ago and far away, I was trained in Levels I and II of EMDR. I'm admittedly rusty and not sure how this could be utilized in messaging, but I'm willing to explore how it may be integrated.

Brittany Russotto
I’m a therapist who believes that meaningful change happens in a space where people feel safe, understood, and genuinely supported. Many of my clients come to me during moments of overwhelm, transition, or emotional stuckness. My role is to offer a calm, compassionate environment where you can slow down, explore what’s beneath the surface, and begin building a life that feels more manageable and worth living. I work with teens and adults navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. I also support individuals who struggle with coping around substance use, as well as their families, who often carry their own layers of worry, confusion, and hope. In addition, I work with those experiencing disordered eating, helping them understand the emotional patterns behind their relationship with food and develop healthier, more sustainable ways of caring for themselves. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence based practices. I integrate cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness, and trauma informed care, tailoring each session to your unique needs and pace. I see therapy as a partnership — one where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to reconnect with yourself in a deeper, more grounded way. Whether you’re seeking support for yourself or navigating challenges within your family, I’m here to walk alongside you with compassion and clarity. In our first session, you can expect a relaxed, supportive conversation focused on getting to know you and what brings you to therapy. I take a down to earth, collaborative approach and appreciate humor as a way to help ease nerves and create connection. We’ll talk about your goals, what’s been feeling challenging, and what you want from therapy—at a pace that feels comfortable for you. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, supported, and understood from the very beginning. My ideal client is someone who is trying their best but feels overwhelmed by the weight of their experiences. They may be navigating anxiety, trauma, or patterns that feel hard to break. They might be a teen trying to make sense of big emotions, an adult moving through a major life transition, or someone noticing their substance use is getting harder to manage. I also connect deeply with individuals who struggle with disordered eating or who use certain behaviors to cope with stress, shame, or uncertainty. What matters most to me is not where someone is starting from, but their willingness to show up honestly — even if that honesty looks like “I don’t know where to begin.” My ideal client is open to exploring their story, curious about understanding their patterns, and ready to build healthier ways of coping. They don’t need to have everything figured out; they just need a desire for things to feel different.
