Brittany Peterson-Jackson, LMHC

Brittany is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor providing therapy for the parts of you that learned to stay small. She is passionate about helping clients untangle the complicated relationships they have with themselves and others. She specializes in working with adults who grew up navigating difficult family dynamics and now find themselves stuck in patterns of perfectionism, people-pleasing, and self-doubt. Her vision is for you to feel empowered to live in alignment with your true self free from the burden of unresolved trauma, emotional immaturity, and limiting beliefs. Additionally, she serves and support primary and secondary grievers and teaches emotional fluency to reduce psychological distress and increase overall well-being.

Brittany believes healing happens in the presence of safety, compassion, and authentic connection. Her approach is collaborative, validating, and focused on helping you better understand your story not just where you’ve been, but where you want to go. Together, you'll explore what’s holding you back, challenge your limiting beliefs, build practical tools to strengthen your sense of self, set healthy boundaries, and cultivate a life you feel good about.

Brittany's goal is for you is to leave each session or workshop feeling seen, supported, and a little more hopeful. Her style is warm, collaborative, and real. No stiff therapy speak, no judgment, just honest conversation and meaningful work. She invites you to sit with her to build new stories from historical unhealed childhood wounds. If you’re ready to stop living by old rules and start writing your own, she'd be honored to walk alongside you!

Outside of sessions, you can find her dining at new restaurants, sitting by the water, relaxing at home with a wonderful smelling candle or exploring a new city.

Therapy can help you feel safe enough to uncover who you truly are underneath the pain, defenses, or survival strategies you’ve had to use. It's about learning to tolerate and transform emotion, understand your story with compassion, build a more loving relationship with yourself, and take meaningful steps toward a life that feels true to you. Healing isn’t about being strong — it’s about being real. It’s about finally allowing yourself the space to be seen, heard, and supported without judgment. We know how hard it can be to ask for help especially since you’ve been strong for so long, holding it all together. This journey is partly the nature – and the quality – of our relationship which will determine the success of your overall therapy goals. Here are some things that you can expect within the therapeutic relationship:

• To be invited into a cultivated safe, supportive, and confidential space whether in person or online

• To be treated with compassion, empathy, respect, and grace

• To be present with someone who is available to listen to you including the description of your world from your view

• To receive knowledgeable and scientifically backed techniques and information to assist you in overcoming your struggles

• To learn relevant strategies and techniques that you can use to enact positive changes on your life

We'd Be a Good Fit If:

• You're motivated

• You can meet in person or online for scheduled sessions

• You're curious about what's ahead for you

• You'll consider trusting the process, and yourself

• You're open to learning and growing through what is unfamiliar and at times uncomfortable

• You're willing to embrace the challenges as well as the celebrations along the journey

• You understand that healing takes time

• You can be open to embracing that you're worth every minute of the journey

(whether you believe that at this moment or not)
