I specialize in working with adult survivors of childhood abuse, neglect, dysfunctional family systems, PTSD, Complex PTSD (C-PTSD), attachment wounds, disenfranchised grief (visit twodoveswellness.com for an explanation of this) and loss-related grief. I use an eclectic approach of various modalities with an emphasis on psychoeducation, somatic experiencing and Polyvagal theory. You will befriend your nervous system. I am an Attachment Trauma Treatment Specialist licensed in Michigan, Texas and Alabama. Together, we work to better understand how past experiences may still be impacting present-day emotions, relationships, and patterns of behavior.

I am Area Britton, LCSW, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Bachelor and Master of Social Work. My professional background includes experience in mental health therapy, school-based services, child welfare, inpatient healthcare, hospice, and substance use treatment, allowing me to support individuals across diverse backgrounds and life stages. My primary areas of focus include depression, anxiety, grief and loss, maternal mental health, life transitions, and women’s issues.

Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, depression, ADHD, anger, grief, or past trauma begin to take up more space than the life you want to live. You may be exhausted from carrying everything on your own, struggling to manage emotions, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. I work with adults and teens who are ready for change but may not know where to start. Together, we'll create a space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to heal, build confidence, strengthen relationships, and move forward with greater clarity and purpose.
