I bring 20 years of experience in many areas of therapy including LGBT specializations, drug/alcohol issues specialization, and a client centered approach
A lot of people who find their way to me have spent years in a world that wasn't quite built for the way their brain works, and they're still figuring out what that means. I'm Brittany, a Neurodiversity affirming Licensed Clinical Social Worker working with adolescents, adults, and seniors. I specialize in supporting Autistic teens and adults, including those who received their diagnosis later in life, alongside people navigating anxiety, OCD, trauma, ADD/ADHD, and relationship challenges. Clients often tell me I'm the first therapist who has really understood them.
I believe that meaningful healing happens through connection. My goal is to create a compassionate, respectful, and supportive space where you can feel comfortable being yourself and exploring the experiences that have shaped you. I work with children, adolescents, and adults and recognize that every person brings unique strengths, values, relationships, and life experiences to therapy. I will meet you where you are and support you as you work toward greater understanding, healing, and growth. For clients who desire it, Christian faith and spirituality can also be incorporated into our work in a way that honors your individual beliefs and comfort level.
I'm warm, pleasant, knowledgeable, professional, efficient and approachable.
Hello, and welcome. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to helping individuals navigate life's challenges while building resilience, confidence, and meaningful change. I earned my Master of Social Work from Arizona State University and have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families across a variety of settings.
My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, stress management, life transitions, self-esteem, relationship challenges, burnout, and trauma. I also have experience supporting foster, adoptive, and kinship families, as well as individuals navigating parenting and caregiving responsibilities.
With over a decade of acute care experience as a Registered Nurse and a Master’s degree as a Psychiatric Mental
Health Nurse Practitioner, I specialize in treating mood disorders, anxiety, PTSD, neurodiversity, and medication
management.
I offer a supportive, affirming space where clients can show up authentically. I guide individuals in rediscovering themselves and taking meaningful steps toward a more purposeful and aligned life.
Hello, and welcome. I'm Laura, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I work with children, teens, young adults, older adults, and professionals. I specialize in helping individuals navigate trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, and major life transitions.
It's difficult to find someone who gets you. I get it, I've been a client looking for a therapist. When talk therapy hasn't worked how you'd hoped, that's when you can consider a therapy like Somatic, EMDR, or ERP. I can help you with any of these issues. I am a highly effective therapist that also has out of network options for intensives. If you are using insurance and have CPTSD, PTSD, or OCD, we can only meet in the 1 hr format. I have extensive EMDR experience.
I have my MA in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University, and BA from Concordia University, Irvine. I am a later career change and have extensive experience in the creative and tech industries.
I often work with women in Perimenopause to menopause, but have worked with men as well. The attributes of clients who find me are usually ready to change and have tried everything. I find they find the right therapist, at the right time, with the right type of therapy and it changes their lives. You can see more in my google reviews.
I know pretty quickly if we are a match and I won't waste your time, I know the people I can help, and if you want that kind of care, and hate traditional talk therapy, I am your therapist. Reach out to see if we are a match.
As a trauma-informed therapist, I specialize in supporting adults and teens who are struggling with overcoming stress, anxiety, burnout, depression, and past trauma, by finding tools and solutions towards becoming the best version of themselves. I tend to use a variety of client-centered approaches, such as Solution-Focused, EMDR, IFS, and CBT to support you with identifying and processing your past and how it impacts your present. Through self-compassion and reflective work, I help clients reconnect with their inner strength and reclaim their stories. Together, we work toward healing that honors your identity, resilience, and truth.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Modesto
Finding OCD therapists in Modesto starts with looking for the right training, not just the right specialty label. Obsessive-compulsive disorder can involve intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, rumination, avoidance, and related anxiety. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is one therapy approach some clinicians use when supporting people with OCD, and many therapists who support OCD also use cognitive behavioral therapy. Since not all therapists are trained in ERP, read bios for specific mentions of OCD experience, ERP, intrusive thoughts, compulsions, or anxiety-related concerns.
In a mid-size city like Modesto, you may find a focused group of local therapists along with more options through virtual appointments across California. Virtual care can expand access if you want a therapist with specific ERP training, a certain therapy style, or appointment times that fit your schedule. As you compare therapists, look at whether they are accepting new patients, offer free phone consultations, and describe how sessions are structured. A detailed bio can help you tell the difference between a therapist who lists OCD as an area of familiarity and one who has specific experience supporting people living with OCD.
Therapy in Modesto can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find therapists who match your preferences, take your insurance, and offer virtual or in-person appointments. You can review bios, see estimated costs after entering your insurance details, and book directly when you’re ready.
