Hi, my name is Brittany, and I am a License Marriage and Family Therapist. I received a bachelor's degree in psychology and a bachelor's degree in Spanish at Seattle University. I then received a master's degree in marriage and family therapy at Chapman University. I have experience working with adults, adolescents, families, and couples. I specialize in working with teens and adults on trauma work, EMDR, and relational work. I support others in identifying and shifting the ways their past experiences impact them and their relationships to others. I am passionate about supporting others in creating lives that match their values and goals. Some of my favorite activities are traveling, reading, cats, animals, crocheting, music, and going on walks.

Whether you’re navigating relationships, work stress, life transitions, self-worth, or simply feeling overwhelmed, you don’t have to figure it all out alone. You’re welcome here, exactly as you are.

Terra Forristel

Therapist

Virtual • California


I provide compassionate, strengths-based therapy to support individuals navigating life’s most difficult seasons, including trauma, major life transitions, and grief. My approach centers on helping clients feel seen, supported, and empowered as they work through emotional challenges and move toward healing and resilience.

I specialize in grief and loss, adjustment to terminal illness, and anxiety. Using process-oriented and compassion-focused counseling techniques, I help clients explore their experiences at a deeper level while developing practical tools for emotional balance and self-understanding. I am also trained in Brainspotting, an evidence-based trauma therapy that supports clients in processing deep emotional pain and unresolved trauma in a safe and supportive environment.

My goal is to create a therapeutic space where clients feel understood, respected, and encouraged to grow at their own pace.
