Hi, I’m Brittany — a licensed therapist, maternal wellness advocate, and founder of B.Intentional Wellness and The Center for Intentional Maternal Wellness. I’m passionate about supporting women through life’s transitions, from managing anxiety and perfectionism to navigating identity shifts in motherhood and beyond. I bring both expertise and heart to my work, and I’m committed to helping clients reclaim their peace, power, and purpose. Outside the therapy room, I’m a mom, a lover of cozy evenings, intentional self-care, long walks, and good music. I believe healing can be warm, real, and even a little fun.

Melissa ODonnell

Therapist

Virtual • Illinois


I earned my master’s degree in social work from George Williams College and hold licensure in both Illinois and Wisconsin. My clinical experience spans work with diverse populations, including teens and adults navigating a wide range of mental health challenges. I am trained in several evidence‐based therapeutic modalities—CBT, DBT, ACT, and EMDR—which allows me to tailor treatment to each person’s needs and support meaningful, sustainable change.

I provide individual therapy as well as family and couples work. I value helping people move through life’s stressors, strengthen their coping skills, and recognize the progress they make toward their goals.

If you have questions about the services and supports available to you, your family, or your loved ones, I’m here to help. I’d also be glad to share more about what I enjoy most in the therapeutic process and how we can work together to build a healthier, more grounded life.

Hi, I'm Kendra. If life has taken a turn you did not plan for, whether that is struggling

to grow your family, an anxiety that will not quiet down, or a relationship that feels

stuck, you do not have to sort it out alone. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in

Illinois, and I work with adults and families who are carrying more than they let on. My

belief is simple: empathy, empowerment, and collaboration are what make therapy

work. You bring what you are facing, and we find the path forward together. When you

are ready, I would be glad to meet you.
