Hello! I am a Master's Level Clinical Therapist with over 4 years of experience counseling. I have a wide variety of clinical experiences from a clinic for teenagers with dangerous behaviors, to private practice in a wealthy suburb. My training and research has focused on trauma, complex family dynamics, anxiety, and neurodivergence (ADHD and autism).
You're here because something needs to change, and that takes courage. I'm Jennifer, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 17 years of experience working with individuals, teens, and families across Florida and Indiana. I specialize in maternal mental health, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, and substance use. I don't do cookie-cutter therapy — I adapt to you, your pace, and your life.
I'm glad you're here! I want to be able to work with you to help you move forward, through the challenges. I enjoy working with individuals through difficult life circumstances, and helping to instill hope. I specialize in grief and loss, depression, trauma, and anxiety. I provide talk therapy and can include art therapy in sessions if requested, to help process thoughts and emotions non-verbally. Art can provide further insight into expression that words cannot do alone. I work with teens and adults in the office and/or via telehealth.
I have spent over 40 years teaching, training, and developing mental health programs for individuals from 4 to 84 find hope once again. I am a life-long learner and add at least one certificate a year to ensure clients are given multiple approaches to what they encounter. I am very honest and direct, but also understand the need for pause and reflection. You know the level of your pain and suffering. My job is to meet you where you are and lead you to the place you want to go.
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.
When you've spent so much time trying to hold everything together, it's easy to lose sight of who you are beneath the anxiety, painful experiences, or expectations placed on you by others. Whether you're navigating trauma, relationship challenges, questions about identity, or simply feeling emotionally exhausted, you deserve a space where you can show up exactly as you are without fear of judgment. Meaningful healing is possible, and you don't have to go through it alone. I partner with clients experiencing anxiety, LGBTQIA+ concerns, women's issues, trauma, and PTSD so they can build confidence, strengthen relationships, reconnect with themselves, and move toward a life that feels more authentic and fulfilling. I work with adolescents, adults, and children because every person deserves to feel accepted, understood, and empowered.
Clients should know that I’m a real person first and a therapist second. I actually started my career in sports management, but life had other plans — and a series of lived experiences pulled me toward social work in a way that felt impossible to ignore. I went on to complete my MSW at Indiana State University in Terre Haute, IN, and I’ve spent the last ten years working in child protection, community health, and hospital social work in a Level 1 trauma facility.
I also spent years as a caregiver, which made me especially comfortable working with older adults and taught me that humor, patience, and a good cup of coffee can get you through almost anything. I’m nearing completion of my PST therapy certification, which adds a structured, problem‐solving lens to the work we do.
I take therapy seriously, but I don’t take myself too seriously — so you can expect warmth, honesty, and the occasional well‐timed laugh when life hands us something so absurd it deserves one.
I’ve been working in the mental health field since earning my Masters of Science in Social Work degree with a specialization in Alcohol and Drug Counseling from the University of Louisville in 2011. Over the years, I’ve worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings, supporting adults through challenges with mental health and substance use. Those experiences have given me the privilege of walking alongside people in some of the hardest and most transformative moments of their lives.
With over a decade of experience, I offer tailored therapy for diverse challenges: Disruptive Behavior, Parental Stress, LGBTQIA Support, Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Relationships, Grief, Life Transitions, BIPOC Concerns, and Personal Growth. I use a holistic approach integrating Trauma-Informed Care, CBT, and Behavior Therapy. Let's work towards healing and growth together!

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Fort Wayne
Finding postpartum therapists in Fort Wayne starts with looking for care that matches your specific postpartum needs. Postpartum support can include counseling for postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity changes, and relationship strain after a new baby. As you compare therapists, look for listed experience in perinatal mental health, postpartum depression counseling, or working with new parents. The PMH-C credential can also signal specialized training in perinatal mental health care.
In Fort Wayne, a local therapist may be a good fit if you prefer in-person sessions or want care close to home. Virtual appointments can also expand your options, especially when your schedule changes often, infant care affects timing, or physical recovery makes travel harder. Beyond specialty, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can help you understand their style, the concerns they work with most often, and what a first session may look like.
Therapy in Fort Wayne can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your expected payment before you book. Headway helps you search postpartum therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review detailed profiles, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs after your insurance is verified. You can compare therapists, check availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
