I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Licensed Clinical Addictions Counselor (LCAC) with more than 30 years of experience helping children, adolescents, adults, and families navigate life challenges. I earned both my bachelor's degree in psychology and master's degree in counseling from Indiana State University.

Throughout my career, I have provided individual, family, and group therapy in a variety of behavioral health settings and have spent over 26 years with Centerstone

in both clinical and leadership roles. My experience spans outpatient therapy with a variety of focus areas, crisis intervention, suicide prevention, substance use treatment, family therapy, and community-based behavioral healthcare.

My treatment approach incorporates person-centered, evidence-based practices including, but not limited to, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Trauma-Informed Care. I have extensive experience supporting individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, ADD/ADHD, Grief, trauma, life transitions, relationship concerns, substance use disorders, grief, suicidal thoughts, and emotional distress.

Personally, I believe healing happens through meaningful relationships. I am passionate about helping people discover their strengths, build resilience, and

develop practical skills that lead to lasting change. My goal is to create a safe, collaborative, and supportive environment where clients feel heard, respected, and

empowered to achieve their goals.

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.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Fort Wayne

Searching for therapists in Fort Wayne starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist may fit your needs. People look for therapy in Fort Wayne for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, and life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and experience that match what you want to focus on. A therapist’s bio can also show whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.

Fort Wayne offers a mix of local therapy options across areas like Downtown, Northside, and South Side, with virtual sessions adding more choice when office location or scheduling matters. Some people prefer in-person therapy near home or work, while others choose virtual therapy for a schedule that fits their day. As you narrow your search, review whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that match your availability, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand each therapist’s communication style, session structure, and areas of focus.

Therapy in Fort Wayne can be a significant investment without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and see an estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. You can compare therapists in Fort Wayne, review bios, and book directly when you find someone who matches your needs, schedule, and insurance plan.
