Sometimes life changes in ways you never expected. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, the transition into parenthood, or the emotional demands of caring for others, it's easy to lose sight of yourself while trying to keep everything together. You don't have to face those challenges alone. For more than 20 years, I've partnered with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, grief and loss, women's issues, and trauma, helping them build resilience, strengthen relationships, and rediscover hope during life's most difficult seasons. Working with children, adolescents, and adults, I strive to create a compassionate, supportive space where you feel genuinely heard, respected, and empowered to move toward lasting healing.

I am a dedicated counselor with a passion for helping individuals overcome challenges and achieve personal growth. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Psychology from the University of Missouri-Columbia and my Master's in Guidance and Counseling from Lincoln University. My career began working with survivors of domestic and sexual assault and, over the years, I have gained diverse experience working in private practice, school-based therapy, community behavioral health, and the prison system.My approach is sex positive, affirming and tailored to your unique needs. You don’t have to have everything figured out to begin—just a willingness to explore. I enjoy exploring the Pacific Northwest and spending time with my friends, family and dog.

Brittany Holland

Brittany Holland

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Liberty, MO


Brittany is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a master of social work degree from Walden University. With over seven years of experience in the field of social work, she brings a wide-ranging background that includes working with the Children’s Division, in hospital settings, with geriatrics, and school-based social work. This diverse experience has given her a deep understanding of individuals across the lifespan and the unique challenges they face. Helping others through therapy is more than just a career, it’s a calling. Brittany believes deeply in the power of trauma-informed care and support, and the healing that comes from having a safe, judgment-free space to process and grow. She also believes in the importance of identifying the root cause of symptoms, rather than just managing surface-level issues.
