Welcome. If you’ve come this far, I imagine you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, and frustrated - that life lacks in the meaning, vitality, and belonging that you would desire for yourself. Sometimes, despite our best efforts to overcome our problems, we can feel lost and demoralized. Should this resonate with your experience, allow me to share about my practice and how I might help. I am a clinical psychologist with a broad range of expertise and specialize in trauma, loss, and related problems of identity, relationships, and meaning.

Hi my name is Brittany Bargiel licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of Pennsylvania. I attended Seton Hill University earning my Psychology degree with a minor in Women and Gender Studies. Then pursuing my Masters at Seton Hill University in Marriage in Family Therapy. I have experience working with diverse populations such as, crisis work, women shelters, hospitals, children with disabilities, and most recently private and group practice. I enjoy the work that I have been called to do. When not in the office, I enjoy being in nature, spending time with friends and family, and watching my favorite sports teams.

I encounter clients where they are. As we build a relationship, we explore coping skills. I believe that small progress is still progress.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Board Certified Art Therapist specializing in maternal mental health. Perhaps you had your first baby and find yourself overwhelmed with the transition of taking care of a newborn. Or maybe you are a mom of 3 and find yourself feeling depressed and anxious. From my clinical experience spanning over a decade, as well as my personal experience as a mom, I can help you gain tools to manage your emotions and get stronger as a mom.

Currently accepting summer 2026 clients for short-term therapy. Some availability for longer term clients.

I want to make the task of being human a little bit easier. That's it. That's the whole goal.

I trained in Gestalt therapy through a three-year program, Nonviolent Communication, and improvisational comedy and performance — not because they're quirky credentials, but because they each taught me something real about how people change, connect, and find themselves. I also bring a background in alternative education and hold social location (race, gender, class, dis/ability) as foundational to understanding how we experience the world.

I specialize in trauma, grief, LGBTQIA+ identity, gender dysphoria, maternal mental health, anxiety, and the work of becoming more fully yourself. Here and Wow Therapy is a space where that work is taken seriously — and can occasionally be a little fun.

Are you tired of carrying things that are just too heavy for you to carry alone anymore? As a licensed professional counselor, I can help you carry that load. In my 12 years as a counselor, I've worked with families, children, adolescents, and adults of all ages in homes, outpatient offices, and online. I have a Ph.D. in counselor education and supervision, and have taught in graduate counseling programs, but my first love is working directly with individuals who are dealing with the effects of trauma, grief, burnout, or anxiety. I am a Christian and would be happy to incorporate your spiritual beliefs, whether Christian or not, into our work together, if desired.
