I’m a mindfulness-based psychotherapist specializing in anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, and career burnout—particularly for professionals in tech, corporate, and high-pressure industries. Before becoming a therapist, I worked in the corporate fashion world, so I understand the relentless pressure to perform, the challenges of work-life balance, and the burnout cycle that can feel impossible to break.
I earned my Master’s in Professional Studies in Creative Arts Therapy from Pratt Institute and am a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist (LCAT), Licensed Professional Art Therapist (LPAT), and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). My approach is goal-oriented, practical, and holistic, combining CBT, mindfulness, and creative therapies to help clients gain clarity, manage stress, and move forward with confidence.
I am passionate about helping individuals overcome mental and emotional obstacles and believe that therapy should be a collaborative experience. With a focus on sexual trauma, PTSD, LGBTQIA+, and serious and persistent mental illness, I am equipped to provide comprehensive mental health services to adults of any age. In addition to my clinical work, I am an animal lover and avid reader, and I bring these passions into my therapeutic approach. I welcome clients from all walks of life, including those who practice polyamory, open relationships, or other non-traditional relationship dynamics. Kink-friendly.
The counseling relationship between you and I is one of mutual respect and responsibility. Starting with understanding where you are now and the challenges you are facing, we will work together to help you move forward and reach your goals. Therapy is a process that takes place in a non-judgmental environment where you are free to share your thoughts, emotions, and concerns.
I work with older adolescents, adults and couples. Clients come to me for a variety of reasons including recent or past trauma, various forms of abuse, relationship difficulties, life stresses and transitions, depression, grief, anxiety, as well as personal growth and development, among others.

Brittney Washington, LPC-S, LCDC-CI, CLC
Life can feel like a never-ending to-do list, and no matter how much you check off, it still feels like you’re barely keeping up. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out alone either.
I’m Brittney Washington, a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor (LPC-S), Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor Intern (LCDC-CI), and Certified Life Coach (CLC) with over six years of experience helping professionals, entrepreneurs, caregivers, and high-achievers navigate ADHD, anxiety, burnout, stress, life transitions, and imposter syndrome. My passion is helping people who are used to handling everything but now feel overwhelmed, stuck, or like they’ve lost control of their own lives.
Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and solution-focused therapy, I take a practical, down-to-earth approach to help clients get clear on what’s keeping them stuck and develop a plan to move forward in a way that works for them.
My name is Kayla Bennett, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have many years experience working with children, teens, and adults in multiple areas.
I have been honored to help many clients alongside their healing journey, and I have been able to witness the positive changes that have helped clients feel empowered and go on to accomplish great things in their lives. If you are ready to take steps towards change and healing, I would honored to help you!
Therapy is a deeply personal journey. It is one that is unique to each individual. Whether we meet weekly or biweekly, I encourage my clients to bring the aspects of life they’d like to explore and grow through. Together, we can uncover the roots of your struggles and develop ways to navigate discomfort and pain. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. It’s tailored to your needs, whether that means working through a specific challenge—feeling stuck, sad, or angry—or simply gaining a deeper understanding of yourself. With me, you will find a space where you are seen, heard, and supported every step of the way.
