Britney Monahan

Therapist

Virtual • Texas


My approach to therapy is conversational, down-to-earth, & grounded in genuine human connection. I bring 14+ yrs of clinical knowledge & evidence-based practices to sessions w/o making therapy feel overly formal. I believe you should be able to laugh, cry, get mad, be honest, ask questions, & say whatever is on your mind w/o fear of judgment.


Together we will slow things down, make sense of what's happening beneath the surface, challenge what isn't working, & find ways forward that actually fit your life. There will be honest conversations, thoughtful insight, practical tools, and - when appropriate - a little humor along the way.

Makea Sanders

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Arlington, TX


I believe therapy works best when you can show up as yourself without judgment, pressure, or feeling like you have to say the “right” thing. I’ve known since I was a junior in high school that I wanted to help people heal from the inside out, and that purpose has stayed with me ever since. For me, therapy isn’t just a job it's my purpose.


I work with clients ages 10+ navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, grief, self-esteem, and life transitions. I’m warm, down-to-earth, and pretty easy to talk to. You don’t have to come to therapy with everything figured out...we will do that together!
