Brittany Briswalter

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Weatherford, TX


I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), who is trained in Play Therapy and Autplay Therapy, which is a specialized therapeutic approach for children and adolescents with neurodevelopmental differences, including autism, ADHD, sensory differences, social anxiety, learning differences, and other developmental or physical disabilities. It is neurodiversity-affirming, meaning it values the unique strengths of each child while addressing areas of challenge in a supportive and inclusive manner. AutPlay Therapy is designed so that parents are not just observers but active, trained “co‐therapists” who work alongside the child and the therapist to meet therapy goals at home twccllc.net. This collaborative approach ensures that the child’s progress is sustained beyond the therapy session, creating a “Co‐Regulation Loop” where parents and children regulate emotions and behaviors together.

With adults or couples, I take a holistic approach to counseling that looks at the mind, body, and spirit. I integrate spiritual practices into my counseling sessions by creating a safe and open space for clients to explore their beliefs and values. My aim is to assist you in overcoming life’s challenges and achieving your fullest potential by exploring deeper meaning and purpose in your life. I use a mix of different methods to tailor my approach to each person, creating a supportive and empathetic environment for growth and healing. My diverse experience helps me connect with people from all walks of life.

Outside of work, I enjoy horseback riding, spending time with my pups, serving at my church’s Youth Ministry, and staying active with CrossFit. These activities keep me balanced and fulfilled, and I bring that energy into my counseling practice.

Life can get heavy—whether you’re juggling family dynamics, relationship stress, parenting challenges, or just trying to stay afloat. Maybe you’ve always been the dependable one, the person everyone else leans on, but you’re starting to realize it’s time to focus on yourself. You want less tension, more connection, and practical tools that actually make a difference. You’re not after a quick fix—you just want someone real to help you sort things out and walk with you through the hard parts.
