Brittany Hamilton

Brittany Hamilton

Therapist

Virtual • Virginia


Hi, I’m Brittany, a therapist in Virginia. I work with women, men, teens, moms, and couples who are carrying a lot and could use someone in their corner. People come to me feeling anxious, worn down, stuck in a hard season, overwhelmed by early motherhood, or struggling to connect with the person they love.

Therapy with me feels like a real conversation. I’m warm, honest, and judgment-free, and I’ll gently hold you to the goals you set — with a little humor along the way, because healing doesn’t have to be heavy all the time. You won’t just leave with a space to vent. You’ll leave with practical ways to quiet the noise in your head, calm your body when everything feels like too much, set boundaries that actually hold, and talk through what’s hard instead of swallowing it.

I have specialized training in pregnancy and postpartum mental health, and a deep love for supporting moms through everything that comes with it — the exhaustion, the guilt, the grief, and the question of who you are now. I’m also certified in a relationship program for couples that helps you understand each other’s patterns, communicate without it turning into a fight, and rebuild trust — whether you’re preparing for marriage or working through a rough stretch.

And I’m a military spouse, so I know the rhythm of deployments, moves, and coming home from the inside. Military members and families will find someone here who gets it without needing it explained.

Wherever you’re starting from, you deserve to feel seen. I’d be honored to walk alongside you toward growth, healing, and thriving.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 15 years of experience in mental health and substance misuse services. I also have a postgraduate Certificate in Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy, and am passionate about helping folks with post-psychedelic integration. Our therapeutic partnership begins with the understanding that you are a whole person — not a diagnosis, a symptom, or a set of circumstances. Together, we will explore how the intersections of identity, lived experience, trauma, mental health, and substance use shape your inner world and outer life across biological, psychological, social, and spiritual dimensions.
