Brittany Stephen, LPC

Brittany Stephen is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with nine years of experience in the mental health field. She works with adults on relationship concerns, LGBT issues, grief, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem. Brittany also supports people dealing with attachment and abandonment issues, body image, codependency, and related stressors.

She describes therapy as collaborative. Sessions combine talking with practical tools to help people notice patterns and try different ways of relating. Brittany brings attention to cultural background and identity as part of understanding how people learned to handle closeness and conflict.

Brittany also uses music-based approaches when words aren’t enough. She is a board-certified music therapist and may include musical expression for emotional processing and regulation alongside talk work. That can look like using rhythm, songwriting, or listening exercises to access feelings and practice new responses.

Her work often focuses on family of origin patterns and how those early roles and expectations continue to shape adult relationships. She helps people trace where patterns began, name the effects now, and practice different communication and boundary skills in day-to-day life.

Sessions tend to be straightforward and practical. Brittany helps people identify specific goals, try experiments between sessions, and reflect on what shifts. For someone noticing repeating relationship problems or feeling overwhelmed by expectations from their family background, she offers a mix of reflective conversation and creative methods to support change.
