Therapist

I am Brittany Brookshire, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor working remotely with clients in Illinois and Missouri. I graduated in 2017 with a master’s degree in counseling from the University of Georgia, and I have worked as a school counselor and in private practice.

Many of my clients are between ages 18-50, and I often work with people experiencing depression, anxiety, and adult ADHD. I love being a part of peoples’ journeys through life, and I feel passionately about helping those going through (or healing from) life transitions, religious trauma, abusive relationships, uncertainty in life, grief, stress within marriages, or those just working to love or learn about themselves.

Therapy with Lived Wisdom

With over 20 years of experience walking alongside individuals on their healing journeys, I bring more than clinical knowledge—I bring lived understanding. My work is rooted in the mind-body connection, because true healing doesn’t just happen in the mind. It happens in the nervous system, in the body, and in the deeper layers of the self.

Choosing a therapist is a sacred step. If you’re wondering how to choose, I invite you to ask: “Do they do their own work? Have they sat in the depths they’ll be guiding me through?”

I have. I’ve lived the unraveling. I’ve done the deep inner work. And I’ve found my way through.

Now, I offer a steady, compassionate presence to help you find yours. You don’t have to do this alone.

Let me walk with you.
