Brittany Copeland, Clinician (she/her)

 I help clients realize, recognize and embrace their capacity to change. It is important that clients feel understood, empowered, and experience a trusting relationship throughout our work together.

Individual Therapy

“Choosing what’s best for you is a different kind of bravery.” I help clients recognize and honor all identities—both public and private. I invite clients to bring their full self to our space. I use an integrative treatment style where I meet clients where they are, using research-based and culturally responsive interventions. My approach to therapy is strengths-based and goal-oriented, where we welcome humor, mindfulness, accountability, and growth.

Couples Therapy

I support couples in identifying and addressing barriers that may be limiting connection and intimacy. Together, we work to build a strong foundation for a fulfilling relationship—emotionally, physically, and spiritually—both within the partnership and beyond. I work with couples of all orientations, including heterosexual, LGBTQ+, monogamous, and consensually non-monogamous (CNM) relationships. Our work will create a space where all needs can be explored with honesty and care.

In premarital counseling, my focus is on creating clarity around shared values, long- and short-term visioning, and practical planning. My approach integrates a variety of evidence-based methods, including Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and the Gottman Method.

Working together, I can help you:

• Find the first step that soften obstacles

• Setting boundaries to prioritize the relationship

• Engage in Premarital Therapy

• Strengthen your communication

• Heal from breaches of trust

• Increase sexual and nonsexual intimacy

• Navigate consensual non-monogamy
