Hi, I'm Brittany Attwood!

Do you struggle with the exhausting effects of trauma, overwhelming chronic health stressors, or the loss of a sense of self which impacts your day-to-day life and everything from your relationships to your motivation? Do you feel overwhelmed and frozen by depression, grief, anxiety, or the pain & weight of your experiences? Do you question that your mental health symptoms and/or quality of life could ever get better? Now more than ever, people are feeling discouraged and alone in their pain and mental health struggles. At Rise Counseling and Coaching, we believe every person should have support in rising from life’s challenges and roadblocks. There is hope & healing here for you too.

I offer online therapy for any individual that is six years or older. I start with hearing your unique experiences & pain points. I help you know how we will get you to your best self by creating a tailored treatment plan, then we collaboratively and holistically move you to better mental health. You deserve to feel safe and heard as you receive the help and hope you need--whether that's through EMDR therapy or another modality I use. I offer accessible, authentic, affordable online counseling services from a caring and skilled clinician.

While I have been trained to treat many different concerns, various types of trauma, chronic pain, and chronic illness are my greatest passions! My personal journey with physical disability only fuels the fire in my belly for this field even more. To address all aspects of a client's concern, I most often utilize an integrative approach that frequently focuses on Person-Centered TherapyChoice Theory/Reality Therapy, Multi-Cultural Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Play Therapy, and Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT). I am also specialty trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), two of the evidence based treatments for trauma and PTSD. 


I know whatever it is you are carrying, it is a lot. I want to share my expertise to lighten the load. Let’s take the next step towards getting you relief and healing together!

 

I offer my expertise via online therapy (Telehealth) and have weekday and evening availability to accomodate those with even the busiest of schedules.
