The decision to seek therapy is usually at a difficult time in ones life. It isn't always easy, but can be life changing. As a therapist my main goal is establish a healthy therapeutic relationship with my clients. In my practice I work primarily with addictions (gambling/alcohol) and the effects on the individual and the family. I also work with individuals dealing depression, anxiety, women's issues, as well as those struggling in their relationship/marriage. I use cognitive behavioral therapy with my clients and I truly put forth the effort to individualize each therapeutic session to fit my clients needs.

My therapy style focuses on my belief that you are competent and capable. I believe you are more aware of what needs to happen for change to occur, than the you may realize. At times, people become stuck in unproductive ways of doing things and have trouble seeing other options. I also feel that people sometimes continually hear that they are not capable or create a negative story about the situation. It than makes it difficult to view their lives from another perspective.

There is hope! What I specialize in: anyone who has experienced childhood trauma, and those with chronic health issues, EMDR certified. You can find life more peaceful, and simple with increased connection with yourself and others. Being willing to reprocess the past with EMDR is the most effective way to treat current symptoms. Connection with others is a basic human need. I am sure whatever your symptoms are they are impacting your relationships. This is what is causing the most suffering. We all need relationships to feel happy and content. We will explore past trauma, increasing contentment. This is NOT traditional talk therapy.

Maya Angelou said, “There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.” I agree! Our stories are a part of who we are, and they shape our experiences. When we share our stories, we can heal from trauma, connect with others, and grow as individuals. I help individuals and couples explore the themes of attachment and connection in their stories, or lack thereof, which are essential to healing and growth. I use an attachment-focused lens to help you understand how your life experiences have shaped your current relationships and sense of self, so you can feel confident in your next chapter because you know the author.

Greetings, I'm Brittany Woodham, a Christian therapist dedicated to helping clients heal from past traumatic experiences. I work closely with individuals who are unapologetically themselves, culturally diverse, and open-minded. My ideal clients are high achievers who want to achieve a better life but feel held back by negative beliefs, past experiences, and fears. They often struggle with maintaining healthy relationships, people-pleasing behaviors, and childhood trauma. They are ready to make drastic changes but don't know where to begin their healing journey.
