Connect with Britt Shearin
I work with folks who are seeking a stronger sense of self-trust, ease, and ability to be connected and present in their life, hobbies, and relationships. Whether you are seeking to understand yourself, develop tools for managing stress, or align decisions with your values, you don't have to do it alone. Maybe you understand some of your patterns and past hurts, but still feel frustrated with what to do about them. Maybe life is changing and you need stability and a listening ear. I believe that self-compassion and acceptance paired with supportive relationships creates a more fulfilling life (with a little humor along the way)!
I focus on working as a team to integrate my therapeutic knowledge with your life expertise and strengths. I work with individuals, families, and relationships. My specific expertise is drawn from IFS, CBT, DBT, and ACT. I specialize in trauma, grief, ADHD coaching, life and gender transition, anxiety, depression, and psychosis.
I practice from a queer affirming, poly-affirming, kink-friendly, intersectional, harm-reduction lens. I invite you to ask any questions to determine if we would be a good fit. It takes courage and vulnerability to get started with therapy. I am glad you are here!
