Are you having difficulty in your day-to-day life and it's keeping you from achieving your goals? Are you ready to begin making changes to improve your quality of life? It takes courage to want to make a change.

Hi, I'm Brittany. I specialize in working with clients and their families after traumatic brain injury or spinal cord injury. As a certified brain-injury specialist, I work to support you in your adjustment to significant life changes. Adjustment after brain injury or spinal cord injury is a major life transition and I'm here to move through this journey with you and support you along the way. I also enjoy working with those experiencing other life transitions, such as new job, change in relationship status, or transitioning into and out of the workforce. I am licensed in both Texas and Colorado. I look forward to meeting you.

I am a clinical psychologist specializing in adult neuropsychological assessment. I completed my Pre Doctoral Internship at the Indiana Neuroscience Institute and Post Doctoral Fellowship with Neuropsychological Services, P.C., working closely with the Brain Injury Waiver Program through the Department of Human Services' Office of Rehabilitation Services. Post Doctoral work also included inpatient and outpatient evaluation and differential diagnosis of various psychiatric, neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders. I served as Director of Neuropsychology for Benchmark Psychiatric Services, LTD, prior to founding The Neurobehavioral Group, PC. in 2012.

I provide neuropsychological testing to children, adolescents and young adults to give an overview of cognitive abilities to determine individual strengths and weaknesses. These abilities include: Intellectual Functioning (IQ); Academic Achievement; Learning & Memory; Attention & Executive Functioning; Language & Phonological Processing; Visual-Spatial Skills & Visual-Motor Integration; Fine Motor Coordination; Adaptive Functioning; Emotional & Behavioral Functioning; Social Skills & Pragmatic (Social) Language. Using these results, I can help coordinate care with your child's other medical providers, suggest school recommendations (including IEP/504 Plans), and provide referrals to specialists and professionals that can help your child maximize his or her functioning and potential.

I work with a diverse array of clients, including active and retired military, police, and other first responders, as well as victim/survivors of trauma, chronic illness, substance use, and the LGBTQ+ population. I have skills for the variety of concerns that my populations encounter, including, complex PTSD, trauma, severe anxiety, adjustment, re-integration, communication, TBI/ABIs, phobias, substance use, and mood dysregulation. Most importantly, I work with clients that come how they are, how they can, and with everything they have.

MY GOAL: to promote mental, physical, & spiritual health for people at each developmental phase of life. Your struggles might include mood disorder or inefficient brain function. My broad-range experience: studied at Ohio State University under top-ranked professors in Counseling Psychology and brain injury. RESIDENCIES: Minneapolis VA hospital; Ohio State's brain injury rehab unit. 17+ years inpatient rehab neuropsychology experience at Baylor Rehab Dallas, Pate Rehab. 1990-95: Christian counseling & neuropsychology at Minirth-Meier Clinic. Adjunct Professor: LPC-level Counseling degree program at Dallas Theological Seminary.

I plan to work and incorporate holistic and integrative care with individuals, couples, and families by assessing and addressing physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects. I am a genuine counselor meeting clients where they are and moving them forward towards growth and healing. I believe there is strength in human connections and encourage others towards the goals set in counseling.

Neuropsychological evaluations can be helpful at any age. If you are struggling with your thinking abilities (attention, memory, or executive functioning), you may benefit from diagnostic clarity (is it ADHD? do I have dementia?). Testing can identify a pattern of cognitive strengths and weaknesses and help guide in treatment planning.

Lifeworks Counseling Center, PLLC has been in business since 1992. We provide therapy for ages 4 and up. We have 9 therapists (LPC, LMFT, LCSW) who provide counseling for almost any emotional/mental/spiritual challenge people face in today's culture. We have therapists on most major insurance and EAP panels and also work with private pay clients as well.

We live in a time where we struggle to understand how to cope with our mental health needs, especially with everything going on these past few years. Our thoughts are powerful and we minimize the effect they have on us, this can be overwhelming without the coping skills needed to deal with them. Understand and be assured, you have come to the right place. The combination of graduating from both UT Southwestern (Rehabilitation Counseling) and Texas Woman's University (Counseling & Development) has helped me understand both sides of the counseling process, medical and behavioral.
