Brittney Benningfield, M.A.

Licensed Professional Counseling Associate (LPCA)

Seeking out a therapist can be hard; I want you to know that I am so proud of you and so glad you are here! I believe that we all need someone to talk to and I would love to be that somebody for you! Going through life can be challenging and often it may feel like too much to handle on our own, as your therapist I will meet you where you are and walk alongside you on your journey. My goal is to empower you and support you in whichever phase of life you might be in.

A little about me and my approach.

I obtained my bachelor’s degree in 2021, worked in the mental health field, and decided I wanted to get my graduate degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I enjoy meeting and helping as many people as possible while learning about myself as a therapist. In my free time, I love spending time with my husband and two sons in nature or cuddled up on the couch watching a good movie.

My approach is psychodynamic, but I understand each person is different and may benefit from a different approach, this is where I meet you where you are. I work with adolescents/teens, adults, and couples. I am trained in EMDR and working towards my certification. I am also a part of the Association of Animal-Assisted Intervention Professionals and have a 7-year-old German shepherd who is a certified therapy dog through Pet Partners. We volunteer at local hospitals and assisted living homes as a therapy team. If you believe I could be a match for you, please feel free to reach out. I look forward to meeting you and starting this journey together.

Five Values that Guide My Work: empathy, open-mindedness, authenticity, patience, and creativity.
