Getting to know Brittany Drayton
You might be here because the weight you're carrying feels heavier lately. Maybe it's anxiety that won't quiet. Burnout from giving everything to everyone else. Boundaries you struggle to set. Or the realization that your relationship with money, work, and self-worth are all connected in ways you're just beginning to understand.
You don't have to keep navigating this alone.
I'm Brittany, a Licensed Social Worker educated at Fordham University and a Certified Financial Social Worker. As one of a limited number of CFSWs, I offer a unique integration that most therapists can't: addressing both the emotional roots and financial realities of the challenges you're facing.
Why this matters: Money concerns don't exist in a vacuum. They're deeply intertwined with our self-worth, boundaries, relationships, trauma history, and the stories we've internalized about what we deserve. When we address only the emotional piece or only the practical piece, we miss the fuller picture of healing and growth.
I specialize in supporting clients navigating:
The intersection of financial stress and mental health
Anxiety and adjustment disorders
Burnout and emotional exhaustion
Boundary issues and people-pleasing patterns
Emotional abuse and trauma recovery
Confidence and self-esteem challenges
Life transitions (career changes, relationships, financial shifts)
What should a new client know about working with you?
My person-centered, culturally responsive approach honors your unique story and lived experience. Whether you're healing from past trauma, rebuilding after emotional abuse, working through anxiety tied to financial insecurity, or simply trying to understand why certain patterns keep repeating—I create a safe space where you can explore not just what you're feeling, but why, and how to move forward with greater clarity and strength.
With experience serving diverse cultures and communities, and as a member of the New York State Society for Clinical Social Work, I'm committed to evidence-based practices and ongoing professional development. My empathic approach allows me to listen deeply and help you make connections between your emotional experiences and the practical challenges you're navigating.
When you're ready, I'm here.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Once booked, you will receive three emails from Wellness Counseling Services, LCSW, PLLC one through our online platform, SimplePractice inviting you to our client portal. There you will complete all necessary consents for treatment, your demographic information, and your personalized intake questionnaire to initiate the intake process. Please complete and submit all necessary documentation at least 24 hours before your scheduled appointment time to allow the clinician to review your reasons for entering into therapy at this time and to complete your two initial intake sessions the first time that you meet.
You will also recieve an email from our Administrative Team with our Welcome Letter Attached as well as a introductory email from your chosen therapist at our practice.
Please try to complete all documents and information before your initial session with our clinicians. Should you have any trouble doing so, you may log on to your booked appointment through the SimplePractice Portal or give the mainline a call and the therapist will help you through the initial process. The two sequential appointments after will then be used to completed your intake assessment. We look forward to working with you!
