Brittany Rizzo, LMFT

Psychotherapist
CA
Hi there, I'm Brittany! I provide collaborative therapy for adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, and self-worth concerns. My focus Clients who are seeking to understand and change longstanding patterns in how they relate to themselves and others, including patterns of people-pleasing, perfectionism, self-criticism, difficulty with boundaries, and feeling disconnected from their own needs. My approach My approach integrates humanistic, attachment-based, CBT, and mindfulness therapies, in an aim to create a grounded, compassionate space where you feel seen and can move toward meaningful change. My communication style Warm, genuine, and collaborative. I communicate with empathy, curiosity, and honesty while creating space for clients to feel heard and understood. I value open dialogue and offer thoughtful reflection, gentle challenge, and practical support when helpful. My journey to mental healthcare My journey into therapy began with a curiosity about human resilience and a desire to help others find strength through life’s challenges. Working with trauma survivors showed me the power of therapy in healing. I’m driven by the belief that everyone has the capacity for growth, healing, and lasting change. My goals for you I help clients reach their goals by building insight into patterns, identifying what may be getting in the way, and translating that awareness into meaningful, sustainable change. Together, we clarify what matters most, break larger goals into manageable steps, and build skills that support greater confidence, flexibility, and follow-through. Our first session Our first session is a chance to slow down and understand what brings you to therapy. I use a collaborative, phenomenological exploration to understand your experience, including thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and patterns. We’ll identify what feels most important and begin creating goals and direction together.
