Getting to know Brittney Walker

Hi there, I'm Brittney! I am licensed in California with nine years of therapy experience. I help clients with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma, and abuse. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique needs. Taking the first step to seek a happier life takes courage, and I am here to support you. I bring a unique approach by embracing the Afrocentric perspective and provide culturally sensitive therapy to minorities through education from an HBCU, my experience as a minority from the inner city, and my Master's in Social Work from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. I have worked with adults aged 18 to 85 from diverse ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds. I am here to de-stigmatize mental health and encourage having a therapist! My approach I use Client-Centered/Person-Centered Therapy because it's all about you! I enjoy Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address thoughts that underlie problematic behavior. Therapy is always Compassion Focused. I use Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness techniques, and incorporate strength-based and trauma-focused methods. I also offer couples therapy! My focus I work with clients dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, racial identity/trauma, cultural stress, family conflict, job stress, life transitions, adolescents, and teens. My communication style I maintain open communication with a natural tone that adjusts to empower you! I use reflective listening. I'm laid back yet high energy. You'll feel like talking to an old friend because I'm easy to talk to. My journey to mental healthcare I first wanted to be a nurse but realized it wasn't for me. Then I considered becoming a school teacher.
