Britt Carilli, LCSW, LICSW
Hey, hi! My name is Britt (she/they) and I'm a queer, nonbinary, AuDHD, and Disabled therapist who specializes in working with trauma, self-esteem, and big existential questions around identity and purpose.
Who I Work With
Many people navigate life feeling like nobody else has truly seen them. Your lived experiences may have taught you to protect yourself by pushing people away, pretend you don't have needs, or to be the person who's always there for others-- but never be the person who needs support from others. You may feel isolated, burnt out, suicidal, or hopeless that anyone in life can show up for you the same way you show up for others. This is trauma. Trauma can be an experience that shakes your ability to trust yourself and make otherwise welcome ventures in life appear unsafe.
If you resonate, you're not alone. Most of my clients- and myself- have felt the same.
I work with adults and teens (ages 15+) who are looking for a soft, welcoming place in which they can learn to take up space. Folx who choose me as a therapist are looking to disrupt the cycles in their life that make them feel disconnected. My therapy space is open to neurodivergent, LGBTQIA2S+, Disabled, and Global Majority-identified folx whose lives are most linked to systemic violence and neglect.
How I Roll
As a multiply-neurodivergent therapist, I believe therapy should be a safe place to unmask and I practice this in sessions by using fidgets, not forcing eye contact for myself and others, and showing up comfortably dressed (because I focus best when I'm physically comfy, and I bet you do too). I'm down-to-earth and usually pop into sessions sipping an iced coffee from my fave local place or a Monster energy drink and wearing jeans and a t-shirt or hoodie. My therapy style is warm, validating, collaborative, and relational, because life is too short for therapy that is cold, detached, and generic.
You're the expert of your own lived experience and my biggest challenge and honor is to get you to see that, too. If you're looking for a therapist who shows up as an authentic human being with you, we could be a compatible fit!
