Britt Carilli, LCSW, LICSW
Hey, hi! My name is Britt (she/they) and I'm and I'm a queer, nonbinary, AuDHD, and Disabled therapist who specializes in working with complex and single-incident trauma, self-esteem, and big existential questions around identity and purpose.
Who I Work With
When you survive harsh experiences, it's common to feel disconnected from people you love, yourself, or the world around you. You may feel unfulfilled or lost in your own life, and lose sleep at night over big questions like “what's the point” or “why am I here.” Trauma can be an experience that shakes your ability to trust yourself and make otherwise welcome ventures in life appear unsafe. Traditional talk therapies may have felt limited, ineffective, or inadequate for addressing your needs in the past, or may have left you feeling stuck in your growth.
If you resonate, you're not alone. Like you, many of my clients- and myself- have felt the same.
I work with individual adults (18+), families, and couples who have survived trauma and are looking for a soft, welcoming place to process and heal. Folx who choose me as a therapist are tired of feeling simultaneously “not enough” and “too much,” and want to start living a life that aligns with their values. My therapy space is open to all, and is home especially for LGBTQIA2S+, neurodivergent, Disabled, and racialized folx whose identities are most linked to systemic violence and neglect.
How I Roll
As a neurodivergent therapist, I believe therapy is a place to unmask and I practice this in sessions by using fidgets, not forcing eye contact for myself and others, and using comfortable headphones. I'm down-to-earth and usually pop into sessions sipping an iced coffee or energy drink and wearing a 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!
