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 complex and single-incident trauma, self-esteem, mood challenges, and big existential questions around identity and purpose.
Who I Work With
Many folx navigate life feeling like nobody else has truly seen or understood their identity or suffering. When you're deeply wounded, you disconnect from people you love, yourself, or the world around you. You 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.” 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 individual adults and teens (ages 15+) who 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-- starting with a therapy space that honors them as they are. My therapy space is open to people of all marginalized identities, and is home especially for LGBTQIA2S+, neurodivergent, Disabled, and racialized, Black, or Brown folx whose identities 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!
