Meet Britney
Britney (she/her/hers) is not currently taking on new clients, except for those interested in ketamine-assisted therapy.
I am passionate about helping people meet their potential and become the very best versions of themselves.
I started Alternative Therapeutics in 2018 with the vision to provide my community with modern, evidence-based services for addressing mental and cognitive health. Through a combination of traditional counseling methods, modern neuroscience techniques and state of the art technologies, we allow individuals to take back control of their brain and body.
As a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with Supervisory status (LPCC-S) and Board Certified Neurofeedback Clinician (BCN), I combine my expert knowledge in neuroscience with traditional therapy approaches and a passion for teaching others holistic mental health tools to help people meet their goals and improve their lives.
My most recent areas of passion and study are psychedelic-assisted therapy and retreats as well as Internal Family Systems (IFS).
