New to Grow
Hello! My name is Brayton Wooters, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor specialized in working with teens, students, and young adults navigating anxiety, identity, and major life transitions. I create a collaborative space rooted in curiosity, cultural responsiveness, and trauma-informed care. I integrate client-centered, strength-based strategies to help clients build confidence and clarity. I provide a supportive space where you can talk openly, feel understood, and begin moving toward greater confidence, clarity, and a stronger sense of self.
Working with me is collaborative, conversational, and tailored to your pace. We'll start by getting to know each other and identifying what matters most to you. Progress doesn’t always look dramatic; often, it’s feeling more like yourself again and moving toward the version of you that feels most comfortable. Clients often feel relief in reconnecting with themselves and gaining direction. When you’re ready, we can take the next step together.
I first saw a therapist as a teenager and again as a college student. Those experiences were game changers for me and lit the passion necessary to make therapy my career! Since then, I’ve provided therapy in diverse settings, including a hospital cancer center, homeless youth shelter, multiple schools (K–12), outpatient clinics and most recently NCAA Division One Athletics. I’ve worked with a wide range of ages and challenges—from trauma to transitions—which has shaped me into a flexible, grounded clinician. My broad experience helps me meet clients where they are with clarity and confidence. I like to utilize humor, and an authentic perspective to help my clients feel connected and cared for.
You might be feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, uncertainty, or the pressure of trying to figure out who you are and where you’re headed. Big transitions involving school, relationships, identity, or adulthood can leave you feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure of yourself. You don’t have to do this alone. I provide a supportive space where you can talk openly, feel understood, and begin moving toward greater confidence, clarity, and a stronger sense of self.

Other specialties
I identify as
Trauma-Focused CBT
I have received extensive training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). Because trauma can impact so many aspects of our lives, I keep it as just one of the many tools in my kit. I primarily pull from these methods when a client’s specific trauma history warrants a more structured, evidence-based approach to processing those experiences.
Attachment-based
I often lean into attachment-based work because understanding how we connect with others is fundamental to navigating almost any struggle. I use this lens to help clients identify and shift the relational dynamics that are currently keeping them stuck.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I treat CBT as the bedrock for identifying and dismantling the unhelpful thought patterns that keep my clients stagnant. I often utilize CBT in giving clients a practical, grounded framework to evaluate their assumptions and build better habits of mind.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
I approach Person-centered therapy as the foundation for my work, not just a passive listening exercise. Person-centered approach is about meeting my clients where they are, assessing what is most important to them, and what they would like to achieve.
Positive Psychology
I don’t use positive psychology as a hollow exercise in "toxic positivity" or ignoring reality. Instead, I apply it as a pragmatic tool for identifying and leveraging a client's existing strengths to build genuine psychological resilience.
