Brittany Morris is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a private practice in Richmond, VA where she is excited to work with individuals and couples to help them live their best lives. While she specializes in eating disorders/eating issues, LGBTQIA+ issues, anxiety, life transitions and chronic illness, many clients bring emotional pain or feelings of stuckness that impact their daily functioning and feelings of success. Together, Brittany helps support clients look deep within themselves to understand and heal from their past painful experiences, give up survival mode and re-engage their loved ones and themselves in meaningful ways. Therapy sessions with Brittany integrate insight oriented, person based approaches with humor and warmth. She gently challenges clients to get to the root of their symptoms, gain personal insight into patterns and take an active role in their healing while also focusing on self-care and making adjustments as you need them. Brittany has worked in many settings including schools, inpatient hospitals, outpatient, rehabilitation facilities and with active duty military members and their families stateside and overseas. This experience has helped her feel comfortable with many different populations while finding specialties in eating disorders/eating issues, LGBTQIA+ issues, anxiety and chronic illnesses and life transitions with all ages and many different cultures. She brings a non traditional approach to therapy allowing clients to feel safe, supported and open which allows sessions to feel like a safe harbor for them. Brittany is committed to serving a diverse range of individuals and breaking the stigma of mental health care. With her personal and professional experiences, she understands the choice to go to therapy is HUGE and you deserve to heal, grow and become who you want to be!

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, we will complete an intake to gather appropriate information to create your tailored therapy approach. While it may seem like a waste of a session to have an intake, I find it allows people to be more honest and feel better understood with no preconceived judgments. By the end of the session, rapport has begun to be established and we can begin to discuss goals and expectations.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I have been in the mental health field for about 14 years and have been described as many clients as "nontraditional." During this time, I have been able to settle into an eclectic, personalized therapy approach with my clients. As client's worlds eb and flow, I like to utilize multiple treatment intervention to fit the client's best need. I believe humor is healing and has a very important place in the therapy session. I have worked in many sessions with all ages, gender identities and backgrounds in hopes to provide the most culturally compete care possible. I want clients to look forward to therapy by making sure you have a voice. The relationship with the client is extremely important and collaboration is key. I encourage feedback and I am always willing to pivot if you feel you need it.
