Our services:

  • Depression

    Oftentimes when people are suffering from depression, they may feel isolated and alone, lack energy and feel fatigued. All of these factors can make the process of seeking out the right professional support can seem daunting. Especially if the individual is feeling misunderstood or judged by their loved ones. However, the right therapist can alleviate all of these hesitations and concerns. Connections Counseling knows how to help others overcome depression by implementing strategies to improve self-care, self-esteem, and eliminate negative self-talk patterns. All paving the way for positivity to take the lead.

  • Anxiety

    For someone who is dealing with anxiety, the thought of opening up about your life to a complete stranger can be anxiety provoking in and of itself. For this reason, Connections Counseling works to create a space where there is no judgment or shame. It’s about finding ways to help clients overcome all the second guessing and to get a handle on feeling overwhelmed or alone. When the anxiety is deprived of its control, you will have the ability to feel more confident, to be more present, to have healthier relationships and to ultimately gain a sense of freedom.

  • Trauma

    When you go through a traumatic experience, it is common to feel a sense of hopelessness with the belief that things will never be the same again. Many people rely on denial or avoidance to help cope with the negative memories. It may seem to help for the short-term, but it’s no way to live. Connections Counseling understands that it’s impossible to erase what happened, but it is possible to change how you relate to it. Trauma therapy can help you look outside of the experience, set boundaries and show up for yourself authentically so you realize your power and strength.

  • EMDR

    I am a Certified EMDR Therapist through EMDRIA, trained in using Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help clients process and heal from trauma, anxiety, and distressing life experiences. This evidence-based approach is highly effective in reducing emotional reactivity and fostering long-term healing. If you're feeling stuck or overwhelmed by past events, EMDR can offer a path forward.

  • Brainspotting

    Brainspotting is a powerful therapy approach designed to help process trauma, anxiety, and emotional blocks by using eye position to access deeper areas of the brain where distress can be stored. It can support healing from past experiences, reduce overwhelming symptoms, and improve emotional regulation. Many clients find it helpful when they feel “stuck” despite talking through issues. Sessions are gentle, client-centered, and paced to match your comfort level. Brainspotting can help create lasting change by allowing the mind and body to process experiences at a deeper level.

  • Skill Training

    The definition of skill is the ability to do something well. A certain level of expertise. Connections Counseling understands the power of having the right tools to better handle all of life’s situations and emotions. Helping each client to obtain and refine coping skills, communication skills, self-esteem skills, conflict resolution skills and more to achieve an overall state of wellbeing.

  • Grief

    Coping with the loss of someone or something you love is one of life’s biggest challenges. It can take a toll on your physical and mental health, making it difficult to sleep, eat, or find joy in activities. Everyone grieves differently. While there is no right or wrong way to handle grief, there are healthy ways to cope with the pain. Connections Counseling can help you realize that it is possible, with time, to come to terms with your loss. In easing your sadness and finding new meaning, you can ultimately find a way to move forward with your life.

  • Pregnancy & Postpartum Mental Health

    The perinatal period refers to the duration of a woman’s pregnancy as well as the weeks and months following birth. As exciting and joyful as it is to welcome a newborn into this world, it can also be extremely overwhelming. Experiencing some amount of anxiety and stress is normal, but when these conditions become overly frequent or intense, they can begin to negatively impact an individual’s wellbeing. Brittany Katz is trained to help clients navigate the challenges experienced by new parents, modify unproductive thoughts, and foster social support.

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a type of psychotherapy that is based on the idea that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are all interconnected. CBT helps people to identify and change negative thinking patterns and behaviors in order to improve their emotional well-being.

    CBT is a highly effective treatment for a wide range of mental health problems, including: Anxiety disorders, Depression, Eating disorders, Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

    CBT is a collaborative process between the therapist and the client. The therapist helps the client to identify their negative thinking patterns and behaviors, and to develop new, more helpful ways of thinking and behaving. The client also works actively to practice these new skills in their everyday life.

    CBT is a very practical therapy, and clients learn skills that they can use to manage their symptoms and improve their lives.

    EMDR

    Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a highly effective form of therapy for trauma and other psychological disorders. It is a relatively new therapy, developed in the late 1980s, but it has quickly become one of the most widely used and well-researched trauma treatments in the world.

    EMDR works by helping people to reprocess traumatic memories and experiences so that they no longer cause distress. The therapy is typically administered in a series of sessions, during which the client focuses on the traumatic memory while engaging in bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements, tapping, or tones. The bilateral stimulation helps to activate the brain's natural healing processes, allowing the client to process the memory and move on from it.

    EMDR has been shown to be effective for a wide range of trauma-related disorders, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression, and phobias. It has also been used to treat other conditions, such as chronic pain, eating disorders, and grief.

    Parts and Memory Therapy

    Parts and Memory Therapy (PMT) is a powerful and effective psychotherapy for healing trauma and other psychological problems. It is based on the idea that the mind is made up of many different parts, each with its own unique thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Some of these parts may be wounded or traumatized, and they may be causing problems in our lives.

    PMT helps people to identify and connect with their different parts, and to understand how they are affecting their lives. It also helps people to heal their wounded parts and to create a more integrated and harmonious mind.

    PMT is a relatively new therapy, but it has been shown to be very effective in treating a wide range of problems, including: Trauma, PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, and Relationship problems.

    PMT is a collaborative process between the therapist and the client. The therapist helps the client to identify their different parts, to understand their needs, and to heal their wounds. The client also works actively to learn new coping skills and to make changes in their lives.

  • Brainspotting

    Brainspotting is a focused and powerful therapy approach designed to help people process trauma, anxiety, stress, and emotional blocks at a deeper level. It works by identifying specific eye positions that connect to areas of the brain where difficult experiences or distress may be stored. By accessing these deeper brain-body responses, healing can occur beyond traditional talk therapy alone. Brainspotting can be helpful for trauma, panic, relationship stress, grief, low self-esteem, and feeling stuck in recurring patterns. Many clients choose it when they understand their struggles logically but still feel emotionally triggered. Sessions are client-centered, gentle, and paced according to your comfort and readiness. You do not need to share every detail of your experiences for the work to be effective. During sessions, attention is given to both emotional responses and body sensations, allowing the nervous system to process and release stored distress. Many people report feeling lighter, calmer, and more grounded after sessions. Brainspotting can also help improve confidence, clarity, and emotional regulation. It is often integrated with other approaches such as talk therapy, EMDR-informed care, and mindfulness techniques. Each session is tailored to your unique goals and needs. Whether you are healing from the past or navigating present stress, Brainspotting can be a powerful tool for meaningful change. Our goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where healing can happen at your pace.

Connections Counseling embraces collaboration. Therapy is not about telling clients what to do, but paving the way for them to find clarity and comfort.

In order to achieve different results, you must be willing to change your approach. Brittany works with her clients to find strategies that resonate and prove effective for the individual. These approaches typically include:
