Brittany Kirk, LCSW

Choosing to be vulnerable and working through mental health challenges are hard as hell; I want to make it easier. I am going to take your lead, and we are going to go at your pace as we venture into unknown territory. I will listen. I won’t judge. I will not tell you what to do or how to do it. I will help you develop a plan that you agree with, and we will follow that plan. We might need to adjust the plan along the way—that is to be expected as you grow in this journey. I will not solve your problems for you, but I will make them more bearable as I sit alongside you. I will teach you skills and methods that have been proven to work. And if they don’t work, we will keep searching until we find what does work for you—together. I will not give up. I will put your best interests first. We will find the answers. You are not alone. 

I’m not your mother’s therapist, to be frank. I can be if she needs one, but I enjoy living in the corners and at the fringes of what stereotypical therapy might look like. It is important to me that those who are outcasts, quirky, different, neurodivergent, LGBTQ+, and the marginalized feel heard. When we work together, I want you to feel like you matter (because you do). If you like the utilization of tarot and oracle cards, we can incorporate that. If you need resources on affirming places to practice spirituality, we can look at those. If you want to talk about kink communities and how to get involved with them, we can find them. Whatever works for you works for me, and I want to help you figure that out. 

I have a wide range of interests and specializations including, but not limited to, the following: LGBTQ+, faith and questions/doubts/fears around religion/religious trauma/exploration, neurodivergent folks, kink-allied/sex-positive/sexual dysfunction, self-esteem/body positivity, teenagers, crisis/suicidality, college students, young adults, geriatrics, end of life/death/dying, grief, caregivers, adult children of alcoholics, borderline personality disorder (BPD), attachment/boundaries/self-care, chronic pain and illness, depression, anxiety, self-harm, and stress. I work with ages 13-100, and I utilize the following methods: ACT (acceptance commitment therapy), solution-focused, person in environment, eclectic, narrative, motivational interviewing, strengths-based, feminist, somatic, Jungian, and psychodynamic. I strongly believe in the power of finding your outlet. As a contemporary poet, I encourage spoken word, music, writing, and all other forms of creativity as it pertains to healing.
