About Brittany Deutch, LPC, ATR-BC
I’m a licensed therapist, mixed-media artist, and workshop leader who believes that life can feel better.
Hi! My name is Brittany. I love exploring new places, whether in my community or by traveling long distances. I enjoy meeting new people and learning about their life, culture and experiences.
One of my favorite things in the world is listening to someone talk about a topic they are passionate about. I get excited when I cook a delicious meal and even more excited when I can share that meal with others. You can usually find me outside in nature, creating art, or sitting on my couch watching multiple episodes of whatever TV show I am into in that moment. I am a dog lover who has learned to also love kitty cuddles.
In a stressful world, I am always looking to incorporate activities in my life that will bring me small moments of joy.
How I work
I believe that you are the expert of your own experiences and everyone has their true inner knowing. As we move through life other things begin to cloud that knowing (anxiety, depression, family’s expectations and other life experiences). I will work alongside you to get to know those experiences, because when we do, it becomes less cloudy and we can see that knowing more clearly.
Together, we will bring out that inner wisdom and strength to give yourself permission to take ownership over your own life.
Who I work with
Over the course of my career, I've had the privilege of working with a diverse array of individuals, including those facing challenges such as depression, anxiety, and substance use, as well as individuals experiencing homelessness and survivors of trauma.
Many clients have entered therapy expressing concerns about the complexity of their experiences. I want you to know that I've listened to and supported individuals dealing with a wide range of issues. I encourage you to use our therapy space as you see fit. Whether it's to delve into recent matters or address long-standing concerns, this is your space to explore your unique therapeutic journey.
The first session is different than all our other sessions. In the first session, we will take time to get to know each other. I will ask questions to get to know you and tell you a little about myself and my therapy style. We will take this time to expand on the assessment you completed before session and discuss what brings you into my office. We will then talk about some of your goals for therapy and what you are looking to get out of our time together.
What to expect
My investment
I am deeply committed to my clients' well-being, and I make it a priority to bring authenticity and presence to every session. To maintain the highest quality of care, I intentionally limit my client caseload, scheduling limited clients each day to prevent therapist burnout. In my dedication to professional growth and excellence, I regularly engage in professional consultation, personal therapy, seek peer support, and pursue advanced training.

Brittany Deutch, LPC, ATR-BC
Divorce Therapist | Trauma-Informed Care | LGBTQ+ Affirming TherapistBrittany Deutch, LPC, ATR-BC, has been working in the mental health field since 2012, bringing over a decade of clinical experience across multiple levels of care. Her background includes work in inpatient psychiatric hospitals, residential treatment programs, intensive outpatient (IOP/PHP) settings for substance use and mental health, community-based programs, and group private practice.
Early in her career, Brittany worked closely with vulnerable and underserved populations, including unhoused youth ages 16–24, survivors of sexual abuse at a Child Advocacy Center, and young adults navigating crisis stabilization and transitional living environments. These experiences shaped her trauma-informed lens and deepened her understanding of how instability, relational wounds, and systemic stress impact long-term emotional wellbeing.
Through this diverse clinical foundation, Brittany developed particular expertise in supporting individuals navigating complex life transitions — especially those involving relational loss, identity shifts, and trauma recovery. Her work now centers on helping adults move through divorce and relationship dissolution with clarity, emotional resilience, and self-trust.
Brittany integrates trauma-informed principles throughout her work and understands that divorce is rarely just a legal process — it is often layered with grief, attachment wounds, betrayal, identity disruption, and anxiety about the future. Her clinical approach is grounded, compassionate, and structured, offering both emotional support and practical tools to help clients rebuild stability during uncertain times.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor and Board-Certified Art Therapist, Brittany brings a nuanced understanding of how experiences are stored not just cognitively, but emotionally and somatically. She works collaboratively with clients to process painful experiences, strengthen coping skills, and foster sustainable growth beyond the crisis point.
Clients often describe Brittany as steady, thoughtful, and deeply attuned. Her goal is to create a therapeutic space where individuals feel both supported and challenged — a space where meaningful healing and forward movement become possible.
