Meet Britten Andrews
I practice from a culturally responsive, trauma-informed, and strengths-based perspective, integrating evidence-based approaches including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).
I am Level 1 trained in Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) and have a particular interest in trauma, attachment, and somatic approaches. In sessions, I enjoy incorporating DBT, artistic forms of therapy, and somatic work.
