Brittany Willey, PhD

Welcome! My name is Dr. Brittany Willey (she/her), and I’m a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in the treatment of trauma/PTSD, anxiety, and depression. If you are navigating the complex aftermath of a traumatic experience, the messiness of life transitions, or trying to find your footing amidst depression, perfectionism, fear, shame, and self-doubt, I am here for you.

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and utilizes evidence-based approaches grounded in a cognitive-behavioral framework (such as Prolonged Exposure, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and relying heavily on Motivational Interviewing). I understand the importance of a strong relationship with your therapist, especially because our experiences of trauma can so profoundly affect our relationships with others. I aim to cultivate a space where you can be (or reclaim!) your authentic self and build a life you are enthusiastic about.

My clinical work has taken place in specialty medical clinics, the VA system, correctional settings, inpatient and residential settings, and most recently as an integrated behavioral health provider in primary care. I have specialized training in treating PTSD, with specific expertise in Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE), Prolonged Exposure Therapy for Primary Care (PE-PC), and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT).

I care deeply about serving the LGBTQIA+ community and my practice is inclusive and welcoming to individuals of all sexual orientations and gender identities. I am committed to creating a safe and affirming space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences, and where your identity is respected and valued.

Thank you for being here. Although your load is heavy, you do not have to carry it alone.
