Britt McGonagle, MS, LPC
Psychotherapist
National Certified Counselor (NCC)
Mental Health Professional
I’m a laid back, tell-it-like-it-is, empathetic, and enthusiastic human both outside and inside the clinical setting. We’re all on our own journey. Having experienced marginalization in my own eclectic past, I understand firsthand the impact this can have on a person’s mental health. Thus, driving my passion to work with individuals to break and move beyond the stigmas around mental health struggles. I pride myself in building strong, authentic, trusting therapeutic relationships. If I could be of any assistance in the growth toward whatever goals you are seeking in life, then I’d be honored to join you on your journey.
I understand recovery is not linear. Each individual human comes with their own set of needs, wants, strengths, hopes, and dreams. I believe in the importance of treating the whole person, ensuring you feel seen, heard, and valued. My goal is to help you identify your goals and work toward achieving them; creating a plan for treatment that feels both relevant and attainable to you. I find joy in helping people to increase their confidence, perception of self, and overall life satisfaction by better understanding their emotions and what makes them tick.
I have clinical history working with individuals in late childhood through late adulthood, in a myriad if settings ranging from inpatient residential, post-hospitalization, in clinic, and community based. I welcome all clients, meeting you where you are on your individual path, working to minimize your unique symptoms. I use a compilation of traditional reality-focused psychotherapy modalities such as DBT and trauma-informed-care, to more nontraditional techniques involving art, music, and movement.
