About Brithany | They/them

Brithany is a compassionate clinician dedicated to creating a warm, open, and inclusive space for healing. Their approach is grounded in radical love and acceptance, offering clients the freedom to explore their most authentic selves in a safe, nonjudgmental environment. Brithany works with Queer, Trans, BIPOC, and neurodivergent individuals, and is passionate about fostering deep, long-term therapeutic relationships. With clinical experience that includes time working at Kaiser, Brithany has had the privilege of supporting individuals through a wide range of challenges. Having worked with individuals of all ages and diverse backgrounds, they’re now excited to step into private practice, seeking to offer an even more open-minded, flexible, and human-centered approach. As a child of Indonesian immigrants, their personal experience with religious trauma and the complexities of intersectionality deeply inform their work. As a trans nonbinary person, they bring a nuanced understanding of gender identity and are open to all gender experiences but lend themselves particularly to the queer community, helping individuals explore their relationship to gender no matter how they identify. This exploration often includes uncovering who we are within the world and our systems. Brithany’s goal is to help clients grow into their most confident, authentic, and loving selves. They view therapy as a collaborative process, one that can unfold over time to help individuals navigate life’s challenges, heal from past wounds, and meet the self-accepting and self-loving version of themselves. When not in the therapy room, Brithany enjoys playing D&D with their friends and dabbling in all things occult and magickal.

Message to clients

It's an honor to bear witness to and hold radically loving and accepting space for my people, my community, for the queer-trans, BIPOC, disabled peoples who loved and raised me, who fought for me so that I could be the person, activist and therapist I am today. It is my passion to serve those like me, who have been marginalized and unseen, so that they can have a reflection that looks like them help challenge them in their healing, growth and self-fulfillment. I look forward to hearing from you and connecting!
