Brittany Becker, LMHC

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with extensive experience in supporting clients with complex clinical presentations, particularly young adults and their families. For years, I have worked to support clients and communities across New York City and Long Island, including as the Director of an intensive therapeutic center, a group facilitator in an OASAS-licensed outpatient facility, and the community education and prevention specialist for a non-profit focused on substance abuse issues. I am eager to bring all of my knowledge and the enthusiasm I have for the mental health field into my own private practice! I believe that too few people have the space they need to feel and heal. This can be true whether you’re someone who is struggling or you have somebody in your life who is. Everyone is unique, and you deserve the space to share your story and receive the support needed to learn and grow into the healthiest and most authentic version of yourself. I work collaboratively with people to strengthen their sense of self and help them feel equipped with the necessary coping skills to manage all life transitions. I have special interests in grief work, parenting, life skills/“adulting,” career exploration, and mentoring young mental health professionals. I also specialize in providing psychoeducation to families about the complexities of their loved one’s mental health, including explaining options for treatment and teaching family members how they can best support their loved one through their own behavioral changes. I am also a mother, a partner, a friend, a daughter, and a mentor. I’m frequently people’s first call when they need a dose of positivity, some healthy perspective, and clear action steps to help them move forward from their problems, whether those problems are as simple as momentary frustrations or as complex as past trauma experiences. I believe in venturing beyond clinical textbooks, embracing my own experiences and collaborative brainstorming to craft personalized solutions. My therapeutic approach is person-centered with different skills and therapeutic techniques pulled from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), motivational interviewing, and executive functioning. Warmth and intuition are hallmarks of my approach, creating a space where clients feel deeply understood and heard. Creative expression and problem-solving are integral to my practice. People often confide in me, recognizing my stability, unwavering support, and my ability to act as a partner in their journey towards mental well-being. My non-judgmental presence and consistent demeanor establish a safe and predictable environment where they feel empowered to confront their challenges and embark on the path to healing.
