Meet Our Team: Brittany Bell, APC, NCC
You are not alone. I see you. I hear you. And, yes, I understand.
A wise person once said, “Sometimes you have to lose your mind to gain peace of mind.” What if, on your journey back to peace, sanity, and being you again, you had somebody who was intentional about seeing, hearing, and understanding you, the realist version of you? What if you had somebody you trusted to validate and motivate when validation and motivation are necessary while educating when education is required and providing guidance where guidance is needed? What if you found someone with the modalities to be your personal somebody? I see you. I hear you. And even when I can’t relate, I try to understand. So, allow me to be your person or your personal somebody who provides peace in the midst of anxiety, confusion, doubt, fear, rage, grief, etc.
In our counseling relationship, I commit to being a passenger on your life journey to peace and healing, guiding and supporting you along the way. Let's take a road trip discussing in detail all the experiences and moments that contributed to the good and the bad that make you you. For the experiences that led to trauma, let’s walk and talk about it. When you can’t find the words to express your feelings, let’s listen to music, your choice, and talk about how it made you feel and why. You’re completely drained and just want to free your mind, let's meditate and/or journal. You just want to vent. I’ve been there too. Come see me. The prosperity of your journey to change is contingent upon you. You are the best version of yourself when your needs are being met. So, regardless of how old or young you are or what you're going through, your time to endure, heal, and grow begins now. Say goodbye to the old you and hello to the new and improved version of you.
My therapeutic approach centers around the core of who I am as a whole being. I pride myself on creating and maintaining a welcoming, safe space for peace. This safe space is filled with compassion, empathy, understanding, and is free of judgment. My personal experiences with trauma assist me in my understanding, patience, and empathy towards others. I welcome your authenticity into an unbiased space where you can speak freely from your heart and mind about any and all struggles and transgressions you have experienced and endured. "Beneath every behavior is a feeling. And beneath every feeling is a need. And when we meet that need rather than focus on the behavior, we begin to deal with the cause, not the symptom." If you promise to be intentional about communicating your needs, acknowledging your feelings, and taking accountability for your behavior, I commit to doing my due diligence in meeting those needs to promote peace and a never-ending journey of healing.
I procured my professional education at Mercer University as a double Bear. I have two Master's Degrees, MS in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and MS in Organizational Leadership. I am certified as a National Certified Counselor (NCC) and licensed as an Associate Professional Counselor (APC) in the State of Georgia.
