I graduated from the School of Hard Knocks so you don't have to

I was an over-giver, I overexplained, I changed to fit what someone else wanted, I betrayed myself over and over, and I stayed way too long in unhealthy relationships. 

I know what it's like to abandon yourself because you so badly want the relationship to work. If you're struggling with relationship patterns or trauma, my story of holding on longer and blaming myself can help you see you're not alone in these experiences. 

I know what its like to grow up queer and have the world tell you that your love is wrong. I had to write "girls don't kiss girls" 100 times in 1st grade. I was raised with religion and abuse that taught me it was normal to hide who I was and play a part to make other people like me. 

I know what it's like to party hard as a way of coping with years of trauma and suppressing authenticity. Like, through drinking and drugs was the only way to feel brave enough to be slightly more like myself. 

Several mental B's finally led me to do the internal work of coming out, facing what I suppressed, and stopping the use of substances as a way to cope. 

I went from being the party girl who was easy-going to being sober, openly bisexual and polyamorous, who holds her boundaries, asks for what she wants, and brings up the hard conversations.

I've done the professional learning and personal development to find my voice, my confidence, and understand the subconscious patterns that my childhood trauma created for me. I incorporate evidence-based techniques like CBT and Psychodynamic Therapy through a trauma-informed lens to guide your healing process.  

Hi, Brittaney Latta, LMFT 

I'm an openly bi, poly, addict in recovery, survivor turned codependency expert, therapist & coach with an online practice in California. I create an inclusive space where you can feel comfortable exploring and growing.

I'm here to help you do the deep work to uncover your subconscious patterns, childhood trauma, and the influences of growing up in a cis-het world. If you’re ready for real change, welcome to Your Therapy Room!

It’s hard living in a world where everyone has an opinion

I find creative personalities, alternative lifestyles, queer (gender & sexuality) people, Kinky/ENM folks, and Neurodiverse individuals often resonate with my direct and honest style. I enjoy giving advice and homework, though I'm not a therapist here to just let you vent. 

Many clients start therapy unsure if it's the right step or struggle to find a therapist they connect with. I enjoy working with open-minded clients who see the world differently than most. 

Clients who come to me are ready to put in the effort to make meaningful changes outside of the therapy room. Lasting change doesn't come from just one hour of work per week. It's like the gym: Consistency is what gets you results, and I believe in your capacity to achieve that.

Creatives, queer people, and trauma survivors all have a common thread: Trying to make everyone happy at the expense of their own happiness. These personality types show an incredible ability to mask and bury emotions deep down.

I create an inclusive space where I gently hold you accountable for your goals in therapy. I will take any lengthy story you share and use it as a map to uncover clues that lead us to solutions, helping you feel safe and supported on your journey. 

You must be ready to talk about trauma, uncover mindsets that hold you back, and create new habits that cause you to find your voice and take charge of your success in life. 

If you can commit to three to six months in therapy with me, we can make some beautiful changes together.

About Brittaney Latta, LMFT

I’ve been there and understand where you are.

When you come from a unique walk of life, it’s essential to find a therapist who understands you and doesn’t cause you more trauma. Is it my psychology education, extensive work background with severe trauma, or unique lived experience that helps me get you? Probably all of the above!

Clients tend to feel safe opening up with me because I am honest and affirming, and I’ve sat where they sit. I’ve had to overcome my demons and struggles to get to the other side, from just surviving to thriving!

Here’s a brief resume

I received a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from California State University, Channel Islands, and a Master of Arts in Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from Phillips Graduate University.

I have a license (#114087) as a Marriage and Family Therapist. I also have training and certifications in Trauma-Focused Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, LGBTQ+ issues, and complex trauma.

I am a member of several professional associations, including the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists, Out Professionals San Diego, the San Diego Equality Business Association, and the National LGBTQ+ & Allied Chamber of Commerce.

Finally, I've been recognized as an LGBTQ+ Leader of Influence by the San Diego Business Journal in 2025. I graduated from San Diego Pride's Pride Empowerment Academy in 2025.
