About Therapy with Me

Ready to handle the crap life throws at you in a whole new way?

It’s time to quit allowing your brain to get in the way of reaching your goals.

I’m Brittaney Latta, LMFT, a therapist with an online practice in California who will give you the most compassionate yet honest feedback you need to hear. Suppose you’re looking for a therapist who will tell you the usual mindfulness therapy mumbo jumbo. In that case, you’re in the wrong place. However, if you’re ready to do deep work and want to make significant life changes, welcome to my therapy room!

I’m interested in working with open-minded clients who see the world differently than most. It’s hard living in a world where everyone has an opinion. You try to meet everyone’s needs while feeling like you are spinning on a hamster wheel – and you want off!

Something recent happened, or a compilation of things has piled up that has brought you here. I can bet that these issues stem from some past trauma, and I’m here to resolve the issue for you at its source. It’s possible to feel better if we focus on today, but that isn’t what got you to this point. How we move in the world and the decisions we make every day stem from unconscious experiences from our past.

It’s my gift to make you feel comfortable, at ease, and understood rather quickly. It’s my learned skill to take the information you share with me and dig deeper to help you find bigger pictures and themes in your life so you can make lasting changes that won’t result in the same patterns you keep finding yourself in.

My goal is for us to make a positive connection.

Most clients who come to see me have either been on the fence about starting therapy or they’ve struggled to connect with a therapist. As a person who is a complex trauma survivor, a person in recovery, and out as polyamorous and bisexual: I find creative personalities, other Queer folx, and neurospicy individuals tend to connect easily with my personality type.

I’ve worked in the mental health space since 2009 and started my journey as a therapist in 2016. I have extensive experience working with the most intense life crises and deep traumas. I’m all into feedback and communication in sessions, so we can get you practicing using your voice in the real world.

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

I create a safe space where I gently hold you accountable for the goals you will make in therapy. I will take any lengthy story you give me and use it as a map to find the clues that will bring us solutions to your problems. 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 self-care and your success in life. If you can commit to three to six months in therapy with me, we can make some beautiful changes together.

AdminI’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!
