​Welcome!
Seeking out therapy is hard; congratulations for making it this far!
My name is Brittany Garcia (she/her) and I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor practicing in Billings, Montana, and through telehealth in Idaho and Montana. I provide individual therapy for adults and highly motivated older teens experiencing symptoms relating to trauma survival, depression and debilitating limiting beliefs about themselves and the world. I specialize in childhood trauma, C-PTSD, cult survivorship and spiritual abuse, medical trauma, and survivors of power based violence including domestic violence and sexual assault. I offer Trauma-Focused CBT, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and EMDR therapy for clients hoping to heal attachment wounds, break harmful cycles, cope with changes, and create healthy connections.
​I am an LGBT+ affirming clinician and have worked with several clients on understanding and accepting themselves, live more authentically and build a support system. I am a certified World Professional Alliance for Transgender Health (WPATH) member and Gender Affirming Surgery letter provider.
 Your experience in therapy will be unique based on your goals, strengths, needs and comfort level. Together, we will uncover your next steps to living a more balanced, authentic and fulfilling daily life.
My experience comes from working at an advocacy center with survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault, in community mental health, and with teens at a residential treatment center prior to private practice. I have enjoyed working with clients age 3 to 85 incorporating trauma-focused and multicultrual therapy. I fully completed EMDR training in 2019. I have training and experience with treating dissociative disorders, recent or ongoing traumatic stress, and disaster response therapy via EMDR therapy when appropriate.

​Everything that you are doing now is for a reason. As we go through difficult, traumatic and even just new experiences, we respond in the best way we know how. If we survived it, we keep doing whatever it was that 'worked'. What worked before doesn't always continue serving us as circumstances change, and sometimes it wasn't ever the best solution in the first place. Luckily, we can learn to identify our triggers and survival responses to them, replacing them with healthier ways of coping/thinking/relating/communicating.
To support our brain's ability to change and heal, we need a safe space for processing and exploration, connection and acceptance. I intend to help you connect with yourself , create mutually-growth-fostering relationships and increase awareness and confidence in our sessions that will translate to your everyday life
