Hello! My name is Brittany Parsons and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in the Westminster, Colorado area. I work with clients statewide via telehealth. I work with teenagers (12 and older) through older adults and specialize in depression, anxiety, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), grief and trauma. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and a person-centered, eclectic and solution focused approach to therapy. My communication style is calm, supportive, assertive, and relational. I like to get to know clients before we jump into therapy right away. I strive to make clients feel like I am a safe space and that I will listen without judgement.
Seeking out a therapist can be daunting at times. How and who to choose. Not getting call backs. I am a long time therapist with a wealth of experience to bring to our work together. I am willing to do an initial 20 minute phone consult so we can have real contact and see if we might be a good match. If not, I will do my best to give you other ideas and options. I care about people finding the help they need.
Do you and your partner fight a lot or avoid talking about things that really matter? Are you grieving the loss of a relationship or feeling hopeless that you will ever find someone to begin with? Perhaps you are hurt, frustrated or angry by your interactions with your adult child or aging parent. Having healthy, caring connections with others is a key ingredient to living a happy and fulfilling life. When you are in turmoil because of a personal or professional relationship, it can negatively impact the way you feel about yourself and the rest of your life. Understanding yourself, being able to communicate your needs and hear your partner without blaming are keys to experiencing warmth, intimacy and loving in your relationships. I will work with you to understand the causes of your upset, to heal unhealthy patterns of relating and to learn effective communication skills so that you can create the deeply satisfying relationships you long for. My approach is one of acceptance, gentle guidance and education. I use a combination of therapeutic approaches including Inner Relationship Focusing, Nonviolent Communication, Gestalt, Somatic Therapy and mindfulness. I also bring to my work many years of experience and training as a mediator, conflict resolution and peacemaking circle facilitator. You deserve to feel better and have good relationships in your life. Asking for help can be hard, but it doesn't mean that you are weak or have failed in any way. As human beings, there are times when we all need to turn to another for support. It takes courage to reach out when you are hurting. You don't have to do this alone. I am here to help. Please check out my website andor contact me for a free 30 minute phone consultation to see if we are a good match.
Welcome! I specialize in working with trauma, anxiety, and overwhelming feelings. Trauma comes in many forms and can cause one to feel anxious or overwhelmed. I am here to support you in learning how to feel better and manage overwhelming feelings and thoughts.

You also may be struggling with difficulties within a relationship, struggling with coming out to your family, or experiencing the loss of a loved one. I value providing a space for your feelings and worries to grow from the struggles you're experiencing. PARENTS: Are you a new parent and have found it more challenging than you thought it would be? Or are you a parent with a kid who has strong emotions or anxiety and are unsure how to help your child? I work with children and teens who have overwhelming emotions, feel different than others, or feel anxious and down without knowing why. I will help your child learn how to cope with difficult emotions or social situations and give them tools needed for their own unique and specific challenges. I am also here to support you as a parent. We will discuss how to manage specific behavioral problems and how your child can thrive socially and emotionally. I will also collaborate with teachers and schools to make sure your child has the appropriate care and support that is needed. COUPLES THERAPY: I also work with couples (married, dating, gay, straight) who struggle with communicating or feel disconnected with their partner.

Practicing in the mental health field for over 50 years, I thoroughly enjoy working with just about anyone that comes through my door. I am always amazed and honored by the wide variety of individuals that enter my office. My strengths are working with adolescents, adults , and couples with all kinds of issues. A particular area that I have committed myself to over the past 30 years is supporting couples in which one or both mates are living in the aftermath of childhood abusetrauma of all kinds. In particular the "Partners" of survivors of abuse need a specific kind of support to be response-able through the healing process and beyond. Each person that chooses to work with me should know that my overall focus is on moving them forward into a positive, competent, engaged, energized and loving experience in their lives. It is most often necessary to understand and address the pain and challenges people bring into my office, and to support healing. However, as soon as possible we begin looking forward towards growth and increased anticipation of success in all aspects of your life. This "positive" frame of reference is solidly grounded in many wonderful discoveries in the brain science that has emerged within my life time.
I offer therapy that helps you move forward. Whether you’re transitioning to a new phase of life, wanting to regain a sense of joy in relationships, or looking for more resilience in the face of everyday challenges, we work together to understand what’s lying beneath the stress and anxiety you’re carrying—and then work to resolve it. My evidence-based approach moves beyond surface-level coping mechanisms to create change that lasts, helping you find steadiness through the inevitable transitions, so you can step into a more grounded, confident, and connected life. I earned my master’s from Smith College, one of the nation's oldest programs, renowned for its integration of rigorous clinical training with the depth-oriented tradition. I also earned a PhD in History and Social Sciences from the École des Hautes Études in Paris, as well as a master’s degree in History from the Université Lumière in Lyon. Having lived and worked in the U.S., France, and Italy, I am particularly aware of the challenges of finding connection and stability in unfamiliar places. I am excited by the work of therapy, and how it provides a space for the gradual process of becoming truly yourself. I work at Archive, a company committed to raising standards in therapy. We bring together rigorously trained professionals and offer therapy that is thoughtful, structured, and focused on lasting impact. Rooted in the belief that “you can only help someone as far as you have gone yourself,” my colleagues and I are committed to our own journeys of growth—drawing from great psychologists and great literature to bring depth to our work. At Archive, we believe therapy is one of the most meaningful investments you can make in yourself.
