Brittani Ignato

Welcome to Yellow Brick Road Counseling and Therapy! (other quote/headline?)

First and foremost, I value the power of the therapeutic relationship with my clients as I understand that relationships can be challenging and also transformative. In a culture that values independence, I encourage interdependence as a way of deeply healing lonely, frightened parts of ourselves. While working to provide coping resources through mindfulness and imagery, I also work with you to understand more deep rooted ruptures with attachment and difficult life events.

I'm trained in a trauma modality called Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) which is the foundation of my practice. I also have training in perinatal mental health and postpartum depression, and am Internal Family Systems informed. I see clients aged 16 and older, and they describe me as warm, attuned, and comfortable to be around. Clients experience being deeply seen and heard, and it is the biggest honor for me to help hold parts of their stories.

I have my license in Social Work so I have an understanding of how environment and systems play a role in our mental health.

Outside of my practice, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, trying new foods, doing yoga, making Matcha lattes, and snuggling the sweetest dog named Coco.
