Welcome, I’m so glad you’re here

Whether you’re starting counseling for the first time or returning after some time, let’s take this step in getting you the mental health care you deserve, together.

Brittany Rettenmeier, MA, LPC, NCC

My approach

My practice is centered around a humanistic, or person-centered, approach which addresses each person individually in regard to their unique life experiences. Emphasis is typically placed on movement towards self-awareness, self-fulfillment, and acceptance of the many parts of ourselves. I believe that people are the experts of their lives, and with the empathy and support of a therapeutic relationship, positive change and insight can occur. My main goal is to facilitate a safe, inclusive, and individualized therapy space that fits my client’s mental health needs.

Counseling requires a safe and collaborative space where a counselor and client can work through various concerns. An authentic relationship between the counselor and client plays a large role in the outcomes one might experience. Safety and trust remain at the core of this process. Sessions are approached with warmth, acceptance, and curiosity for the ideas and experiences that you might share. For time, people have demonstrated that they are inherently capable of working towards growth and have done their best with what they have to get to where they are today. I hope to normalize that we are learners. We progress, stand still, and fall back at times, all of which are normal, necessary, and can lead to better self-understanding if we open ourselves to the experience. We will explore what might be getting in the way of living with authenticity, purpose, and meaning in daily life. As we get to know each other, we will collaboratively create goals that reflect what you hope to gain from this experience. I hope to get a chance to talk with you about how therapy can provide support in your personal growth and overall wellbeing. We can talk about ideas, process concerns, create goals, and ultimately, move at a pace that serves you.

Location: telehealth

Through telehealth, I am able to reach clients anywhere in the state of Texas. Please keep in mind that clients must be located in the state and in a safe and private location at the time of our session. Telehealth can include either secure Google Meet video meetings or Google Voice phone calls.

“Experience is, for me, the highest authority. The touchstone of validity is my own experience. No other person’s ideas, and none of my own ideas, are as authoritative as my experience. It is to experience that I must return again and again, to discover a closer approximation to truth as it is in the process of becoming in me.” - Carl Rogers

Let’s get started, together
