Brittanie Thebeau, LPC, RPT™
My main goal is to provide a supportive therapeutic environment to empower clients to grow and make effective changes in their lives. To foster a warm, comfortable setting for my clients, I employ a compassionate, non-judgmental approach that offers a relaxed environment to facilitate healing and start the process of change. My clinical approaches are tailored to meet the unique needs each client has while also building on their current strengths. Reaching out for support can often feel overwhelming, however, everyone deserves the chance to explore the underlying struggles that may be impacting daily living, contentment, and happiness.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with experience working with children, adolescents, and adults providing individual therapy. Working with children (3 years and up) is my joy. I am currently working towards certification in EMDR and DBT. I look forward to helping you on your way toward personal growth and emotional well-being.

(She/Her/Hers)
I moved to Colorado Springs in 2012 after graduating from Oregon State University
with a B.S. degree in Human Development and Family Sciences.
I grew up in a large family and am the youngest of 6 children. I love spending time with my family and furbabies.
When I am not supporting foster and adoptive families, I enjoy playing board games, solving mysteries, playing video games, and candle-making. You could say ‘I’m an old soul.’

My goal as a therapist is to give space to others so they can feel heard and express themselves in ways they might not be able to. I want to develop a trusting relationship with my clients so they can feel comfortable and be themselves as well as work through anything they might need. The therapeutic process looks different for everyone, so my main clinical approach is to adapt to what my client needs and how best to highlight their strengths. My passion is to provide my clients with tools they may need in life that they may not have access to or to help them relearn tools lost along the way.
I enjoy working with adolescents, adults, and families by helping them through different life challenges, whether be behavioral issues, trauma, or everyday struggles. I believe in creating a safe environment for all people, including those in the LGBTQIA2+ community, to help feel a sense of belonging in a therapeutic setting.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who specializes in working with individuals, adolescents, teens, children, families, and couples. I am certified in providing Nurturing Parenting and Cooperative Co-parenting Classes.
Therapy Modalities Used: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) Reintegration Therapy, Attachment therapies, etc.

In my free time, I love spending time with my friends and family (and my pets). I moved to Colorado for the mountains, so if I am not in the office or at home, you can find me in the Rockies!
