Brittany Murphy, LCSW — Therapist in Colorado

Hi there, I'm Brittany!

I help adolescents and adults navigate mental health and substance use challenges. Before becoming a therapist, I worked in the corporate world, which gives me a unique perspective on life transitions and the pressures people face.

My focus

I work with teens and adults facing substance use, trauma, behavioral issues, family conflict, boundary struggles, life transitions, relationship concerns, conditions of overcontrol, and grief.

My approach

I draw from psychodynamic theory, Motivational Interviewing, ACT, RO-DBT, NARM, DBT, and CBT to meet you where you are. My work blends processing emotions with practical skill-building, helping you develop tools that create lasting change in your daily life.

My communication style

My sessions are direct, flexible, and supportive. You'll find a mix of processing feelings, education, encouragement, honest feedback, and goal-directed work that keeps us moving forward together.

My journey to mental healthcare

I love empowering others and helping people get unstuck. Empathy, compassion, and genuine care for others drive everything I do in this work.

My goals for you

We'll set goals together during our first session and revisit them every few months, adjusting as your needs evolve. I use evidence-based tools to give you tangible skills that help you achieve what matters most.

Our first session

I'll work to understand your life situation and experiences in detail with empathy and a trauma-informed approach. You can expect a safe space where your story is heard and respected.
