"In a futile attempt to erase our past, we deprive the community of our healing gift. If we conceal our wounds out of fear and shame, our inner darkness can neither be illuminated nor become a light for others."
~Brennan Manning "...the human psyche, like human bones is strongly inclined towards self-healing. The psychotherapist's job, like that of the orthopedic surgeon, is to provide the conditions in which self-healing can take place."
~ John Bowlby |
Britni Proulx is a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist who attended Azusa Pacific University and graduated with a Masters Degree in Clinical Psychology. Britni went for further training and certification in EMDR, a modality used to treat patients struggling with Trauma which is recognized by the WHO, American Psychiatric Association, and the US Department of Defense.
Britni has furthered her education in being trained in an evidenced based modality called DIR FloorTime, in which the objectives of the DIR model are to build healthy foundations for social, emotional, and intellectual capacities rather than focusing exclusively on skills and isolated behaviors. In her experience, she has utilized this model in treating children as her foundation which promote healthy development in a respectful manner that builds connections, understanding, love, communication, and engagement.
Britni has a passion working with children and adults as they navigate life's challenges such as family conflict, behavioral issues relationship issues, grief and loss, trauma, depression, and anxiety.
Britni has over 13 years experience working with children and families and has worked in a variety of treatment settings including inpatient psychiatric hospitals, community mental health agencies, residential treatment centers, and private practice. Britni's treatment orientation includes EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy, Family Systems Therapy, DIR Floortime/Child Therapy, Mindfulness Based Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, along with Emotionally and Trauma Focused Therapy.
Since a young age, Britni has always strived to help others in need. As she developed, she recognized there are many ways to help others in need and that a common theme across society, generations and cultures was the absence of feeling heard and seen by either loved ones, family members, colleagues or friends. Britni's belief is that we all share, at some level, an understanding of what it feels like to carry trauma within ourselves. This trauma can be a big event which occurred or could perhaps be an accumulation of pieces of trauma along the way which have contributed to our negative beliefs we carry about ourselves. Today she prides herself in equipping her patients with the tools to effectively communicate and relate with those around them and to feel long lasting inner peace.
