Hi there! I'm Brittany Carroll. If you are someone who wants to improve your boundaries, who is navigating emotional overwhelm or numbness, struggling in relationships, experiencing difficulties as an expat, drowning in immense grief, trauma, or more, then you've come to the right place. I'm an American expat who's been calling Leiden home since 2022. I am a member of the Dutch KVK (#97512567) and NIP (#247034). I provide weekly or biweekly individual online therapy for adults (ages 18-40). Whatever pain or shame you're carrying, you are not alone. Let's talk. Together, we can create a space for the parts of you that have been buried, ignored, or stretched too thin. I'm passionate about helping people find peace even amidst life's storms. Many of my clients are those who felt they were drowning alone in their pain - even when surrounded by people. I, too, have drowned in silent sorrow. Growing up struggling with depression and shame myself, I often felt lost and alone. My own therapy journey brought me profound healing and self-discovery, which inspired me to help others find clarity and hope in their own lives too. I believe there is real power in shared experiences and, sometimes, even hearing a portion of someone else's story can help us feel seen and heard. It may be a bit unusual for a therapist to share more personal feelings (while staying within ethical standards, of course), but I want you to know that I truly understand what it's like to feel pain and loneliness. My own experiences can help me connect with your struggles - your pain - while supporting you with evidence-based practices so you can reclaim your life and move toward the future you desire. I'm continuously enriching my skills and staying up-to-date with the latest in psychological practices so that I can offer the best care to you.
