Hello! My name is Brigette and I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in East Bay, California. I have 10 years experience working with clients, providing therapeutic counseling services. I have worked with a diverse population of clients ranging from children, teens, adults, and elders. I provide services for individuals and families assisting with issues such as depression, isolation, anxiety, self esteem, trauma, loss, relationship issues, parenting issues, and more. I enjoy working with individuals from all walks of life and backgrounds and I value genuineness and collaboration with my clients. I provide a safe and supportive holding environment that is authentic and nonjudgmental in nature. I tailor my specific approach depending on client situation, needs, and goals for therapy. As well as draw from theories such as CBT, Solution Focused, Family Systems, and Client Centered modalities. Growth and change are encouraged through self reflection and finding practical solutions to problems.
Making a change can feel overwhelming and scary, but if you are ready to take the first step and begin the road to a new way of life, I am here to help uplift and support you! I appreciate your courage and I look froward to hearing from you!

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Brigette has a soothing voice, is a fabulous listener and is very kind. She asks great questions and provides me with the feedback I need as well as ideas on how to improve they way I think about myself and life.
Brigette is amazing! I am so lucky to have her as my counselor. She is extremely understanding and I feel comfortable expressing myself with her. Initially, I was hesitant to sign up to BetterHelp because I was shy. However, Brigette immediately made me feel comfortable and safe. She had helped me with a lot of my issues. I tend to have weekly meetings with her because thats what works best for me. She replies quickly and she is extremely kind. Brigette is a great listener and supportive!

Brigette is fantastic. She helped me work though SO many different things, and I honestly don’t know where I would be without her. She made me feel heard and always provided me with possible solutions to my problems. She is such a kind soul and I can’t see myself working with anyone else besides her!

I enjoy talking to Brigette. It's like talking to that friend that always listens and has skills to help you improve on something.
Brigette is an amazing counselor. I’ve had her for about two months or so and she has helped me get through really difficult times that I have been experiencing recently. She really listens to you, is flexible with scheduling, and can provide genuine empathy to help you through your situation. I don’t think I would have been able to have seen my self worth as easily if I were to go through it alone. I highly recommend considering Brigette!
