Hello! I’m Brittany Mestas, a licensed psychotherapist, born and raised in the beautiful city of Santa Barbara, California. I specialize in working with individuals ages 16 and older, with a particular focus on first responders and their families. However, I am happy to support anyone who is ready to work on improving their well-being.

I understand the unique challenges faced by those in high-stress, demanding professions, and I’m committed to providing a safe, nonjudgmental space to process trauma, stress, and any personal or relational struggles. My work with first responders and their families is deeply rooted in cultural competence, recognizing and honoring the diverse backgrounds and experiences that shape each person’s journey.
