Brittney S. Austin — therapist at Calm & Curly Therapy

hey, i'm so glad you're here

Healing, but make it warm

I'm Brittney — a Black, millennial therapist creating the kind of therapy space I always wished existed. Therapy here is rooted in culture, identity, and the kind of honesty that actually changes things. We laugh, we get deep, we do the work.

Whether you're untangling trauma, navigating relationships, or figuring out who you are becoming — you don't have to do it alone.

the vibe

A session with me kind of feels like...

Highway sign reading the universe is always conspiring in your favor
Cartoon character with tears, feeling the feelings
Person smiling in gold-tinted sunglasses
Quote reading to be soft is to be powerful
Neon sign reading so we pivot and we find a way and we keep going

so we pivot.

And we find a way. And we keep going — together.

Growth isn't linear and you were never meant to do this alone. When you're ready, there's a seat here with your name on it.

Handwritten affirmation: you will never be ready, you just gotta start

everything is going to be okay.

As John Lennon said — in the end, everything will be okay, and if it's not okay, it's not the end.
