ALMETA’S PORCH COUNSELING
YOUR THERAPY JOURNEY
STARTS NOW
Hi, I'm Brittney!
My business, Almeta’s Porch Counseling, creates a warm and welcoming space where individuals can explore and address their mental health needs. I was deeply influenced by many conversations I had with my grandmother during my formative years growing up in Camden, New Jersey, regarding the importance of values such as family, faith, and community. I’m an old soul, a porch enthusiast with a youthful heart, and I love incorporating those aspects of my personality into our sessions. I appreciate and understand the beauty of humanity and am exploring ways to help others learn how to focus on establishing healthy relationships (no one should be walking this earth alone). I know there are days when life can be pretty challenging, but having the right conversations can ease those stressors.
If you struggle with significant life transitions and need a safe and supportive environment to navigate the highs and lows, I am here to help. Have you ever thought, "I want to make changes, but I need guidance on how to proceed?" or "I want to understand how my emotions impact my behavior to improve my life?” If so, I can offer the clarity you need so you don’t have to work on it alone.
I want to bring back the essence of safe, warm, and thoughtful dialogue, which makes dealing with emotional and sometimes challenging situations easier.
Of course, it’s a big step to take, but it seems like it can be the step that allows you to breathe easier, build understanding in your journey, and find a sense of gratitude for some of the harshest struggles. Your well-being is important to me, and I am committed to exploring how to support you in these spaces best.
“You are the one thing in this world, above all other things, that you may never give up on.”
Therapy Philosophy
My goal is to make therapy as authentic as possible. I will provide therapy without making you feel like you’re in a therapy session. After years of working through different concepts of how to make therapy manageable for others, the ease of engaging in dialogue with interventions will give you a better handle on life. Incorporating past values will, in my opinion, create a sense of calm, connectedness, and a deep sense of responsibility for the welfare of others.
I am ready to walk alongside you through each season; let’s do this together. What I can provide if you work in the space with me:
The ability to go at your pace in sessions which means I want you to feel comfortable sharing as little or as much as you want. (These sessions are focused on your needs. )
The autonomy to explore areas of your life without feeling like you have to make decisions based on what others want you to do. (That’s the beauty of seeing a non-biased therapist: I don’t tell you what to do; I guide you to the outcome you believe is best for you.)
A pinch of humor to lighten up some of the hard spaces you have been trying to navigate independently. ( Life is serious enough, and it’s okay to laugh often.)
A splash of empathy that allows you to feel like you are not only just being heard but understood. ( You deserve to have someone care for you and the parts of your life that need more attention.)
