About
Hi I'm Logan!
Hi & welcome!
My name is Logan Brantley (she/hers) I am a licensed psychotherapist practicing in CA, DC, VA, MD, TX and IL. Born and raised in NC, I now live in Southern California and have 5 years experience living in the heart of Washington DC.
As a trauma and resiliency expert with 8+ years of specialized expertise, I am committed to helping you build a healthier, more curious relationship your Self.
I help empower women to locate themselves in the dance between self-agency and showing up for others.
I specialize in working with people grappling with past stories of trauma, conflicting generational views and the grief and beauty that can come in role / life transitions (like getting married, becoming a mom, or going off to school).
Educated by extensive holistic training, I provide a space that honors both the science of our brain-body connection, as well as the artful pacing of meaningful healing.
Through this contained and creative space you can feel seen and supported while moving through your unique lived experience.
Whether we're working together to cultivate self-confidence, or helping you recreate your life after trauma, I look forward to hearing more about your story!
