Background

Brittany Jenkins, better known as Bree to her clients, has been working in mental health, life coaching, and counseling services since 2002. A graduate of both Pepperdine University’s Graduate School of Education and Psychology and Dillard University’s Bachelor of Arts in Psychology program, she has extensive training in the mental health field.

She brings a wide range of techniques and skills to the therapy room for couples and adult individuals to make the changes they desire. Bree is a African American and multicultural therapist, who has extensive experience working with Black, Latino, Asian, and Caucasian clients. Her training, gained in Los Angeles, from Pepperdine University (West LA area) ( Westwood, Brentwood, Santa Monica, West LA, Beverly Hills, Miracle Mile area) and the SouthBay (Manhattan Beach, Torrance, Gardena, Hawthorne, Redondo Beach,El Segundo area), exposed her to clients from every demographic: young, old, middle aged, teens, children, married, single, divorced, separated, and engaged/premarital. Everyone wants to feel comfortable with their therapist, and Bree is sensitive to cultural issues, needs, and various styles of communicating. Beyond issues of ethnicity, Bree is LGBT affirmative in her counseling style and worked several years at LGBT counseling clinics in New Orleans, LA.

More than her comforting style with clients, Bree mixes several styles of therapy to meet the needs of the couple or individual before her. She often pulls from CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), Narrative, Humanistic/Person Centered, Mindfulness therapy, and for couples, she often uses Attachment Theory and inspired work from John Gotman. This integrative and eclectic style of therapy offers her clients the most results.

Bree is a full time therapist who works in her 2 private practices as a marriage and family therapist and life coach. Her Los Angeles therapy office located in Westwood serves clients in the West Los Angeles area, including Brentwood, nearby UCLA, Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, and Miracle Mile. Bree has a client focus on African American, Black , mixed race and Latino couples in her southbay therapy office, which services Gardena, Torrance, Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, El Segundo, and Carson. Bree is a marriage and family therapist and dating & life coach specialist that focuses on couples, and adults with anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and a multitude of mental health, social, and emotional problems.

“In working with Bree she has been compassionate, knowledgeable, and amazingly supportive. She has helped me discover things about myself I never knew, or could never get to with other therapists. Prior to Bree, I thought therapists just sat and listened to me, but with Bree I feel she really tried to understand me and help me get to the root of my problems and offered me tools to change things. Maybe it's that she is also a life coach, but I really found her suggestions helpful. I've referred several people and all have agreed she's really great.”

Experience

Bree has been working in Mental Health since 2006. Her first shaping as a therapist, were working in New Orleans, LA post hurricane Katrina doing work in the LGBT social services with communities experiencing homelessness and with HIV/AIDS. From there, she expanded her community mental health experience in graduate school at South Central Training Consortium working in domestic violence shelters, school counseling centers, and the FAME community mental health clinic. These backgrounds exposed Bree to an extremely diverse population of mental health diagnosis and communities.

Post Pepperdine University GSEP, she was employed in the southbay area working with a Full Service Partnership with the Department of Mental health. Her training was enhanced by learning several evidence based modalities of therapy such as Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. She worked with high risk mental health patients, at risk for chronic hospitalization among children, teen, and young adults.

After 5 years of working in crisis management, and severe mental health populations, Bree transitioned to a private group practice in downtown Los Angeles, working with young adults, working professionals, and couples to help explore and improve mental health and life fulfillment. This work is where Bree discovered her passion for working with Anxiety, Depression, Disordered Eating, and Couples work in the private practice setting. She has used her diverse experience to connect with and help transform her client’s lives for the better.

“There would never be enough of words to describe how amazing Bree is. She has been an asset to me individually as well as a couple. Bree has a sweet, calming spirit and it's always a great pleasure just to hear her comforting voice. She maintains professionalism and is non judgemental. She goes above and beyond. In between sessions she takes the time to send emails to ensure all is well. I owe it to Bree that I have become a better individual as well as my significant other.”
