Hi, I’m Bev. I am a Doctoral Candidate at the University of Kentucky in Clinical Social Work and a Licensed Master’s Level Social Worker. My practice is dedicated to working with children, adolescents, and families, with a focus on trauma, family dynamics, PTSD, grief, and general mental health.

I have extensive experience supporting young clients through racialized trauma and its impact on development, as well as helping families foster healing and resilience. My approach is strengths-based and collaborative, guiding children and families toward SMART goals that promote emotional well-being and empowerment.

As part of my doctoral research, I developed Socio-Motivational Systems Theory, a groundbreaking framework designed specifically to address the needs of children experiencing racialized trauma. This innovative approach integrates trauma-informed care with motivational and social systems to create more effective, personalized healing strategies.

My mission is to ensure that every child and family I work with has the tools, support, and strategies to thrive.

Hello! My name is Brittany Grooms, and I am a dedicated therapist with a deep passion for helping individuals navigate the complexities of life. My therapeutic journey has led me to specialize in a client-centered approach, where I prioritize the unique experiences and needs of each person I work with.

Together, we can explore the underlying factors that contribute to your current struggles and develop practical tools tailored to your specific needs.

My approach to therapy is rooted in compassion and empathy. I understand that seeking help can be daunting, and I honor the courage it takes to reach out. In our sessions, I aim to foster a trusting relationship, encouraging open dialogue and exploration. My ultimate goal is to empower you to gain insight into your feelings and behaviors, leading to a greater understanding of yourself and a more balanced, peaceful life.

I am committed to creating an inclusive space where diversity is celebrated, and every individual feels valued. My work with LGBTQ+ individuals is informed by an awareness of the unique challenges they may face, and I strive to affirm and support their identities through a lens of respect and understanding.

No matter where you are on your journey, I am here to provide support, guidance, and encouragement as you navigate the complexities of life. Together, we can work toward finding clarity, healing wounds, and cultivating a sense of belonging within yourself and with others.

If you are ready to take that first step toward a more fulfilling life, I invite you to reach out. Let’s embark on this transformative journey together, as you gain the tools and insights needed to find peace and balance in your life. Your story is important, and I am honored to be part of it.
