• Brittany L. O'Bryant, MS, LPC, NCC, CPCS, RPT

    Brittany founded PHC with a deep passion for working with children (ages 3 and up) and their parents to foster deep connection. Perhaps, you’ve gotten one to many phone calls from your child’s school. You’ve heard “I hate you” more times than you’d care to count. You’re overstimulated by the load you’re carrying because every task feels so much harder than it should. You desire to parent differently, to go against the grain, and break generational cycles. You want SO much more than “… and I turned out alright". You want better than “alright” for your child. You believe deeply in the humanity of your child. You want your child to grow up emotionally healthy. You want your child to NOT have to recover from their childhood.

    Brittany has worked with many children and families to provide counseling near Canton, GA. Raised in Ball Ground, she understands the beauty and tension of a small hometown. She earned her M.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Georgia State University.

    You’ve hit a wall recently. You’re noticing patterns in the way you interact with the world around you and you’re wondering “what is wrong with me?” In short, nothing.

You’ll walk away from your session with Kasey knowing yourself and your relation to the world, to YOUR world more authentically than before.
