Brittany Kleinschnitz

My name is Brittany Kleinschnitz (they/them). I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner living in so-called Portland, Oregon, on the lands of the Multnomah, Kathlamet, Clackamas, Cowlitz, Tualatin Kalapuya, Molalla, Chinook, Wasco, and other tribes.

I am also early in the process of becoming a BLSW Supervisor, and I am currently trained to provide supervision for interns.

I specialize in somatic trauma therapy, ecotherapy, attachment therapy, mindfulness, compassion-focused therapy, and grief work. My main populations include folks in recovery from both acute and Complex PTSD, attachment/developmental trauma, and generational and systemic trauma. I also enjoy working with folks around ecological grief and anxiety and exploring personal identity in relationship to community and culture. As a social worker, I take a critical lens to the ways power and oppression impact an individual's experience. My queer and non-binary identities inform a focus on supporting LGBTQIA+ and gender non-conforming clients, though I work with many populations.

I work at the intersections of environmentalism/ecology, somatics, spirituality and healing traditions, and healing justice frameworks. I seek to support folks in "re-membering" their unique place of belonging in the web of life.

I am a white, queer, non-binary, able-bodied, middle class person. I am dedicated to my own personal and professional work related to unlearning and undoing harms on both micro and macro levels.
