Brittany Coppelli

At this time, Brittany is open for intensives only. Brittany Coppelli is a Licensed Professional Counselor and clinical supervisor who opened Arizona Trauma Therapists in 2021, wanting a practice where clients could feel genuinely safe and where every therapist was actually trained in trauma rather than trauma-adjacent. She works with young adults and adults by telehealth across Arizona, with in-person dates in Old Town Scottsdale offered monthly by request.

Her specialty is complex PTSD rooted in childhood attachment trauma — the kind that shows up later in how a person relates to themselves and to everyone else. She works extensively with adults healing from narcissistic abuse and toxic relationships, including childhood trauma from a narcissistic parent, and with partners of people struggling with addiction or in recovery from substance use. She also holds perinatal mental health as a focus area.

Brittany has been trained in EMDR since 2018 and is an EMDRIA Certified Therapist and an EMDRIA consultant-in-training. She has trained with Somatic Experiencing International and in Internal Family Systems, is certified in CBT for anxiety and OCD, and is certified in Perinatal Mental Health through Postpartum Support International. Alongside weekly work she offers therapy intensives — extended sessions from 90 minutes to three hours for EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, IFS, and couples work — for clients who want to move through a specific memory or block without waiting out a weekly schedule.

She describes her aim as moving clients past coping and toward lasting change, and prioritizes emotional safety and connection as the ground that makes that possible. She also provides EMDR consultation to other therapists. She holds a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Arizona State University.
