In grade school, I was the person friends found themselves opening up to—disclosing parts of their lives not everyone was privy to hear. I was told that I was a good listener. Back then, I thought listening was a given...something that all friends did. As I’ve grown in the art of counseling, I recognized that attentive listening is truly and often a prerequisite or catalyst for healing. It’s a gift and talent that I’ve been given. It’s my goal, to provide a safe space where you feel listened to—without interruption or judgement—unconditionally.

My experienced began as a counselor at the local YMCA. From there, my clinical experienced was gained in psychiatric facilities, the K12 school system and in church settings where I provided pre-marital therapy and education to couples looking to tie the knot.

Couples and family therapy, although challenging, are a passion of mine. Helping families mend and heal brings my life a sense of purpose. So does treating racial trauma. Whether through psychoeducation, group, or individual therapy, it’s time for us as a community to heal from the generational trauma we’ve carried for centuries, while coping with the trauma currently.

How I do engage in the type of work without getting drained? Well, I am married to my best friend, we have 4 gorgeous girls (yes, I am a #girldad! I thoroughly enjoy homeschooling them all and watching Disney & Netflix movies (over and over and over again on Friday nights)). And of course, actively engaging in our framework praying, talking, and seeing a therapist myself have all help me to remain in a healthy space.

Given the opportunity to work with you, your partner and/or your family in therapy, would be a legit privilege for me.

FOUNDER + CO-OWNER
CONSULTANT + EDUCATOR

Greetings! My name is Brittney Wardlaw—wife, mother, entrepreneur, consultant, trainer, foodie, and travel feen! I am the Owner and Co-Founder of The Relationship Clinic, a mental health clinic that me and best friend started back in 2018. A place that couples, families and individuals can come to focus on their personal growth in hopes to strengthen the relationships in their lives—whether with God, a spouse or partner, children, parents, a co-worker or friend. We also had a dream when we started the clinic to be able to be a part of building, restoring and healing interracially. And last year, I was able to step into that space and offer my expertise in training, consulting, advising and speaking on matters related to anti-racism, diversity, equity, inclusion, and bias.

Me, my husband and children have worked diligently to create a space where we are looking to prevent and repair when it comes to learning and growing about the differences amongst one another—specifically when it comes to the social construct of race. I am humbled to share that my years of education and training have made me especially adept and prepared for such a time as this. I received my Business degrees in International Business and Marketing, but then went on to earn my Juris Doctor degree shortly thereafter. While it was my intention to get in the courtroom when I finished, I ended up taking a position in higher education (thinking it to be temporary) but finding a niche in conflict resolution—specifically mediation and restorative justice. While building those programs, Title IX and gender equity issues rose to the surface within education, making me as the legally trained staff, the primary candidate to lead the charge in this area. As a result, opening up a whole world of equity, discrimination, harassment, and all other civil rights related issues. And there was no turning back!

I have spent the latter half of my career focusing on equity, diversity, inclusion, anti-racism and teaching others about bias. But after spending years in higher education, I count it an honor to work alongside my bestie in destigmatizing mental health and encouraging healing from known and unknown racial trauma.

My life quote that inspires what I do… “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy.”
Proverbs 31: 8-9

Happy Healing!

My name is Sheila, and I am committed to being a part of the change in this world by helping individuals heal from both past and present trauma. I truly believe in the power of therapy and the importance of healing together—because we are not alone in our journeys.

I am currently a Clinical Mental Health Counseling intern, and my approach is rooted in both Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Gestalt Therapy. CBT helps clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns, while Gestalt Therapy focuses on increasing self-awareness and living more fully in the present moment. Together, these approaches create space for meaningful insight, emotional growth, and lasting change.

Therapy is not a one-size-fits-all process, and I pride myself on meeting each client exactly where they are. My style is warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental, allowing you to feel seen, heard, and understood. I believe you are the expert of your own life, and my role is to walk alongside you—offering tools, perspective, and encouragement—while you move toward the life you desire.

Whether you’re navigating life transitions, processing grief, working through relationship struggles, or seeking to better understand yourself, I provide a safe and compassionate space to explore, heal, and grow. Together, we will uncover your strengths, build resilience, and create a path forward that feels authentic to you.

If you’re ready to take the next step toward healing, I’m here to walk with you.

Join Alexia’s waitlist by emailing admin@therelationshipclinic.com

My name is Alexia, and I am dedicated to creating change and encouraging healing in people’s lives. As a first-born child of immigrants, I recognize there is healing we cannot achieve until we look back and embrace the generations that came before us. We may be the ones to decide that the cycle of setbacks and trauma ends here, but taking that step alone can be daunting. I am here to take that first step with you, whether in strides or baby steps, we go at your pace, with encouragement and coaching to keep moving.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist Intern, my approach is based in Bowen Family Systems Therapy (BFST) and Narrative Therapy. BFST helps clients to differentiate themselves—maintaining one’s identity and autonomy while balancing family connections, whereas Narrative Therapy separates the client from their problems, creating space to explore their life stories. Combined, these models create opportunities for new perspectives, emotional maturity, and healthy interdependence.

I am a collaborator in this healing process led by YOU. You are the expert in your own life, and in this journey, we will help you to claim your story, your healing, and your autonomy. In my style of keeping an open-minded, culturally sensitive, curious but non-judgmental stance, your emotions and experiences are valid.

If you are ready to break the mold, I am here to head down this path with you.

SOCIAL MEDIA + MARKETING INTERN

I am an alumnus of the University of North Texas, where I studied marketing. I enjoy transforming creative ideas into impactful meaning. After graduating from UNT, I took the time to further understand different marketing channels, such as social media, email, and SEO, by completing HubSpot Academy courses.

I also have a passion for competitive bowling, as the sport consistently allows me to work on improving my fundamentals. I recently joined a league and bowled my highest score of 267. While my goal is to get a 300, I will continue to work on and adjust myself to achieve that goal.

I find marketing and bowling have commonalities, as both entice the willingness for self-improvement and adapting one’s mindset to constant change.
