My name is Britt Rasky and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I started my career as a school social worker, helping students in Special Education find success within the traditional school environment. I taught social skills, emotion regulation skills, executive functioning strategies, and more, while also dealing with daily school crisis and Special Education paperwork. 

When the pandemic happened, I knew I wouldn’t be able to fully help my students without observing their social interactions. So I “temporarily” left the school setting and began contracting with Betterhelp. Betterhelp caught me by surprise, as I learned how much I enjoyed being able to help teens & adults in a thorough way, compared to the brief counseling I practiced in a school setting.  This has led me to where I am today, where I use my knowledge and understanding of skill building to help teens and adults find their own versions of success. We live in a neurotypical world, and those of us with neurodivergent brains require individualized accommodations and strategies to help us accomplish our goals.
