We are so excited to announce our newest addition to the Iris team!! Brittany Blair is an LPE-I and has over twenty years of experience. We are so thankful and excited to have you on board!!

“Hi, my name is Brittany Blair and I’m super excited to be joining the amazing team at Iris Counseling! I worked with the owners of Iris, Chelsea Glover and Matt Davis, for several years at another agency and I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to work with them again. I’ve been a mental health professional for twenty years working with a wide range of clients and diagnoses in outpatient, school-based, home-based, day treatment, and residential settings. As a Licensed Psychological Examiner-Independent, I’ve conducted both therapy and psychological testing services during my career. I really enjoy working with children in a school-based setting. I love the collaborative nature of working with school staff to help educate and positively influence young minds. I view it as a privilege to be invited into a school to provide mental health services to students. My approach to therapy is client and family centered. Because everyone needs something different from therapy, I utilize strategies and techniques from a variety of evidenced-based therapies to help clients meet their treatment goals. I enjoy using art and play activities with children to help create a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable environment for clients. As an Iris therapist, I’ll be working with students at Magness Creek Elementary, Southside Elementary, Cabot Middle School South, and Cabot Junior High South.”
