About YOUnique
Experience. Compassion. A Different Approach to Family Care.
At YOUnique Comprehensive Counseling Services, we understand that families are complex, and meaningful change rarely comes from one-size-fits-all approach.
Our work combines clinical experience, family systems expertise, and an understanding of the challenges families face during conflict, separation, divorce, and major life transitions.
Meet Brittani D’Andrea, LCSW
Brittani D’Andrea, LCSW is a licensed clinical social worker with extensive experience supporting children, adolescents, adults and families through emotional, relational, and family challenges.
Prior to transitioning into full-time private practice, Brittani spent nearly a decade working within the Connecticut Judicial Branch as a Family Relations Counselor. Her work included mediation, custody evaluations, high-conflict family dynamics, and helping families navigate separation and divorce.
That experience now forms a practice that blends traditional clinical care with specialized family focused services, including co-parenting counseling, reunification counseling, parenting coordination, mediation, and supervised visitation.
Grounded in experience. Focused on practical, meaningful change.

My Approach
My approach is collaborative, practical and tailored to the needs of each individual or family. I draw from evidence-informed approaches including cognitive behavioral, solution focused, motivational interviewing, family systems, and relationship-focused interventions while considering broader family dynamics and life experiences influencing the concerns that bring someone to counseling.
