STAFF PSYCHOLOGIST

Brittany Shearer joined the CReATE team as a licensed psychological associate (LPA) in 2018. Brittany is an Asheville native and returned to the mountains after she completed her undergraduate degree at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She completed her master’s degree in Clinical Psychology through Western Carolina University, during which she completed her practicum training in psychological assessment with CReATE as a student.

Previously, Brittany worked as a therapist with adolescents & young adults in residential treatment for eating disorders. Brittany now works with CReATE’s team of psychologists, assisting with psychological, psychoeducational, and neuropsychological testing. She believes assessments should be strengths-focused and lead folks to find the ways that they can best thrive and enjoy life.

In her free time, she enjoys reading, gardening, hiking, and watching live music. She loves spending time with her husband, two young boys, and golden retriever in the beautiful mountains that she grew up in.
