Hard Being Human Counseling and Wellness, LLC

My name is Brittany Walters Hard, and I’m a trauma-informed licensed professional counselor with advanced certification in substance use and addictive disorders. I don’t just treat substance use and addictive disorders- I help people reclaim their lives and rewrite their stories. My expertise centers on addictive behaviors, with a particular focus on relationship addiction, codependency, and the patterns that drive unhealthy coping mechanisms such as substance use. I understand that substance use isn’t just about the substance itself—it’s about the wounds beneath the surface, the emotional voids, and the survival patterns that keep people stuck. For over a decade, I’ve dedicated my career to supporting fellow West Virginians, helping them recognize their value-especially during life’s hardest moments. While a diagnosis may be important, I prioritize the person in front of me. You are more than a diagnosis, and your treatment will be tailored to your unique needs and individuality. It’s my passion to help people find their voices and self-worth. Through evidence-based techniques and personalized strategies, I empower my clients to set healthy boundaries, enhance self-awareness, and develop the confidence to prioritize their own well-being. This often involves stepping back to reflect on life experiences, processing how they might be connected to present challenges, and uncovering the patterns, beliefs, and behaviors that may be holding you back. Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all. It may look different for each person depending on the concerns we’re actively addressing. I’ll help you apply our work to real-life situations and stressors. Do you relate to a reality tv star or sitcom character but struggle to express your own issues? Let’s explore that even if it means talking about Shannon Beador from Real Housewives for part of a session! Did a TikTok resonate with you? Let’s navigate it together. Everything you share is vital to your journey! With Hard Being Human Counseling and Wellness, it's more than just therapy- it's a space where you can reclaim your narrative, break free from destructive cycles, and step into a future you never thought possible. Whether you're navigating difficult relationships, struggling with substance use, or seeking to improve your self-esteem and self-care practices, I’m here to help. It’s hard being human, but having a therapist you connect with can make it easier. Take the first step toward a more balanced and fulfilling life by scheduling a session with me today. I’m ready when you are!
