Hi, I’m Brandi Washington, LCSW-S, therapist and founder of Growth Matters. With nearly a decade of experience in social work and mental wellness, I’ve come to deeply value the power of both traditional therapy and creative, restorative experiences in helping women grow through what they go through.

At Growth Matters, I specialize in supporting women who are navigating seasons of transition, burnout, and self-discovery. I create spaces that blend clinical insight with creativity, mindfulness, and community. I believe that therapy can be a powerful anchor, but it doesn't have to be the only place where healing happens. That’s why I’m so passionate about hosting creative rest and wellness events — like our signature Brush & Bloom workshops — as therapeutic supplements that promote reflection, connection, and joy. These events are more than just “self-care nights.” They are intentional spaces where women can press pause, reconnect with themselves, and remember that growth is not just possible — it’s already happening. I am passionate about hosting creative rest and wellness events that promote healing, rest, and community. My goal is to make wellness more accessible, more affirming, and more rooted in real life. Whether through a one-on-one clarity session or a plant-themed workshop, I’m here to help women reclaim their time, energy, and worth — one small bloom at a time
