Meet Brandi Washington, LCSW-S


Hi, I’m Brandi Washington, LCSW-S — a therapist, coach, and the 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

Meet the Creative Wellness Team


Our Creative Wellness Team brings together a collective of facilitators, healing professionals, artists, and wellness guides who support our mission of making growth accessible, engaging, and joy-filled. We design and lead interactive self-care workshops, retreats, and events rooted in creativity, nature, embodiment, and connection.

What We Do:

  • Host Brush & Bloom and plant-themed workshops

  • Lead creative sessions on boundaries, burnout, and belonging

  • Offer mindfulness-based events infused with art, music, movement, and storytelling

  • Provide supportive spaces where healing feels possible, playful, and purposeful

We believe in growth that feels good. Growth that’s grounded in community. Growth that meets you exactly where you are—and invites you to bloom from there.

We’re more than a creative wellness initiative. We’re a movement of mindful, creative healing—and you’re invited.

  • 🌸Therapy focuses on healing, emotional well-being, and overcoming past challenges. It’s a clinically driven process led by a licensed therapist to help with anxiety, depression, trauma, or life transitions. Therapy provides a safe space for self-exploration, emotional processing, and developing coping strategies to improve mental health. If you desire to use insurance, therapy also requires a clinical diagnosis.


    🌸Coaching is future-focused, goal-oriented, and designed to help you gain clarity, set actionable goals, and build confidence. Coaching at Growth Matters supports entrepreneurs, professionals, and individuals seeking personal or business growth, work-life balance, or mindset shifts. It’s about unlocking potential, fostering resilience, and creating a strategic roadmap for success.
