Child and Teen Mentoring

Britney developed a mentoring program after realizing that traditional psychological therapy was not always the best fit for certain situations. Mentoring is a directive service, similar to life coaching, for those looking to enhance their life, self, and relationships. Unlike traditional psychotherapy, mentoring is directive, non-treatment based, and allows for a more transparent and interactive relationship between mentor and client.

About

Animating Principle is owned and operated by Britney Holthouser. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (license #102221), Britney spent years developing the concept and services offered by Animating Principle. Through personal hardship, education, and experience, Britney formed the foundation of the genuine, transparent, and transformative experience offered at Animating Principle. Britney’s background is in Existential Therapy, a theory based on “the philosophical belief that human beings are alone in the world, and that this aloneness can only be overcome by creating one’s own meaning, and exercising one’s freedom to choose” (Psychology Today, 2019). It is this belief that drives Animating Principle’s mission.
