Brittany Thomas, LSW – Primary Therapist
About
Brittany genuinely enjoys being a positive, empowering force in the lives of others. It has been said that her incorporation of light bodywork and meditation practices makes her groups unique. Brittany aims to provide a reflective listening ear that challenges negative assumptions while validating and empathizing with experiences, thoughts, and feelings. Socratic questions are used for eliciting deeper discussions, experiential exercises are introduced gradually to allow for necessary trauma processing, psycho-educational explanations are provided while establishing treatment goals and objectives, and a mix of evidence-based interventions are called upon for building up healthy coping skills, strong self-care routines, interpersonal effectiveness, and an empowered sense of self along the way.
Education
Temple University Masters in Social Work, 2022. Temple University Bachelor of Arts in Journalism, 2013
