Therapist, LGPCAbout Brittany Willis
Brittany (she/her) approaches therapy as an opportunity to witness, respond, and foster transformation. Her work centers on the understanding that mental healthcare must address the interconnected layers of a person’s life, from personal experiences to family and community relationships. Brittany grew up in a family of community service workers, and this upbringing still informs her core values and world view today. She is a proud Baltimore native and enjoys reading, writing funny stories, and binge-watching 90s sitcoms.
Training/Education
Brittany is a Licensed Graduate Professional Counselor who earned a Master of Science in Clinical Professional Counseling at Loyola University Maryland. She previously graduated from Xavier University of Louisiana with a Bachelor of Science in Biology. She completed her clinical externship with Creative Psychological in 2025, during which she worked with clients ages 6 to 40 who presented diverse diagnoses. Brittany’s background includes more than a decade of work in education where she served as a teacher, literacy program coordinator, and community engagement specialist. She remains connected to school communities as a part-time substitute teacher because of her passion for that population. Her experience in education has given her insight into the critical role that systems and relationships play in shaping children’s emotional and mental well-being.

Therapeutic Approach
Brittany uses multidimensional and culturally diverse techniques to work with children, families, and adults. She works to foster the therapeutic relationship and create a space that affirms each of her clients’ unique needs and strengths. She integrates the frameworks of Narrative Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, and Internal Family Systems to inform her treatment recommendations, while engaging play and other expressive techniques in-session to keep clients engaged and invested in their treatment goals. By involving caregivers, families, educators or co-workers, and community stakeholders in the process, Brittany aims to create a network of support that uplifts her client and strengthens their environment. Her therapeutic focus includes fostering healthy emotional regulation, navigating identity formation, processing trauma, and improving/strengthening interpersonal dynamics.
