Brynn Thompson, MS, NCC, LPC
“Change is process, not an event.” - John P. Kotter
Brynn grew up in Central Pennsylvania. She has worked in human services in many settings during her career. Initially she provided care in behavior modification during graduate school. Her interest shifted to substance use disorders once she recognized that it impacts all individuals whether it be personal use, family members, or friends. Once she obtained a master’s degree she split her time between school-based substance abuse counseling and school-based mental health counseling at two different agencies.
Returning from Maryland after a leave of absence to raise her child, she continued in the counseling field in the outpatient setting. She provided sessions in mental health, substance abuse and medication assisted treatment. She then decided to move back to school-based services. During that time, she achieved her license in professional counseling. She continues to provide school-based counseling but has since resumed outpatient services on a part-time basis as well.
Brynn’s primary focus in counseling is to join clients where they are. She continuously adapts to client needs to assist them in their counseling journey and meet their individual goals. Every family is impacted by mental health and/or substance use concerns. For this reason, having family involved in the process is key and she believes in this common ground we can thrive. Approaches can range from talk therapy, solution-focused therapy, to creative art therapy.
Outside of work Brynn enjoys ballet, weight training, and overlanding. She lives with her significant other, daughter and dog.
