Brittany Mills, LCSW-C

Psychotherapist

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-C) with 19 years of experience, dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with compassion, strength, and resilience. My work primarily focuses on two areas that are deeply meaningful to me: supporting teenagers, particularly athletes, in managing anxiety, and helping women find balance amidst the demands of their personal and professional lives. I am also a proud member of the Alliance of Social Workers in Sports, which reflects my ongoing commitment to supporting the unique mental health needs of athletes.

I truly believe that everyone is capable of change, and that life is an ongoing journey of learning and growth. Sometimes, we need support and guidance to help us find our way, and I strive to provide a safe, approachable space where clients can explore what is most meaningful to them. I understand firsthand how challenging it can be to find a therapist with whom you feel connected, and my goal is to make therapy feel like a comfortable place for clients to open up and begin their path to healing.

My Education & Experience: 


I earned my Bachelor's Degrees in Psychology and Social Work from Salisbury University and completed my Master’s Degree at the University of Maryland, Baltimore, through their Advanced Standing Program with a focus on Families and Children.

With over 19 years of experience in the field, I’ve had the opportunity to work in a variety of settings.  My career began in foster care, where I worked for four years helping children achieve permanency—whether through adoption, foster placements, or reconnecting with their biological families in a safe and supportive way. I then spent 10 years in a hospital setting, initially in the emergency department providing psychiatric services, crisis interventions, and psychosocial assessments. I transitioned to outpatient behavioral health services, where I have been providing individual and group therapy for over 8 years.

In addition to my work in hospitals and foster care, I’ve found a true passion for telehealth services, which became especially meaningful during the pandemic. I am proud to be able to provide flexible support for my clients, regardless of their location.
Specialties & Passions:


One of my greatest passions is working with teenagers, particularly those struggling with sports-related anxiety. Helping young athletes manage the pressure they face, both on and off the field, is incredibly rewarding. I also specialize in anxiety and depression, as well as assisting clients through life transitions and everyday stressors. I have extensive experience working with families, helping them improve communication, navigate relationship challenges, and build stronger bonds.
Additionally, I work with women who are juggling the many demands of life, including parenting, career stress, self-esteem issues, and postpartum challenges. My focus is on helping them find balance, develop self-compassion, and prioritize their well-being.

My Counseling Style:
I believe in meeting each individual where they are, creating a warm and respectful environment where they feel comfortable, heard, and understood. My approach is strength-based, cognitive-behavioral, and solution-focused, with an emphasis on practical coping skills that can be applied in everyday life. I work collaboratively with my clients to identify their strengths and support them in building lasting solutions to their challenges. Above all, I strive to create a space where healing, growth, and self-discovery can thrive.
