About Me

 

Hello! I am Brittany Cephas, a Licensed Psychotherapist located in Columbia, Maryland.  I provide mental health services to school-aged children and adolescents who are having a difficult time coping with social and emotional related issues.  I am also a Professional School Counselor; and in this role, I have supported students in grades K– 8 through providing individual and group counseling services, psychoeducational supports, and classroom guidance lessons.  

I have over 10 years of mental health experience in a variety of settings and with diverse populations.  I am passionate about helping my clients thrive.  My approach to treatment is unique because I use mindfulness, motivational interviewing, social skills training, creative expression, and movement that I tailor to the exclusive needs of my clients.  My style is warm, creative, and fun!  

Most of all, I enjoy building meaningful relationships with my clients; it is fundamental in the work that I do, and I believe it is instrumental to their success. 

Education, Professional Training, and Certifications

I am currently studying to receive my PHD in Counselor Education and Supervision. I have a Master of Education degree in School Counseling from Loyola University Maryland, a Bachelor of Science degree in Applied Psychology from Coppin State University, and an Associates of Arts degree in General Studies from the Community College of Baltimore County. I am a National Certified Counselor, and Certified Yoga Teacher for children and adolescents. 

My Interests and Other Fun Facts

I am a wife and a mother. My greatest pastime is spending time with my family, loved ones, and friends. My favorite color is blue. My favorite food is pizza and ice cream!  I enjoy baking, shopping, watching movies, trying new foods, and traveling.

Mental Health Practice

Growing Young Minds Counseling is a practice specifically designed to support school-aged children. We value building meaningful relationships with our clients, families, and community partners, as we believe our clients receive the highest benefits from treatment when they have a support system. Brittany Cephas, LCPC and CEO, a former professional school counselor, created GYMC because she noticed that though school counselors are an integral part of student support during their school-day, more mental health support was needed. After meeting with students about social-emotional related difficulties students were expressing that prevented them from being available for instruction, Brittany decided to resign from school counseling and instead extend clinical treatment to students/ school-aged children that would ultimately effectively address their issues. GYMC specializes in helping children and adolescents learn appropriate coping skills, and our services are extending in a manner that is engaging, creative, fun, and developmentally sound.
