Brynn Champney, Intern

Brynn Champney works with individuals and couples with diverse backgrounds including sex workers, LGBTQIA, hetero-normative, CNM and kink lifestyles. Brynn supports clients exploring their gender or sexual identities and those experiencing transitions in their sexual lives including clients wanting to move beyond old narratives that no longer serve them.

Brynn has a relational-feminist and family systems approach to therapy, paying close attention to cultural contexts of power and subjugation that shape individuals’ lives. She often utilizes Narrative, CBT, and Solution-Focused techniques, believing that “the story we tell ourselves about our lives is our lives.” 

Brynn’s counseling style is warm, honest, non-judgemental, relatable, and humorous. With backgrounds in creative writing, genocide studies, refugee youth empowerment, and substance abuse recovery, she brings a wealth of unique life experiences and personal struggles to her counseling work. Additionally, Brynn is EMDR trained, and deeply invested in addressing the present impact of past trauma in her client’s lives.  

Brynn has an M.A. in Cultural Anthropology from Emory University and is working toward her M. Ed in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at William and Mary. She is under the clinical supervision of Courtney Geter, LMFT-S, CST-S.
