About Brittany Thomas

Brittany Thomas is a School Psychology doctoral student at Stephen F. Austin State University. She received her bachelor’s degree in Sociology from Wiley College and earned her master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Alabama A&M University. Up until this point, Brittany has dedicated her professional and academic career to making a difference in the lives of marginalized populations. Most of her clinical work has been centered on investigating the unresolved trauma in adolescents, achievement gap, reading disability, self-esteem, self-efficacy, and body objectification. Brittany serves as the community liaison for the campus’ School Psychology Student Organization and is a part of the planning committee for the Burke Mental Health Center’s annual Mission Possible Conference. She is also a member of the American Psychological Association and the Association of Black Psychologists. Brittany’s ultimate goal is to extend and disseminate evidence-based practices to children, families, and communities who are at risk or underprivileged-lacking options, opportunities, and hope.
