Brianne Phillips, LCSW, RPT-S

Brianne earned her bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Social Work from Missouri State University. She brings nearly 20 years of experience in social work, with a focus on education, mental health, and clinical practice. In addition to teaching at TSSW, she has also taught play therapy workshops, where she helped clinicians deepen their understanding of therapeutic approaches with children. Currently, she serves as Director of Student Services at a public K–12 charter school in Kansas City, MO, where she leads a multidisciplinary team and oversees mental health programming, state and federal compliance, and student support services. Through her small private practice, she provides therapy for adolescents and adults, with a special focus on supporting women as they navigate major life transitions. Maintaining a limited caseload allows her to stay current in clinical practice while focusing much of her time on education and leadership.
