Britney Rhym

Britney Rhym

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Pennsylvania


I’m Britney, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and the founder of Sanctum & Soul. I believe healing happens when the whole person is seen: body, mind, and spirit. My care is trauma-informed, culturally humble, and built for people who have too often felt unseen or misunderstood in traditional mental health settings.

Years of nursing taught me how much people carry beyond a diagnosis, and how much safety, dignity, and being listened to matter for healing. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing at Jefferson University and am completing a fellowship at the Integrative Psychiatry Institute, which deepens my training in whole-person approaches to mental health.

Do you need Saturday hours? I am available most Saturday mornings to help you fit therapy into your busy life! I have 21 years of counseling experience with multiple populations.


All parts are welcome! Do you ever feel like you have different parts of yourself that are struggling with each other and preventing you from moving ahead? Deep down inside of us we have inherent wisdom it is only a matter of tapping into that wisdom as a resource for healing. I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Pennsylvania and have been practicing since various clinical settings. My background includes training in addiction, EMDR, psychodrama, motivational interviewing, and cognitive behavioral therapy. I also integrate narrative therapy, art-based interventions, and Internal Family Systems in order to creatively integrate those parts of self that need attention and healing. True healing can accelerate in a relationship that is non-judgmental, accepting and warm and I seek to offer these aspects in my approach. You don’t have to carry the heavy burdens of your life alone- we can walk this road together!
