Brinley Tompkins, MA, RMHCI

Brinley is a Registered Mental Health Counseling Intern with a passion for working with neurodivergent and twice-exceptional (2e) children and adolescents. She earned her master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from Liberty University in May 2025 and now serves clients full-time at AIM Counseling. Growing up in New Jersey, she was immersed in a wide range of cultures and later worked as a long-term nanny for families from diverse cultural backgrounds, which fostered an early appreciation for individual differences and the importance of compassionate, individualized support.

Brinley takes a strength-based, client-centered approach to helping children and teens navigate challenges related to ADHD, autism, anxiety, emotional regulation, learning differences, and giftedness. She is trained as an ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider (ADHD-CCSP) and integrates executive functioning support and practical skill-building into her work with clients. Brinley also partners closely with parents, offering guidance and behavioral strategies that help create structure at home, reduce family stress, and support healthy relationships.

Brinley is a Brainspotting practitioner working towards specialization. Brainspotting is a brain-body-based therapeutic approach that goes beyond traditional talk therapy by allowing clients to access and process experiences stored in the deeper parts of the brain. This approach can be particularly helpful for adolescents or adults who struggle to verbalize their experiences, allowing them to process emotions, reduce physiological stress responses, improve emotional regulation, and build greater resilience.

Brinley is committed to providing neurodiversity-affirming care and creating a warm, supportive environment where children, adolescents, and young adults can better understand themselves, build self-advocacy skills, and grow into their strengths.
