The MGH Center for

Brittney Sy

Brittney Sy received her B.A. in Psychology from Boston University. Her clinical interests led her to pursue careers as a residential counselor at an eating disorder center and as a mental health specialist at McLean Hospital's in-patient PTSD unit. She became interested in Asian/Asian American mental health through these experiences, where she noticed the disproportionately small number of Asian and minority patients that receive clinical treatment. Since then, Brittney has become passionate about breaking down stigma and increasing access to mental health treatment for Asian Americans and immigrants. She hopes to further develop her skills as a clinician and as a researcher through a counseling psychology Ph.D. program.
