Camp Best M.Ed., LPC
Hi, I'm Camp! I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor in Oxford, Mississippi with a deep appreciation for the role mindfulness, self-awareness, and compassionate support can play in healing and growth. I’ve been licensed since 2014 and bring years of experience working with young adults, students, and community members facing a wide range of emotional and life challenges.
Before joining this practice, I spent nearly a decade at the University of Mississippi, where I served as a Staff Counselor, Academic Mentor, and Instructor. I also worked as a Student Advocate in the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs. Throughout these roles, I focused on helping students navigate transitions, manage stress, and build resilience — both inside and outside the classroom.
My work is grounded in mindfulness-based approaches. I’m trained in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) and certified as a KORU Mindfulness instructor for young adults, and have led weekly meditation sessions since 2018. I’ve presented to over 2,500 individuals on topics like stress management, emotional regulation, and mindful living, and I authored a chapter on mindfulness for The Ole Miss Experience textbook.
In addition to my clinical work, I’ve had the opportunity to serve in leadership and advocacy roles within the arts, neighborhood revitalization, and historic preservation communities, and I bring that same sense of care and commitment into the therapy space.
Whether you’re looking for tools to manage anxiety, needing support during a life transition, or interested in incorporating mindfulness into your mental health journey — I’d be honored to work with you.
