I have been seeing Brandais for a few months now. Her support and expertise has been amazing. I also have a background in Social Work, counseling and coaching- so I am very particular about my therapist and have had my share of not so great therapist in the past. Brandais is an active listener and truly hears what you are saying. She has helped me to navigate some challenges around my work and finding a new path. Brandais also helped me to identify some of my patterns and consistently offers me tools and support during every session. I wish I found her years ago.

Listens and empathetic
Written on Dec 02, 2025 after therapy with Brandais for 4 weeks on issues concerning depression, and stress, anxiety
Brandais is really great. Typically its difficult for me to settle into new people in general, let alone a therapist. But, Brandais made me feel comfortable, heard and understood.
Brandais is great at giving me the space to express myself while finding places for herself within the session to be relatable.

We only had one session so far, but I already feel that it will be a good fit with Brandais. She has a great balance of patience and creating space for expressing things with also gently creating structure in a conversation. As someone with ADHD I appreciate that quality a lot in a counselor.

Brandais is incredible. She has the perfect balance of listening, acknowledging/validating, and great insight/suggestions. She is very sympathetic and understanding, never belittling or judgmental. I have always left a session feeling better, enlightened, and inspired. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone struggling who is looking for an open-minded and experienced therapist!
