About me

My dual clinical licensure and specialized training allow me to competently employ clinically appropriate, evidence-based approaches to therapy. Working with diverse groups of client populations and issues is an ongoing professional priority. Through these experiences, my appreciation of the uniqueness of each client continues to grow. Continuing education, life experience, and a desire to positively impact the lives of others, whether in crisis or transition, combine to enhance my effectiveness as a therapist.

My professional experience includes providing group and individual clinical services to children, adolescents, couples, and adults in a variety of community-based settings. I have worked in private practice, as well as acute care inpatient and outpatient hospital settings. Some behavioral health issues I have experience treating include (though are not limited to): trauma, post traumatic stress disorder, chemical dependency, impulse control problems, affair crisis and recovery, anxiety, co-dependency, depression, divorce, sexual issues, and many other general relationship issues. In addition, I am poly/kink friendly.

My educational background includes a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology from Texas A&M University, Central Texas; a Master of Arts in Human Services from St. Edward’s University; and a Bachelor of Liberal Studies in Psychology. I am licensed by the state of Texas to practice as both a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor and Chemical Dependency Counselor. I have specialized training in the following trauma-focused protocols: Prolonged Exposure (PE) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

I look forward to partnering with you as you begin your personal journey of growth, healing, and/or recovery.

Brandee has good intuition and judgment. I appreciate how much she can offer in a 30 minute session. She is pleasant, kind, and considerate. She offers support at the right time, and respects your boundaries.
I would refer her to others.

Brandee is amazing! She really encouraged me to find some much-needed perspective on problems in my life and break thinking habits that were standing in my way. The past year has seen a lot of growth and I would encourage anyone I care about to talk to her.
