Hello,
My name is Brandi and I am Licensed Professional Counselor, who is currently a Ph.D. Student in Marriage & Family Therapy. With over 13 years of experience working for the State of Texas, I attribute a lot of her client’s success to their openness to feedback and their willingness to process through uncomfortable habits/situations. It takes a lot of courage to decide to go to therapy, and finding the right therapist is important too. My priority and passion is to ensure that your mental and emotional health needs are met. Some of the goals of therapy may look like one reorienting their focus, transformative thinking, redefining norms, and being willing to make tough decisions in order to ensure overall health and wellness for themselves and those around them. When you step into the therapy room, you are entering a non-judgmental space with someone who cares about your overall well-being just as much as you do!
My hope is that the counseling room would provide you to feel seen, safe, soothed and secure. It is my goal that you become the absolutely best version of yourself. I am appreciative and grateful for the opportunity to join you and walk alongside you on this your journey. You are one action and mindset away from emotional and mental wellness. My greatest aim is to empower you to your desired level of growth to eventually get along without a therapist, so that you can ultimately be your best self! That is what therapy is all about.
I look forward to working with you,
Brandi Sewell, M.A. LPC

Written on Aug 12, 2022 after therapy with Brandi for 2 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and coping with life changes
When I started therapy I was in a really toxic relationship. It was causing me so much anxiety and stress that was pouring into all aspects of my life. Brandi helped me navigate my wants, needs, and goals and how to communicate them clearly to my partner. Without her guidance, I'm not sure if I would have been able to outgrow my situation. I am incredibly thankful for her and I recommend her to anyone that needs therapy for personal growth, relationships, and family dynamics.

Brandi has been so supportive and kind to me through our work together. She is a great listener, but offers insight in a way that is relatable and progressive to my experience. Even during the uncomfortable talking points, I always feel connected and heard and never judged. Brandi has really been a calming presence and a guide for me over the years, helping me make sense of some of the childhood trauma and triggers I’ve carried into my adult life. I’ve broken down a lot of walls that were hindering my ability to truly experience and enjoy life as well as cope with difficult times in a healthy way that feels good for me. I am so pleased with my progress and the way I’ve rediscovered myself with Brandi’s help and guidance. I’m so thankful we crossed paths and have been working together for years and I’d confidently recommend her to anyone going through hard times.

Authentic, inspiring, empathetic, and kind hearted are just a few words I would use to describe Brandi.

She listens and keeps it real with me, while also reminding me that I am stronger than all these challenges I am currently and soon to be facing.
