I am licensed in Kentucky with 15 years of professional work experience in outpatient therapy. I am especially helpful to clients experiencing relationship issues, trauma, intimacy related issues, infidelity recovery for couples, self-love, motivation, self esteem, confidence, ADHD, codependency, & young adult issues. It's important to me that all clients feel safe and comfortable in a judge-free zone which is why unconditional positive regard is my first and foremost priority. I don't like to waste time or make sessions about myself and prefer a gentle approach to building an emotional tool box. Some of the treatment approaches I use are cognitive behavior, motivational interviewing, EMDR, and Gottman Method Couples Therapy as well as good, old-fashioned humor;) Talking to someone about problems, stressors, or past pain can be both difficult & relieving and I'd like to do that with you while keeping special focus on YOUR specific strengths. I've found that most clients fear reliving shame and/or early childhood experiences the most so if that's you, guess what? You're "normal". If not, feel free to be "not normal" in sessions with me.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Brandy Westerfield. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Brandy has made it easy for me to open up and begin digging into finding the roots of my current struggles. She has given me concrete things I can try to address what we've discovered so far. She has listened with patience and compassion, and delivered helpful insights and perspectives I hadn't considered before. She has also very skillfully directed our sessions to keep our progress on track without making things feel forced. I am very happy with the help Brandy is providing. She rocks!
