Gail Eaves Price
I will help you in your desire to close the gap between where you are right now and where you want to be in the future, with the support of individualized therapy sessions. Let's find a solution together! My name is Ms. Eaves. I am a licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and a board-certified counselor. Currently, I am pursuing a Doctor of Philosophy degree in Psychology with a specialization in addictions. I began my Counseling career 2014. Although cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is the primary modality that I focus on, I use an eclectic psychotherapy approach to meet the client-specific need. To illustrate, I provide clients with CBT tools to deal with events of everyday living and explore critical issues using an approach that is appropriate to meet the client-specific problems. The CBT approach has many advantages in multicultural counseling situations. Thus, if therapists understand the core value of their culturally diverse clients, they can help clients explore these values and gain a full awareness of their conflicting feelings. As a therapist with a cognitive behavioral orientation, I will educate you to focus on learning skills to deal with your problems of living. Then you and I will work together to develop a detailed case conceptualization to understand how you views their world. While being sensitive to each client's struggle, I explore values and core beliefs in a nonjudgmental environment with empathy to help clients to learn how to empower themselves by relying on their inner strength. These experiences have given me a prodigious foundation to build to the knowledge gained during the graduate program and fieldwork through direct counseling experience with individuals. *Currently video sessions are not offered unless discussed with me in advance.

Brandi Lightsey
As a therapist licensed in TX, TN and VA, I bring over 15 years of experience working in mental health across crisis intervention and inpatient psychiatric hospital settings. Throughout my career, I have provided therapy to individuals navigating acute distress, complex diagnoses, and life-altering transitions. My work has placed me on the front lines of the mental health system, where I’ve seen firsthand both its potential to help and the ways it can overwhelm and fail the people it’s meant to serve. I am a strong advocate for my clients. I believe therapy should be collaborative, transparent, and grounded in respect for each person’s lived experience. Many of my clients come to me feeling confused, unheard, or worn down by the psychiatric system. I help them make sense of that chaos — whether that means understanding diagnoses, navigating treatment options, or reclaiming a sense of agency in their care. Many individuals living with grief find comfort in working with a therapist who brings both professional training and personal understanding to the therapeutic space. I experienced the sudden loss of my brother as a young adult and later supported a close friend throughout a multi-year cancer journey. These experiences shaped my deep respect for the complexity of grief, resilience, and the emotional impact of life-altering transitions. While each person’s path is unique, I strive to offer a grounded, compassionate presence where clients feel supported, understood, and never alone in their healing process.
