"Clear, Resolve, Transform. I help clients discover and resolve subconscious causes for emotionaI and behavioral difficulties. The Subconscious controls emotions, desires, memory, habits, thoughts, dreams, and automatic responses. One may consciously understand the value of eliminating problematic emotions, thoughts or behaviors but unless the Subconscious Mind is reached, enduring change is unlikely. I address the underlying subconscious blocks to living a clear and free life. I have effectively treated sexual abuse, trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, phobias, addictions and more. Issues are cleared, clients report being able to function with more energy and clarity. Relationships thrive and lives are transformed."

"I am dedicated to working with people who want to get at the root of their life suffering and emotional distress. The quality of the relationship between you and therapist is the critical factor in any successful therapy. In-Depth psychotherapy work depends upon the growth and development of a collaborative relationship, which supports your becoming aware of the formative aspects of your life not only intellectually, but emotionally also. This awareness is the essential ingredient to any meaningful and lasting change in human beings."

"Brandee treats children, adolescents and adults across a range of clinical concerns, with a particular focus on mood, anxiety disorders and trauma-related disorders. In addition, she works comfortably with clients who would appreciate the delivery of CBT within the context of their spiritual/religious world view. She obtained a BA in Psychology from UNCA in 2010, and her MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Montreat College in 2015. Brandee interned with an adolescent Day Treatment Program, using Positive Peer Culture, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Nonviolent Crisis Intervention (NCI). Following these internships Brandee worked as a middle school day treatment therapist for three years primarily treating adolescents having diagnoses of oppositional defiant disorder, ADHD, depression, anxiety, PTSD and autism spectrum disorder. While working in the day treatment setting Brandee obtained specialized training in the treatment of childhood trauma, completing trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) training through NC’s Child Treatment Program. She is certified on NC’s roster of TF-CBT practitioners. "

"I am a Licensed Professional Counselor whose primary treatment modalities are Somatic Experiencing and other body/physiology focused models. My specialty is creating a safe and contained space where deep shifts can occur, stabilize, and integrate. These deep shifts can show up as decreased anxiety and post-traumatic symptoms, decreased physical symptoms, a stronger sense of personal boundaries, as well as greater resiliency in the face of challenges. I have extensive experience counseling people who have suffered traumatic injuries, illnesses, surgeries, and emotional trauma."

"Generally, men seek therapy for the same types of concerns that might lead anyone to seek therapy, such as depression, stress, anxiety, or negotiating an unexpected and difficult life stressor. And I have found that the needs of men are unique and require a therapist sensitive to the issues men commonly struggle with, including intimacy, shame (feeling “not good enough”), anger, masculinity, isolation, and fatherhood challenges. Most concerning to me, men may minimize or not recognize their own emotional pain, or may “act out” emotional pain by showing anger or aggression, or engaging in high-risk behaviors."

""What if I crumble under the pressure?" You appear calm on the outside but on the inside you're wondering if you're really cut out for this. You worry that people will think you're a "fraud" or "impostor". (A very common fear). You're tired of people telling you that you're "overthinking it." Performance anxiety is real. Athletes, performers, business professionals, and test takers all experience it and it's debilitating - making it difficult to think clearly and perform effectively, let alone enjoy what you're doing. You're ready for a mindset change, a different way to do things."

"I specialize in oppositional & treatment resistent teens and those with ADHD of all ages. In addition to addressing the disorders that go along with ADHD- anxiety, anger management, depression and substance abuse- I also work frequently with couples to improve their relationships as well as families as a whole. I enjoy my job and working to help people feel better about themselves and their lives by providing support, teaching coping skills and communication skills, solutions and feedback. I can speak fluent sarcasm when necessary and yes people with ADHD can do yoga."

"Perhaps like you, when I’ve felt trapped in my darkest moments I never would have believed that that pain could lead to my greatest inspirations. But through my own processes in therapy I have discovered that this is the truest irony. So often the way out is through and the key to our freedom is within what binds us. Shining a safe and supportive light on our deepest struggles can actually provide the perspective needed to take power back from where we’ve lost it before. But what a daunting road this can be. Having made your way here means you have already started on your path. A journey is just a series of steps. You are doing it! "

"Hope offers light despite the darkness. Deciding to participate in counseling is an important decision and it takes a lot of courage. I commend you for taking the first step. Throughout life, I have learned lessons about the gifts we receive when we take the chance to talk honestly with trusted individuals. It takes a ton of bravery to be vulnerable (at our own pace), but that is how we achieve the safety we are looking for to thrive, and where we build the compassion and sense of belonging we want in relationships. I’ve been a counselor since 1986 and love my job! It’s such an honor to walk with people as they grow and heal. "

"It can be challenging to carry complicated feelings, thoughts and personal beliefs that come up for us throughout life without feeling weighed down or hindered. As a therapist, I work to meet you wherever you are in your journey, allowing those feelings and experiences to help shape your personal growth. Using individually tailored, person-centered therapy, I work to assist you in gaining insight, deepening your understanding of yourself, discovering and reviving your strengths and passions, and releasing beliefs and practices that no longer serve you."

"I am casual and tattooed, and that tends to work for most people... even if it's vastly different from how people picture a typical 'therapist'. I feel very comfortable working with children, teens, and adults from all backgrounds. I work with individuals impacted by trauma and really love this area of focus. I am best suited to work with someone who is seeking change of some kind and needs support to make it happen. I look forward to working with you! Call, email or text today."

"Are you having trouble deciding which college or career to choose? Are you dating someone that seems OK, but you aren't sure if you should marry the person? Did you just go through a rough break-up and aren't sure how to move forward? Have you been single for awhile and wonder if you will ever find someone? A lot of times, people get in relationships and careers because they don't know what else to do or don't allow themselves to dream about their future. I focus on helping clients narrow in on what they truly want in life and in a significant other. I have experienced the pressures of these decisions and would love to help."

"I offer practical help to deal with anxiety, self-defeating behavior patterns, depression, worry, shame, self-criticism, grief and loss, and to stop giving your power away. I will help you take an honest look at the issue, the feelings you're having, and what to do next. My style is warm and genuine, and I encourage our thinking creatively together about your situation. I will openly share my thoughts and ideas with you, and will focus on making sure our collaboration is working for you. I'm empowering for adults and relatable but direct for teens."

"Believing in the inherent worth and dignity of every person, I hope to provide empathy, humor, warmth, and directness in my work with everyone. I strongly believe in a body and sex-positive perspective and I am LGBTQIA affirming. I have experience working with people from diverse cultures, generations, and backgrounds. Even with this experience, you are the expert on your experience, and I work with you to become the best version of yourself. "

"The process of coming home to one's self can be tender, and I hold it with care. I am passionate about supporting the cultivation of personal wholeness while tending to the discomfort found within the human experience. Through attuned listening, I witness clients make the unconscious material of their psyches and lives conscious. My practice serves adults and youth going through the many passages of life. My approach is rooted in a relaxed talk therapy style that integrates different approaches depending on client needs and desires including: Mindfulness-Based, Body-Centered, Gestalt, Transpersonal, and the Expressive Arts. "

"I help children, teenagers and families to become happier and more successful. I specialize in helping with behavioral difficulties, family issues, self-esteem, anger, anxiety, loss, grief, peer pressure, school performance, setting and achieving goals and more. My approach is positive, warm, down-to-earth and grounded in clinical skill developed over years. I offer a confidential, safe and trusting relationship for change and healing to occur. Uniquely, I often use magic tricks in the counseling process. Many children call me 'THE MAGIC MAN!'"

"At some point during the complex journey of life we all experience stuck points, emotional suffering, and sometimes an emotional crisis. It my deeply held belief, however, that we all have the innate ability to recover, heal and thrive. Providing an environment that facilitates healing and resilience is tremendously life-affirming work. I trust that each one of us has tremendous wisdom and strength. In partnership, we identify growth areas, goals, and strategies. Although it is essential that therapy is nurturing and nourishing, it is also hard work. I admire anyone who has the courage to push themselves out of their comfort zones."

"Finding the right therapist is an important and sometimes difficult process. I suggest an initial consultation for you to meet me, discuss your concerns and get a sense of who I am and our connection. My approach is nurturing, mindful and responsive to your unique situation. I emphasize self-reflection and understanding over pathology and believe that therapy works best as an active partnership. I will be doing my part well if you feel you can safely explore anything that comes up for you in our time together."

"There is life beyond diets and hating your body. You can feel comfortable in your own skin. How would you show up differently if you were free of the yo-yo dieting, weight shame and feeling out of control around food? I help women and teen girls of all sizes end body shame, trust their hungers and love their bodies. Together, we get to the root of emotional and binge eating and develop skills to manage worry, stress and your inner critic so that you can ditch the diet rollercoaster, accept your body and start living your fullest life."
