I provide individual therapy for adults and older teens. I work with my clients to develop a genuine connection based on trust, honesty, support, and compassion. I recognize and honor people as individuals and meet them where they are, helping them navigate the many struggles they may face in their unique journey through life. Working together, we will address the issues that are affecting you and/or those you care about and develop a plan to overcome them. Throughout this process, my clients gain a stronger and deeper connection with themselves and the world around them.

We all have times when we feel stuck, stressed, confused, hurt, alone, or simply like we're not living our best life. Maybe you’re seeking healing from trauma, or grieving a significant loss. Maybe you want help coping with feelings of overwhelm, anxiety, sadness, and disconnection. Maybe certain habits are getting you down, and you want help overcoming them. Perhaps you’re seeking support in making a significant life decision, or change. Maybe you want healthier relationships, or a deeper spirituality. Or maybe you just want someone to come alongside you and help you figure out how to get back to feeling okay. More like yourself.

Hello, I'm Brad Branham. I enjoy working with anyone who is motivated towards instituting change, improving their mood, situation, or life in the goals they choose. As a marriage and family therapist, I love working with couples and families. However, a significant amount of my nearly fourteen years of clinical experience has been working children, adolescents, and teenagers. I also enjoy working with those who are oppositional, anxious, depressed, have experienced trauma, are seeking parenting skills, or are looking for emotional management and coping strategies.

My ideal client is one who is willing to work on their mental health in a positive and meaningful way. I have experience working with children, families and individuals who have been diagnosed with anxiety disorders, depression, trauma, dissociative identity disorder, adoption issues, attachment issues, oppositional defiant disorder, ADHD and Autism. I also have extensive knowledge in high-conflict parenting dynamics and frequently consult with mediators or Parenting Consultants to assist in my client's progress. I am also a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner for individuals struggling with emotional regulation and trauma.

As a therapist, my goal is to allow you to be who you are right now, using a lot of empathy (and well-meaning humor) as well as structure and direction, when necessary. My approach is one of curiosity about you and your ideal self and future. I am typically pretty direct in my approach, which people tend to really appreciate and enjoy! Working together, we will identify and collaborate on goals and how to move you towards them. I would be honored to assist you on your health and wellness journey.

I define trauma as "anything too much, too fast, too soon, from which you felt like you had no escape." I partner with individuals processing through trauma. As a therapist with a background in intimate partner violence, family systems, and severe mental illness, I understand how each of these can impact a life today, even though the events may have occurred years ago. Trauma informed care is foremost, and my clients receive empathetic, thoughtful, and warm care rooted in self-empowerment.
