Children, Teens, and Adults
Hi! I’m Brandi. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia where I bring extensive professional experience and empathy in my work with children, teens, and adults. In particular, I have a passion for the adolescent and young adult populations. I bring honesty, humor, and relatability to my work with my clients of all ages.
Having spent 12 years working in spaces specializing in supporting neurodiversity in elementary students through the college years, I have been dedicated to fostering both the emotional and academic growth of the clients I work with that are in the school setting, serving as a steadfast advocate for their unique needs. It can be hard navigating life’s ups and downs while figuring out your unique strengths, identity, purpose, hopes and dreams.
My expertise extends to addressing a spectrum of support needs. With a client-centered, strengths-based approach, I am committed to creating a supportive environment that facilitates empowerment, positive change, and resilience.

Teens, and Adults
As a compassionate and relatable Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), I specialize in supporting adolescents and young adults as they navigate the complexities of growing up in today’s world. I create a nonjudgmental, safe space where clients feel heard and empowered to express their thoughts and emotions. My work is rooted in empathy, cultural awareness, and a deep understanding of generational challenges, including social media stress, identity exploration, academic pressures, and relationship dynamics.
I understand the importance of meeting young people where they are. I balance providing guidance with encouraging autonomy, helping my clients build confidence in their decisions and embrace their full potential. My practice is grounded in evidence-based methods such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), while integrating a person-centered and strengths-based approaches. My goal is to help my clients gain insight into their belief systems about themselves, others, and the world, while fostering meaningful changes in their behavior and thinking. Collaboration with families is also a cornerstone of my approach, ensuring clients have a strong network of support as they grow.
My clinical experience includes working with adolescents and young adults across diverse settings, such as private practice, inpatient programs, and outpatient care, providing support in both group and individual settings. Before becoming a therapist, I gained additional experience as an ADHD coach, where I helped clients of all ages develop strategies to improve focus, manage time effectively, and build healthy habits for success.
Whether working individually or in groups, I strive to help clients build practical skills to manage emotions, foster positive relationships, improve self-esteem, and enhance resilience.
