More about Brandon
- 9 years' experience

- Psychologist
I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology (Psy.D.) and a Master of Science in Clinical Psychopharmacology (MSCP). I am also a Health Service Psychologist or HSP with the National Register of Health Service Psychology. With over nine years of experience as a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC), I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals, couples, families, and groups across a wide range of mental health and substance use concerns.
My background in clinical psychopharmacology provides a deeper understanding of the biological underpinnings of mental illness, which I integrate thoughtfully into treatment planning. I work with both adolescents and adults, and I approach therapy holistically — drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based practices, and other evidence-based modalities to meet each client’s unique needs.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
