Solution Focused Brief (SFBT) Therapists in Shelby, NC

I look forward to assisting you with developing the skills to live a more abundant life while implementing the tools that you already have! Life can be hard at times and with the right coping skills, life can be more manageable to those experiencing depression, grief, anxiety, substance use, and other mental health issues. Working with those who have experienced relationship issues, such as infidelity, abuse (domestic, verbal and/ or physical) can learn how to become a survivor instead of a victim. I know that building a healthy therapeutic relationship is the first step in the therapy process in a non-judgmental environment.

Brandee treats older teens 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 worked with adolescents and teens from 2015-2018 in a day treatment setting before switching to an outpatient therapy setting. Currently Brandee is practicing via teleltherapy.

Life is a journey that is cultivated by various experiences that may put you in a place facing depression, anxiety and other forms of mental illness that may seem to be unbearable. My approach to counseling is driven by a strength based perspective. I look forward to assisting you through emotional processing by tapping into your personal inner strength of resilience to carry you through this journey which is most often referred to as life itself.

Sometimes we experience unexpected challenges as we navigate our lives. Each of us has our own unique set of needs and goals for therapy. My goal as a therapist is to offer a safe place where my clients can feel comfortable working through difficult times; a judgement free zone that leaves them feeling valued and heard. My passion is working with adults and adolescents who struggle with depression, anxiety, personal growth and family issues.

Navigating life's challenges is unavoidable, but finding the right therapist should not contribute to the stress. With a deep understanding of emotional intricacies, I focus on effective coping strategies. My objective is straightforward: to offer a secure, non-judgmental space where you feel truly listened to and appreciated. Utilizing a person-centered approach, I customize support to fit your unique path, assisting you as you tackle obstacles and strive towards your aspirations. Adopting a comprehensive outlook that encompasses mental, physical, and existential dimensions is essential.

I believe counseling is a place of passage, not a destination. My goal is to provide a safe space for exploring reactions, thoughts, and feelings about oneself and others, and to build on the strengths and skills you already possess, helping you lead a healthier, happier life during and after therapy. With a solid foundation in both academic achievement and practical experience, I am a seasoned counseling professional recognized for my extensive knowledge of clinical counseling principles and techniques. My career reflects a remarkable capacity for empathy, problem-solving, and exceptional interpersonal and communication skills.

Do you find yourself tired of having other people's worldviews and judgments imposed upon you? Do you feel that no matter how hard you try, nothing you do is ever enough? It is my goal to provide a safe space where clients can truly be themselves without fear of judgment. As a result, I do not believe in a one size fits all approach to therapy. I work to tailor each session to fit the needs of the person/persons in front of me.

Some life experiences can leave us confused, afraid, angry, and longing for joy. Supporting individuals of all ages, couples or families trying to navigate a path back to joy is a privilege like no other. I provide honest encouragement and practical education to those who are seeking positive changes.

We live in very stressful times and I believe we all need help at some point in our life. Things can happen in life that are out of our control and we need help getting our life back on track and feeling normal again. Sometimes we need to know its ok to not be ok. It's ok to seek professional help, whether its because of addiction, family dysfunction, mood disorders, or just someone to talk to. The goal at the end of the day is to feel like you have a sense of purpose, meaning, and direction in life. There is no such thing as a perfect life but you can give yourself permission to stop surviving and start living again.

When we experience extreme stress or distressing events that leave us afraid, disconnected, or out of control, it is the telling of our story that creates the change we choose. My goal is to help you understand your past so you can move towards the life desired. By providing a supportive and collaborative approach to therapy, you will be able to develop your own goals, rediscover your values, find meaning, and conquer obstacles.

An important element I bring into counseling is a holistic understanding of you and your system. Through this, we discover dynamic ways to affect the issues in which you desire to see positive and enduring change. Furthermore, I practice a balanced approach. One side of counseling is more hands-on advising that involves practical and effective life skills. On the other side, counselors are neutral collaborators that facilitate self-exploration, depth, and healing. Through scholarly research and personal practice, I strive to bring both elements into my counseling relationships to achieve quick and lasting systemic change.

As a counselor, I love collaborating with clients to find out what their goals are and help set a course to achieve them. Whatever the presenting problem, it is my privilege to work with you to explore what solutions we can find together. We can tackle specific problems that you encounter in your relationships, workday, or social settings. We can also seek to understand the root of issues that seem to interfere in these same areas. You will be at the wheel while I help you navigate the road to improved mental health. We can start right away.

My ideal client would be anyone who would be interested in aspiring to be all that they were made to be. I would like to help you be intentional about your mental health and your relationships. I can help you learn ways to deal with your anxiety, depression and process any grief that you may be going through. I would like to work with you to help you have a better marriage or to be a more intentional parent. I have enjoyed working with teenagers for years and I also enjoy working with all aged adults. If you find yourself in some kind of struggle and do not know what to do give me a call or email and let's see if I can help.
