Welcome! Meet Brandi Anderson!

I enjoy working with children, adolescents, and adults who are navigating emotional, behavioral, or attentional challenges and are seeking thoughtful, supportive psychiatric care. I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and ADHD, and I take a trauma-informed approach that recognizes how past experiences can impact emotional and behavioral health. My ideal client values a collaborative approach and is open to discussing medication alongside holistic strategies that support overall mental and physical wellness. I strive to create a calm, non-judgmental space where patients and families feel heard, respected, and actively involved in treatment decisions.

I help clients by providing thoughtful psychiatric evaluations and individualized treatment plans that consider the whole person. This includes evidence-based medication management, education about symptoms and treatment options, and incorporation of holistic strategies such as sleep, nutrition, stress management, and lifestyle support. I work collaboratively with clients, families, and therapists to ensure care feels coordinated, supportive, and aligned with each person’s goals.

Taking the first step toward care can feel overwhelming, and you don’t have to navigate it alone. If you have questions or would like to explore whether working together feels like the right fit for you or your child, I invite you to reach out.

This is my first time in therapy. What can I expect?

In therapy, you can expect a welcoming and supportive space where you and Brandi will work together to explore your feelings, set personal goals, and develop coping strategies for challenges like anxiety, stress, grief, and more. I’ll tailor our approach using techniques like cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to meet your unique needs, empowering you to make positive changes at your own pace.
