I had an amazing first session. I felt seen, heard, and completely at ease. The experience was very comfortable, and I would 100% recommend.

Booking was easy. The insurance coverage was explained well. My session with Brandee was wonderful! She is patient, empathetic, understanding and insightful. I feel comfortable with and confident in her.

I will weave together techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotional Based Training (EBT), Tapping (EFT) and Holistic Psychotherapy to find the tools that work best for you. I am a New York native of Afro native descent, and reside in Brooklyn. As a survivor of abuse I know first hand how hard it can be to process. Through therapy, we can take the opportunity to define life on your terms. You can decide how you want to move forward and which parts of yourself to elevate.
