Brandi Ducote, LMFT

Brandi Ducote, LMFT

Psychotherapist
11590 W. Bernardo Ct. Suite 245, San Diego, CA
Hello! I'm Brandi Ducote. I have been a licensed therapist since 2015 and completed the 3-year Somatic Experiencing Practitioner certification with Somatic Experiencing International in 2021. I earned my Master's in Marital and Family Therapy from Alliant International University and hold a Bachelor's degree from San Diego State University. My experience is primarily in working with substance abuse, grief and loss, anger, chronic anxiety, panic attacks, trauma, relationships, and self-esteem. My introduction to the mental health field was in 2011 at San Diego Hospice, where I worked as a Grief and Bereavement Counselor. I then worked for many years in substance use treatment programs and opened my private practice, Somatic Psychotherapy San Diego, in 2022. I enjoy working with individuals of all backgrounds and abilities and am LGBTQIA+ friendly.

Getting to know Brandi Ducote

Hello! I'm Brandi Ducote. I have been a licensed therapist since 2015 and completed the 3-year Somatic Experiencing Practitioner certification with Somatic Experiencing International in 2021. I earned my Master's in Marital and Family Therapy from Alliant International University and hold a Bachelor's degree from San Diego State University.

What should a new client know about working with you?

IMPORTANT: Please note that Brandi Ducote, LMFT is not in-network with any insurance policies. If you are interested in receiving a Super Bill for services, please ask Brandi directly. Brandi utilizes a blend of top-down (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing) and bottom-up (Somatic Experiencing, Polyvagal Theory) therapeutic techniques to assist her clients in integrating who they are as a person (belief system, values, preferences) with what their body as an organism needs to feel safe and move past emotional stuck points. It is her goal to fully understand the unique perspective of each individual she works with so that she can help them reach their goals.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

As we discuss presenting problems and life events that trigger emotional pain, you will be invited to notice any physiological (body-based) responses that occur during the session. Doing so allows access to the natural survival impulses that became thwarted during the original event(s). There is then an opportunity to fully process and complete these survival responses (through the use of movement, vocalization, imagery, boundary exploration exercises, etc.) leading to a discharge/release of any stuck survival energy.
