Getting to know Brandi Durkins

Do you often feel weighed down by the stressors of life? Are you in a season where it has become difficult to self-regulate or simply "get out of your head"? Is it hard to forgive yourself for things that may or may not have been out of your control? I believe that safety is essential for a person to peel back the layers of trauma, hurt, doubt, and uncertainty. Learning about mental health helps us awaken the deepest, most inner parts of ourselves. If you are searching for a safe space to talk through your thoughts free of judgment or bias, then I may be the therapist for you! I'm Brandi Durkins, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s in Social Work from Florida State University. I believe that as the client, you are the expert of your own life. My goal is to listen, assist in processing past and/or current issues, reduce patterns of problematic behavior, and provide healthy strategies to empower you to become the best version of yourself. I work with various solution-focused and cognitive behavioral methods, in addition to other integrative models. Together, we can identify what’s not working—any triggers, sadness, grief, anxiety, depression, relational issues—and find balance in your efforts to seek your true self. We'll use a holistic approach, addressing the needs of your mind, body, and spirit to help you develop a stronger relationship with yourself!

What should a new client know about working with you?

Clients can expect to have a therapeutic environment that provides compassion, empathy & safety. Clients will be able to receive insight into their thoughts, feelings & experiences. Sessions will provide opportunities to explore, ways to how to handle various issues & create positive change. , as well as evidence-based treatment for mental health conditions.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
