Getting to know Brandy Mills
The provider is an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist and Associate Professional Clinical Counselor and is currently working under the supervision of a licensed practitioner. Their current employer is Brandy Mills.
I wholeheartedly believe that a strong connection with a therapist can facilitate lasting change. If you're feeling exhausted, stuck and yearning for more, you are not alone. You've come to the right place. I can help you feel lighter, less lonely, and more like the YOU that you desire to be. I am passionately committed to turning rough patches into springboards for real and lasting change.
I’m a mom of 3 school aged kids. I spent a decade in the pharmaceutical industry, before I was a stay-at-home mom, and I’ve also been a yoga teacher, substitute teacher, and volunteer, to name a few. Born and raised in southern Kentucky, I have called Manhattan Beach and the South Bay home since 2017.
I obtained my Masters of Arts in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University-Los Angeles and received my training during graduate school from Jewish Family & Children's Services in Long Beach.
Through my education and training, I quickly found that I have a knack for seeing people that they can feel. I am naturally curious, and that curiosity allows me to help my clients look at things in ways that never occurred to them before. I have been described as warm, compassionate and relatable.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I absolutely love helping adults (especially moms), adolescents and couples to feel more peace and joy in life. My passion is connecting with others in a meaningful way. I believe that my clients are experts in their own lives, and I work with them to help empower themselves to harness that expertise.
Also, my practice does not accept insurance. I am considered "out of network" which means I require payment directly from clients for the sessions. If your insurance offers mental health service benefits, I am happy to send you a superbill to submit to your insurance company directly for reimbursement.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Once I receive your booking, I will send over all necessary paperwork for you to fill out electronically. Even if your appointment is confirmed, I am unable to conduct a session until this paperwork is completed.
In our first session, I will take a lot of time to understand all of your symptoms and goals for therapy. There is no need to prepare ahead. I am naturally curious and inquisitive and will ask you many questions in our first session. I do this to take the guesswork out of the process. I believe the more intimately I can understand you and your situation, the better positioned I will be to help you reach your goals and to feel better.
Of course, though, feel free to bring a list of questions. I want our first and every session to be collaborative. I try to be completely transparent and welcome any and all questions.

Brandy got me in right away and took the time to understand my symptoms well. She made me feel relaxed and comfortable the whole session. It felt like I was talking to an old friend. My time with Brandy gave me insights in my life that I was needing and longing for. I'd highly recommend Brandy for psychotherapy.

Brandy is knowledgeable, tactful and compassionate. She is an excellent listener, and takes time to gather as much information as possible. Her responses are insightful, and open the doors of practical solutions that I would have missed if not for having seen her.
I highly recommend Ms. Mills for those who need clear minded help in dealing with the challenges that life presents to us.
