Getting to know Brandy Porter
Hello, I'm Brandy, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Addiction Specialist with an MSW and over 12 years of experience in mental health and substance use. I specialize in helping individuals navigate life’s challenges through cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, and trauma-informed care. My approach also includes healing the child within, grief support, and addiction education.
My ideal clients are those feeling overwhelmed by stress, struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, low self-worth, and poor coping strategies, or facing issues related to substance use. I understand the feelings of isolation and hopelessness that can arise during difficult times, as I am also a person in long-term recovery. My approach is empathetic and supportive, creating a safe space for you to explore your thoughts and emotions.
Together, we can identify your strengths, develop effective coping mechanisms, and work toward achieving your personal goals. Whether you’re seeking support for mental health concerns, substance use, or simply need someone to listen and encourage you, I am here to guide you on your journey toward healing and fulfillment. You don’t have to face these challenges alone—let's work together to find your path.

Date: 10 am, Saturday, 9/14/2024.
Today, I had my first appointment with my therapist, and I feel it went really well. She asked me a variety of questions and took the time to listen to my responses, which made me feel heard and understood. I appreciated her approach and felt very comfortable throughout the session.
She also shared a bit about herself, which helped to create a welcoming atmosphere. Overall, I left feeling positive about our first meeting and am looking forward to continuing therapy.
