“It is obvious she cares. That's the first thing. She is not just punching a time clock to complete one session and get to the next. Brandy has a great feel for being challenging but not demanding, delving into sensitive/difficult areas but not being intrusive, and being straightforward but not confrontational. And, she offers tangible solutions that make each week feel productive to me. It feels like I have something to put to use. That is very valuable to me.”

Getting to know Brandy Stewart
I am Brandy Stewart, a licensed clinical social worker in California with 19 years of clinical experience serving children, adolescents, transition age youth, adults and families. I help individuals who struggle with managing relationship issues resolve interpersonal conflicts to promote healthy overall functioning. I also help people manage emotional distress and conflict, as they heal from the past, in order to achieve a greater wellbeing.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Clients can expect to get as much out of therapy as they are willing to put into it. And to laugh. A lot (and possibly cry, since I do have a track record of clients becoming emotional during sessions). Different clients have different needs or goals for therapy & in turn, I feel like I am somewhat of a different therapist to different clients. Some are very focused on learning coping strategies while others are looking for someone to talk to who is objective, non-judgmental, & has a fresh perspective. Some are living with chronic physical, mental or other conditions & are grieving the loss of their independence or former life. But the most important thing I want my clients to take away from our sessions is the feeling of being truly seen & heard, without judgment or reservation.

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.

Brandy is clear about the environment she wants to create between her and her client. She makes it safe and easy for me to be vulnerable while challenging me when necessary. I look forward to our meetings!

Brandy is very intelligent and skilled at what she does. She provides therapy in a way that is not invasive or overwhelming. She moves at your pace, does great with processing, and doesn’t tell you what to do but rather encourages and lets you come to the realization of what may work best! In just a few short weeks she has helped me make great progress and has been a real blessing in my life. I’m thankful I came across her profile and selected her as my therapist!
