Hey,
💬 About Us – Meet Dr. Judith Brannon
“Therapy isn’t about fixing you. It’s about helping you reconnect with your strength, your voice, and your sense of peace.”
— Dr. Judith Brannon, PhD, LMFT, PPS
🌿 Welcome, I’m Glad You’re Here
I’m Dr. Judith Mercedes Brannon, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, EMDR-trained, and passionate about helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges with clarity and courage.
With over a decade of experience in mental health and education, I bring a grounded, compassionate approach to the therapeutic space. Whether you’re facing anxiety, healing from trauma, navigating relationship stress, or supporting a struggling child, I provide a safe, supportive place to be seen, heard, and understood.
🧩 My Approach to Therapy
I believe that healing happens in connection—with ourselves, our stories, and with those around us. Therapy with me is not one-size-fits-all. I tailor each session based on your goals, your pace, and what feels meaningful to you.
My approach combines:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – for practical tools and mindset shifts
- Strengths-Based & Solution-Focused Therapy – to highlight your resilience and move forward with intention
- Psychodynamic Therapy – to explore deeper patterns and how your past informs your present
- EMDR – a research-backed method for processing trauma and emotional wounds
Above all, I lead with empathy, honest reflection, and sometimes a little humor—because real healing doesn’t have to be heavy all the time.
👥 Who I Work With
- Adults struggling with anxiety, stress, self-worth, life transitions, or unresolved trauma
- Couples wanting to reconnect, rebuild trust, or improve communication
- Families navigating conflict, parenting concerns, or generational dynamics
- Children & Teens experiencing emotional distress, behavioral challenges, or school stressors
🧘🏽♀️ What You Can Expect
From our very first conversation, my goal is to make you feel welcomed, safe, and supported.
- A non-judgmental space to express yourself freely
- A collaborative process—you’re in charge, and I’m here to guide and support
- Compassionate listening paired with honest, respectful feedback
- A commitment to your growth, healing, and emotional wellbeing
Therapy is a brave act of self-care—and you don’t have to do it alone.
