Brandais is incredible. She has the perfect balance of listening, acknowledging/validating, and great insight/suggestions. She is very sympathetic and understanding, never belittling or judgmental. I have always left a session feeling better, enlightened, and inspired. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone struggling who is looking for an open-minded and experienced therapist!
