Hello! I am Dr. Pfeifer. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and have worked for 10+ years in the world of mental health. I hold a Doctorate degree in Clinical Psychology. I have treated a wide range of mental health needs with experience treating complex trauma and co-occurring disorders. I have experience providing therapeutic support to children, adolescents, adults, and couples. I was born and raised in a military community, so I am well-versed and comfortable in any and all veteran's or military affairs. In addition, I work as a supervisor, mentoring interns toward their license in the state of Missouri.
My therapeutic style will be suited to the need of my client. I am well practiced in cognitive behavioral therapy, reality therapy, client-centered therapy, dialectical behavior therapy and trauma focused therapies. I have spent the majority of my career focusing on trauma.
Life offers many peaks and valleys, but even in the darkest of times, there is a peak still waiting to present itself to you. I am honored and humbled to be able to help others seek their way out of the valley so they can enjoy the peak!

Brandy is good at explaining what’s going on with me. That helps so much with making my problems feel real and addressable. Increasing my understanding of how my mind is effecting my body was a true gift.
