All of us face difficulties or unexpected challenges at some point in our lives, and sometimes it can feel too overwhelming to manage on our own. I have a compassionate, supportive, and caring approach to counseling, and I know reaching out for help is not easy. Through the counseling process, I can help you to find some peace of mind, and develop your inner strength to move forward.
I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Texas. I have over sixteen years of counseling experience. I earned my graduate degree in marriage and family counseling in California in 2005, and my wife and I moved to Texas in 2009.
My counseling style combines compassion and empathy with a solution-focused approach, utilizing various forms of mindfulness and cognitive-based therapies, such as acceptance commitment therapy, to explore how thoughts and coping styles influence how we manage our feelings. I specialize in depression, anxiety, grief, men's issues, trauma, and relationship issues; and, I help my clients to counter irrational thoughts and beliefs, assess their needs, build on their strengths, and focus on their goals.
I look forward to the opportunity to work with you.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Kevin Brugman. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Kevin Brugman is by far the best therapist I have had over the years-and I have had several.

Kevin is a breath of fresh air. After cycling through many different counselors over the years, I feel like I’m finally connected, growing, and being equipped with tools that are improving my mental well-being and my relationship with my wife. Kevin is patient, compassionate, non-judgemental, and brings a depth of experience to our sessions. I am so thankful he takes time for clients on BetterHelp. As a dad with two young kids, my time for counseling is limited. But thankfully for BetterHelp, I can put my kids to bed and then go back to my office for our evening session. This has been a blessing.

Kevin is smart and caring. Without his help I would never have found out what was causing my deep seated issues. He is thoughtful and well educated on ways that help my mental state.

Kevin is a great listener and helps me to reframe my challenges. I like how he enables me to see - and appreciate - situations from a different perspective. The fact that Kevin is one season in life ahead of me is also a blessing! He has great practical advice to offer in the areas of marriage and parenting.
