Hi, I'm Brandy Unger, a dedicated psychotherapist passionate about helping you navigate life's challenges and find your path to a balanced, meaningful, and fulfilling life.

My Credentials and Experience With a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health and a Juris Doctorate, I bring a unique blend of expertise to my practice. I'm a National Board-Certified Counselor and a Licensed Professional Counselor in both Texas and Louisiana. My journey has equipped me with specialized experience in forensic psychology, having worked as a capital mitigation specialist in death penalty cases in Louisiana. This diverse background enables me to offer profound insights and support to my clients. My Approach I specialize in guiding individuals, couples, and families through significant life changes, trauma, vicarious trauma, grief, loss, anxiety, and depression.
