Brandi Bell, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Brandi!

I create a supportive, client-centered space where you can process grief, expand emotional intelligence, grow confidence in being your authentic self, and learn skills to regulate emotions. I work to destigmatize prioritizing mental health and support individuals exploring and developing identity.

My focus

My background in Wellness Coaching, Clinical Health Education, and Psychotherapy helps me meet clients where they are and support behavior and lifestyle change when they are ready.

My approach

Utilizing a blend of therapeutic approaches—including Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, and Mindfulness—I help clients navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity and resilience.

My communication style

Sessions can be directive or collaborative—I meet you where you are. You can expect a safe space to grow, with room for curiosity, learning, processing, silence, joy, and sadness. I hold space for you to bring your whole self and be supported.

My journey to mental healthcare

I work to destigmatize prioritizing mental health and normalize taking care of yourself. I recognize the need for clinicians who understand supporting individuals in exploring and developing identity.

My goals for you

In a crisis, we often forget our strengths. And in new phases of life, we may find the need for new tools. My approach is meeting clients where they are and supporting the navigation of life stressors.

Our first session

Expect goal setting, sharing what brings you to therapy, and exploring your strengths and past successes in navigating life stressors.
