Brandy Gardner
Psychologist
About Brandy
I am a licensed clinical psychologist and retired United States Army veteran with 23 years of active-duty service, during which I served as both a clinical psychologist and combat medic. I am licensed to practice psychology in Virginia and Arizona and hold PSYPACT Authority to Practice Interjurisdictional Telepsychology, allowing me to provide telepsychological services across participating states.
With over 20 years of clinical and consultative experience, I specialize in psychological assessment, trauma, stress management, emotional wellness, and occupational psychology. My professional background includes working with individuals from diverse backgrounds, including military personnel, first responders, professionals in high-stress occupations, and individuals navigating personal, emotional, and psychological challenges.
My clinical approach emphasizes evidence-based practices, individualized care, and a collaborative therapeutic relationship. I am committed to helping individuals better understand their emotional and behavioral patterns, develop effective coping strategies, strengthen resilience, and navigate life’s challenges. My areas of expertise include trauma-related concerns, anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, adjustment difficulties, and psychological well-being.
