Dr. Brandt has been doing clinical counseling work with undergraduate and graduate level university students for the past several years. Most recently, he worked as a Staff Psychologist at Bucknell University, a small, private Liberal Arts institution in Central Pennsylvania. He was a doctoral intern at Student Counseling Services at Texas A&M University, College Station. Prior to that, Dr. Brandt enjoyed working in the university counseling center environment so much that he focused his clinical training for three years as a Graduate Assistant at the University of Tennessee's Counseling Center.
Dr. Brandt approaches counseling work largely from a Humanistic perspective that primarily emphasizes a person's capacity to grow into their fullest self. He also works from a Multicultural and Social Justice-oriented framework that honors how deeply culture and social structures shape one's sense of self and impacts growth. He feels privileged to be a part of each human's growth journey. He enjoys the challenge of helping students in general but has a special passion for working with students with ADHD, student-athletes, and with men and masculinity. Dr. Brandt has also become more curious about the use of Mindfulness practices (particularly Yoga and Meditation) with students and mental health.
Dr. Brandt grew up in Idaho but always dreamed of living somewhere he could surf.
