Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • Griffin, GA


I’m Brandee, PMHNP-BC and founder of Kaleidoscope ClearPath Wellness. I believe mental health care should feel supportive, personal, and easy to understand. Healing happens when we slow down, listen to ourselves, and take small, caring steps forward. My approach blends mental health care with mindfulness, balance, and everyday habits that support your whole life. Here you'll find a gentle, judgment-free space for growth and clarity. My goal is simple; help you feel better and move forward with confidence.

Therapist

My mother taught me and my brothers from a very young age not to ever hate anyone. Her words have been invaluable to me. My father instilled in us boys a mantra that too has served me well. He said to us innumerable times "Listen." Neither of my parents were strict disciplinarians, and they never used corporal punishment. But, from boyhood, through adolescence and into young adulthood, my brothers and I could count on a well-deserved lecture and extra chores if either of my parents ever caught us breaking one of these rules. My parents' philosophy helped steer me into my life's work, and I employ their beliefs daily in my career as a therapist. I believe people seek counseling so they can be accepted, validated and heard. I committed to myself long ago to never hate and to always listen to my patients/clients/consumers, regardless of their behaviors.Validation, empowerment and dignity are what I strive to create, cultivate and reap in every therapeutic alliance into which I enter.

I am a certified IMAGO relationship therapist and believe that more than anything else it is the state of our relationships that determine our overall happiness or despair.I am in the process of being certified in TEAM CBT Which is a very effective therapy especially for Depression and Anxiety.I have a particular interest and experience treating adult ADHD

and also have certification as a Professional

Coach.I have been involved in Christian ministry and I'm a good choice for some one who would like a therapist who has a Christian worldd view but does clinical therapy.

I'm JW "Cliff" Williams, I completed a M.Ed. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2015. I'm a Licensed Counselor in Georgia and hold National Board Certification through NBCC. I'm also a Master Addiction Counselor. My theoretical orientation combines elements of REBT, Reality Therapy, and ACT. Clients have described me as "down to Earth" and I like that description. My goal is to help you learn and discover the things about YOU which are intensifying your emotional difficulties. "It's not the things that happen that upset us, but how we think about those things." - Epictetus. You already have the power to make the changes you want. My job is to help you identify the power and provide you with the tools to achieve your goals.

Hello there, my number one priority is to see clients within 1 to 5 business days to begin the process of assisting them with a hot topic known as "Life-ing." Today, I consider myself blessed because I find it rewarding in seeing clients reach their maximum potential. In addition to my mental health background for over 28 years, I have my own life experiences, coupled with being married to a minister, motherhood, and personal trauma, which have proven to be beneficial in my scope of practice.

I have done extensive work with grief/loss, anxiety, relational, premarital, substance use, and Christian Counseling.

Therapist

Virtual • Georgia


I’ve been serving individuals, families, and communities in behavioral health for over 20 years. My experience spans community mental health, substance abuse treatment, employee assistance programs, probation and parole systems, juvenile courts, and crisis intervention settings.

I’ve worked closely with individuals navigating depression, anxiety, substance use, life transitions, court involvement, workplace stress, and family conflict. I understand how overwhelming it can feel when multiple systems — work, family, legal, or financial — are weighing on you at once.

Many of my clients come to me feeling stuck, exhausted, or unsure where to start. You don’t have to have everything figured out before reaching out. My role is to help you sort through what feels heavy, clarify what needs attention first, and create a practical plan for change.

I bring both clinical expertise and real-world understanding. I’ve collaborated with courts, DFCS, probation officers, and corporate employers — so I understand the pressures that can impact your mental health from all angles.
