Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Bedford, TX

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor who believes you don’t have to be falling apart for therapy to make sense. I work with adolescents and adults navigating ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, relationships, grief, identity, and major life transitions. I’ve spent my career as both a therapist and mental health leader, and I bring that experience into the room with warmth, curiosity, humor, and practical support. You don’t have to have the perfect words or know exactly what’s wrong—we can figure that out together.

Hello! I have a Masters of Education in Counseling and Human Development and have been a Licensed Professional Counselor since 2002, with Supervisory status (2020). I am also a Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist (CTRS) and have been since 1993. I am dedicated to fostering peace, respect, and healing within individuals and families. I am nurturing, patient and non-judgmental to help create a supportive environment where challenges can be addressed. I am a vocal advocate for children, teenagers, and adults. I have worked in psychiatric hospitals, RTC's, with TYC, private practice (all ages for individuals and families) and MHMR (focus on crisis counseling for children and teenagers). Trauma, depression, anxiety, crisis, and grief are some of my speciality areas.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas with a Master of Social Work degree from the University of Houston. I specialize in helping adults and older adults navigate workplace stress, family challenges, and emotional wellbeing. My areas of focus include career burnout, work-life balance, anxiety, depression, intimate partner violence, divorce, caregiving stress, and cross-cultural adjustment.

I believe every person carries an inner strength that can be uncovered and nurtured. In therapy, I provide a safe, compassionate space where you can share your story, build resilience, and move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Brandy Cooks is a dedicated and compassionate Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with a deep commitment to providing holistic, patient-centered care. With a unique blend of experience in both education and healthcare, Brandy is passionate about empowering individuals to take charge of their well-being and achieve their personal health goals.

I’m a Doctor of Nursing Practice–trained Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a career shaped by service, compassion, and a genuine love for helping people feel seen, supported, and capable of healing. Before becoming a PMHNP, I spent many years as a CNA and later earned my BSN from the University of the Incarnate Word in 2015 in San Antonio, TX. I worked bedside at University Hospital, transitioned to hospice in 2016, and later served in case management at UTHSCSA. In 2023, I began my DNP–PMHNP program, completing it while working full time at Clarity Child Guidance Center. On December 13th, 2025, I was officially granted the title of “Dr.”, became board certified as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner on February 9th, 2026, and finally obtained my APRN with the Texas Board of Nursing on March 12th, 2026!

My doctoral project focused on reducing seclusion rates for children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder using evidence‐based, trauma‐informed interventions—an area close to my heart as a parent of a special‐needs child. I’m passionate about geriatric psychiatry and child & adolescent psychiatry, and I bring a calm, grounded, and collaborative style to treatment.

I also briefly served in the United States Air Force, an experience that strengthened my commitment to resilience, service, and advocacy. Today, I continue to advocate for women affected by domestic violence, helping them reclaim safety, confidence, and possibility.

On a personal note, I’m a mom of two boys, happily married for 11 years, and the proud owner of four dogs. Outside of work, you’ll usually find me drinking coffee, shopping for plants, collecting perfumes, baking, cooking, or spending time with family and friends. These parts of my life help me stay balanced, grounded, and connected—values I bring into every therapeutic relationship.

Whether you’re adjusting to motherhood, managing anxiety, navigating relationship concerns, healing from past experiences, or feeling overwhelmed by the demands of daily life, therapy can provide a space to pause, reflect, and move forward with intention.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I work with primarily adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, life transitions, women’s issues, and maternal mental health concerns. I believe that healing begins when we feel seen, heard, and supported without judgment.

My therapeutic style is warm, affirming, and collaborative. I tailor treatment to each individual’s unique needs and draw from evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness-based practices, and solution-focused interventions.

My goal is to help you build on your strengths, develop practical tools for everyday challenges, and create meaningful change that aligns with the life you want to live. Wherever you are in your journey, we can begin there.
