My path into psychiatry is both professional and personal. I moved to the U.S. alone at 17 while navigating complex PTSD and periods of misdiagnosis, which shaped how I understand mental health today. I began with a bachelor’s degree in psychology at Nankai University, then trained as a nurse and nurse practitioner at Charles R. Drew University and Purdue University.
Over the past 7 years, I’ve worked across medical and mental health settings, developing an approach that balances clinical precision with individualized care. I specialize in anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and complex PTSD, particularly for individuals who feel stuck or haven’t found relief in traditional treatment.
I’m licensed in California, Virginia, New York, Washington, and Oregon, and provide care via telehealth.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over eight years of experience providing therapy in both English and Spanish. I work with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families, specializing in trauma, stress, and depression.
I strive to create a warm, supportive space where you feel heard and understood. My approach is collaborative and tailored to your needs, helping you build insight, develop coping skills, and move toward meaningful change.
Whether you’re navigating a difficult time or working through past experiences, I’m here to support you every step of the way.
I have worked as a counselor for over 20 years with individuals, couples and families, both for private and government organizations. My education and training focused on trauma, anxiety, depression and adjustment disorders.
Hi! I’m Brenda Nettey! I have a deep passion for walking alongside individuals on their healing journeys. I specialize in helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, religion/spirituality, grief, self-esteem, and life transitions.
Please feel free to call me Sam. I'm originally from North Carolina and received my bachelor's degree in social work at Appalachian State.
