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.

Through the use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Techniques and other evidenced based practices, I assist those seeking a brand-new start to let go and accept their past so that they can invest in their future. While having a Doctorate of Education in Counseling Psychology, has provided me with the education to engage in expert counseling strategies, it has been the 20 years of hands on experience that has given me the emotional tools to help those take that first step to a new beginning.

I'm a therapist, punk, and human. I help late diagnosed (or suspecting!)

I am also trained in EMDR and group therapy facilitation for trauma processing and resilience building. Let's rise together!
