Alan Brandis, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist
I work with a wide variety of common and uncommon issues, with adults, teens and children ... non-drug approaches for ADHD; testing and treating children, teens, and adults; using therapeutic techniques and helping parents with children's problem behaviors. I've spent years assessing and treating ADHD and have a deep understanding of a variety of approaches to treat it, including medication, nutritional/herbal, and neurofeedback. I help adults get through depression, anxiety, relationship and work problems, and to move from getting out of a problem to enhancing and finding meaning and engagement in life. Your life should, ultimately, be the antidepressant!

Center for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness
Psychologist, PhD, JD
At the Center for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness, we believe everyone can benefit from therapy. From the time we’re young, we’re taught how to take care of our physical health and our bodies, but we’re not generally taught how to manage our thoughts and emotions so we can take care of our mental wellbeing. Many people never seek psychological help, and others may only seek it when they are experiencing a crisis. We aim to change this. We believe that investing in your psychological health is essential to overall wellbeing, no matter your life circumstances. Life is challenging, and everyone can use support. We believe in providing care across the spectrum of psychological health, and in fostering mental and emotional wellbeing in addition to treating mental illness. We believe strongly in providing only evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapies: therapy that has proven to be effective through copious research studies. We also employ only doctoral-level clinicians who are highly trained experts in providing these evidence-based services.

Carolyn Murphy, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Counseling Psychology
My approach to therapy is interactive and supportive, with an overall goal of increasing self-awareness and coping skills to help promote the kind of changes that you would like to see. I believe that the quality of the therapist/client relationship is paramount to effective therapy. Because of this, I highly encourage you to choose a therapist that feels like a "good fit" for you. I always start with an initial consultation appointment where I can learn more about your background and reasons for seeking therapy, answer any questions you may have, and then plan together from there. Starting therapy can feel daunting or overwhelming for many people, so it is important that we work at a pace that feels comfortable to you.

13 Years Experience
Online in Columbia, MO
Columbia is home to the University of Missouri, the flagship state university, as well as several other colleges, giving it a pronounced college-town character and a mental health landscape significantly shaped by the needs of a large and diverse student population navigating academic pressure, identity, and the transition to adulthood. The MU School of Health Professions and Missouri Psychiatric Center contribute to the city's mental health professional resources, and a well-developed private therapy sector serves both the university community and permanent residents. The city has a generally progressive and intellectually engaged culture with a positive attitude toward therapy, and LGBTQ+ affirmative care is more accessible here than in many other parts of Missouri. Common therapy concerns include student mental health, academic and identity stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and the particular experiences of a university community navigating complex social terrain in a politically divided state.
