Brandy Porche, LPC, M.A., CAMS-I

WELCOME! My name is Brandy Porche and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and the sole owner of His Daughter Counseling The Heart, PLLC. I welcome you, your family, and your friends to my private practice. Counseling is my passion and purpose and I am so grateful to be able to serve in this capacity.

I believe in the work and the journey of the healing process. I believe that everyone should actively pursue and walk in healing. Living life necessitates healing on a regular basis. As long as we are living and breathing, we will encounter experiences that require the active work of healing. Unmasking is the first step in the healing process. No more stuffing and minimizing feelings. You owe it to yourself to process all that you have avoided. I am here to help you facilitate the unmasking of your soul. Until we heal, we are literally human band aids walking around sharing wounded experiences. My priority is to equip you and your family with tools and skills that will empower you to grow and walk in your truth on a daily basis.

A little about me. Prior to my counseling career, I spent twenty years in Corporate America as an HR Executive. While my career was fruitful, I no longer felt like I was walking in purpose. So I started my counseling journey and it has been the most fulfilling experience of my life. I am not your traditional counselor. First, all of my counseling services are Christ-Centered. I believe that He is the Ultimate Healer and no true healing can take place without Him. Secondly, I am not the “stiff and stuffy, sit back and nod my head while I analyze you” type of counselor. Our counseling sessions are participative engagements. You are the expert of you and while I have the skills and experience to assist you, counseling requires your active, intentional and purposed participation.

While in graduate school for counseling, I was determined to dissect my dysfunctional family structure. God is so good. I had my eyes set on one goal but His will prevailed. Throughout my counseling program, God showed me just how jacked-up I was. I am so very grateful for the true and genuine healing that took place in me throughout my program. My program allowed me to receive the healing that I didn’t even know I needed. The healing that God knew I would need in order to serve in this capacity.

I did my work. Now it’s your turn. No matter your circumstance, I challenge you to open yourself up to the possibility of healing. As your Counselor, I will offer my perspective, challenge your thought patterns, feelings and behaviors that keep you from realizing who God intended you to be. My core is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) but I am eclectic in the modalities I use for individuals and families. CBT simply means that how you think becomes how you feel and your behavior will always be a result of both. So if we can restructure your thoughts and feelings (your core) regarding past experiences and trauma, healing and change can occur.

I have a Master’s degree in Professional Counseling from Dallas Baptist University. I am a certified Prepare Enrich Facilitator and I am certified in anger management by the National Anger Management Association. I am trained in family systems. My background strategically includes the hospital setting as well as private practice. I am a group therapy advocate.

I work with couples, families, adults, and teens (age 14+). My counseling specialties include Marriage, Pre-Marital, Divorce, Co-Parenting, Anger Management, Trauma, Anxiety, Depression, and Narcissistic Abuse. I offer an evidence-based curriculum for anger management. If you are struggling with trauma, toxic shame, anxiety, depression, codependency, family conflict, spirituality, relationship issues or more, call me today. I can help you with all of the above from a faith-based perspective.

 I collaborate with my clients to reduce stress and improve their overall well-being. In sessions we’ll discuss practical ways to solve current problems, and how past experiences shape your views and responses. I believe that insight into your patterns can help you make decisions that result in long-lasting change and satisfaction. Let’s get to the core! I look forward to serving the needs of you and your family.
