I've been seeing Brenda Beard close to a year now. I have never felt so safe and comfortable with any professional in the medical field. She listens..I mean REALLY listens to me. We have had sessions when I just rant & rant for what seems like forever and she patiently waits until I'm done and she'll then try to come up with coping mechanisms to help me. We actually communicate with each other..and in my experience that's not common with therapists, because many talk at you not with you. Her professionalism is profoundly uni... read more

I met Brenda many years ago in an outpatient group. I do not trust people but for some reason I felt comfortable. When my therapist at the time quit seeing outpatients I panicked. The first person I thought that maybe I could be successful with was Brenda. I had help to track her down and the rest of this story has been positive. She is kind, caring and very understanding when things get overwhelming and I just jump to another subject.

I started seeing Brenda after a brain injury. She has helped me tremendously along the way. A therapist is not suppose to “hold your hand”, they need to help guide you down the correct path. Once you reach the “door”, it’s up to you whether or not you’re going to go through it. After walking through it, you’ll find them again waiting to help guide you down the “new” path. Dealing with a brain injury, that can be very scary. Sure, I’ve “fallen on my face”, a time or two. Brenda has always been there for me to help me up. I’m ... read more
