Brenda Broadnax

Brenda Broadnax is an LPC licensed in Virginia with a master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling and 23 years of clinical work. She began her career as a therapeutic day treatment counselor in a public school setting in Virginia, providing direct support to students with emotional and behavioral disabilities. Those early roles shaped a practice grounded in hands-on clinical support and coordination with other systems.

Her subsequent work has included a practice setting serving children, adolescents, families and adults with dual diagnoses, and county-level work with individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia and other complex conditions. Over the years she has worked with a broad range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship and family matters, trauma and abuse, post-traumatic stress, mood disorders, self-harm, addiction issues, and populations affected by homelessness, human trafficking, or domestic violence.

Her counseling style is described as warm and interactive. She emphasizes respect and dignity, and works without judgment. Her approach integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, Client-Centered principles, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Mindfulness, along with other integrative methods noted in her clinical background.
