Dr. Brandi Norman is a Clinical Psychologist in Joplin, Missouri. She works with clients of diverse backgrounds, including individuals (18 and older), couples, and families. Many of Dr. Norman's clients come in when they are experiencing stress related to anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and when it is difficult to cope with life circumstances. Dr. Norman is particularly passionate about serving couples, families, and individuals ages 18 and up. She has advanced training in the area of Marriage and Family Therapy and working with gifted individuals in the medical/dental field.
Dr. Norman prefers to use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which emphasizes mindfulness and exploration of values to cope with negative thoughts, feelings, symptoms, or circumstances. When working with couples, there is an emphasis on learning communication skills and emotional connections to deepen the couple's relationship. She prefers to use the Gottman Method when seeing couples. In the session, Dr. Norman focuses on listening compassionately, the therapeutic relationship, and meeting the client where they are at. This approach supports clients and improves a sense of well-being.
Dr. Norman's style is client-centered. When a client first comes in, the clinician listens closely to the presenting problem and collaboratively develops a treatment plan.
Dr. Norman received her Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the School of Professional Psychology at Forest Institute. She received a post-degree certificate in Marriage and Family Therapy. She gained experience at the APA-accredited Robert J. Murney Clinic, Burrell Behavioral Health, Ozark Center, and is currently an Associate Director of Counseling at KCU.
