About Provider

About Brandy

Brandy Messiah is a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with a mission to deliver quality mental health care to individuals and their families by providing a safe, nonjudgmental environment to foster a strong therapeutic alliance with the patient and/or family. Brandy began a nursing career in 2009 as a Registered Nurse (RN) and spent the next 10 years as a bedside nurse in emergency medicine, psychiatry (outpatient programs & inpatient hospitals), long-term intensive care units (ICU), step-down ICU/cardiac/telemetry, home-health, and hospice. 

Throughout her nursing career Brandy witnessed the many disparities in the delivery and approach to mental health issues. This led her to develop an intense passion for the mental health population. Her personal goal is to enhance the delivery of the mental health care to assist patients to better outcomes associated with mental health conditions. 

Brandy thoroughly enjoys direct patient care and values the therapeutic relationship between patient/family and provider as the foundation to success in outpatient psychiatry. In this relationship, she will be able to provide you with the relevant education and resources, and better assist you in your own, unique journey in the recovery and healing process.

Get to know Brandy

Why did you decide to become a psychiatric provider?

To assist in the delivery of better outcomes associated with mental health. I have a profound passion with the specialty of psychiatry and providing excellent care to the clients I have the pleasure to help while they navigate their own unique journey in life. My greatest reward is seeing patients gain hope, build resilience, and experience meaningful improvements in their mental health and overall quality of life.

What types of clients do you work best with?

Adults ages 18 and older.

How do you tailor therapy to meet each client’s unique needs?

I recognize that every person's journey is unique, and I strive to provide individualized, evidence-based care that respects each patient's values, strengths, and goals.


What can clients expect in their first session with you and in the early stages of therapy?

A relaxed, non-judgmental introduction with a focus on building a strong foundation centered upon trust, mutual respect in the provider-client therapeutic relationship. We will discuss the basics of the visits, company policies and allow time for any concerns/questions that the client/family has. I consider it a privilege to walk alongside my patients during any point of their journey, I never take that responsibility for granted.

What's one thing you wish all clients knew about therapy, mental health, or the healing process?

Mental health & well-being takes time and patience. An open, honest rapport is the fastest way to achieve your optimal level of mental health.

What personal experiences or values inform your practice as a therapist/provider?

My practice is guided by compassion, respect, and the belief that every individual deserves to be heard without judgment. Throughout my nursing career and my own personal struggles, I witnessed firsthand how mental health affects every aspect of a person's life and how often individuals struggle to access compassionate, patient-centered care. These experiences inspired me to become a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and dedicate my career to improving the quality of mental health care.
