About
As a career-oriented woman living with lifelong anxiety and attention issues, I understand the unique issues encountered in overcoming the day-to-day stress involved in managing the many roles associated with fulfilling personal, family, and career obligations.
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 and the specialty of psychiatry. She decided to pursue an advanced degree as a PMHNP to effectively contribute and reach her personal goal to enhance the delivery of the mental health care to assist patients/families in better management and 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.

Therapy for men maintains a focus on the emotional and mental impacts of being a man in society, dealing with issues like the pressures of toxic masculinity and the traditional familial roles of men, among others. Thriveworks The Woodlands therapists who specialize in treating men work to create a safe space for them to emote and care for their mental well-being without fear of judgment.
Therapy for men has many aspects of traditional psychotherapy, but it also maintains a clear person-centered and humanistic approach. Thriveworks The Woodlands therapists will work with men to reach their therapy goals through self-reflection and introspection—uncovering specific emotional, behavioral, and mental patterns that are having a negative effect or are inhibiting personal growth and slowly working to change them over time.
Therapy for men at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Therapy for men can last for a few months or occur over the course of years, often continuing until the client feels that their goals are met and their desired growth has been achieved. However, it will likely last at least five months, as that is the average amount of time it takes for the therapeutic process to take effect and bring about lasting change.
Counseling for men at Thriveworks in The Woodlands is built to help you gain a deeper understanding of what is going on in your life and give you the action steps to heal, grow, and succeed in the ways you have imagined for yourself.

Whatever you are facing, Thriveworks The Woodlands promises to be client-centered and nonjudgmental. Our clients come in facing problems from college graduation to messy divorces to trauma. Nothing you bring in will be too big or too small for our The Woodlands counselors.
Our goal is not to tell you what to do or make all your problems disappear, but to be by your side as we problem solve and heal together. Sometimes, all you need is a little space to simply be- to process, sit, and explore.
Other times, you need more advanced therapeutic techniques to help you. Our The Woodlands therapists are trained and excellent in both.
Many of the therapeutic techniques you will encounter in a Counseling for Men session can be found in other topic-specific sessions. It’s how our counselors apply these techniques that will be different. Society has taught you to push away emotions, think practically, and fill the role you’ve been assigned.
Thriveworks in The Woodlands thinks society has no place telling you how to think, feel, and live. When the expectations of society are weighing heavily on you, we can help lift some of the load. Taking a step back and acknowledging the stereotypes you’re expected to fit into is often the first step in finding your freedom.
Any issue can be address in Counseling for Men, but some are more common than others. A few of the more common situations we see in Men’s Counseling include:
Just as your physical or financial health is important enough to dedicate time and energy towards them, your mental and emotional health is just as important in living a healthy, well balanced, and fulfilling life. It can seem impossible to juggle them all, but our counselors in The Woodlands are here to teach you how and encourage you every step of the way!
You have the power to make yourself into the person you want to be. The path society has set for you doesn’t have to be the path you follow. For more information, or to schedule an appointment today, give us a call at 281-667-9790.
