Brandie Statham
MFTI
Brandie Statham is a dedicated Marriage and Family Therapist who specializes in helping individuals navigate the complexities of relationships, transitions, identity, and the often messy realities of being human.
She provides a warm and collaborative space for those dealing with anxiety, trauma, grief, or strained relationships, ensuring that her clients never have to face their challenges alone.
Brandie’s therapeutic approach is rooted in empathy, curiosity, and a deep respect for each person’s journey.
She fosters an environment where therapy feels like a meaningful conversation characterized by compassion and support rather than judgment.
Brandie approaches therapy through a systemic lens, always considering the broader context of her clients’ lives, including their relationships, culture, family dynamics, and the environments that have shaped them.
This perspective allows her to be fully present and attuned in the therapy room, recognizing that healing occurs in connection with others.
She works with children, teens, adults, couples, and families.
Her clinical interests encompass trauma, life transitions, parenting at any stage, chronic illness, faith transitions, mixed-faith relationships, anxiety, depression, self-worth, and identity development, as well as premarital and relational work.
As a mother of five young adult children and a partner in a 26-year marriage, Brandie brings her lived experiences into her practice.
She has navigated many of the same developmental phases and emotional challenges that her clients face—parenting, partnership, loss, and reinvention.
This shared understanding allows her to walk alongside her clients during their most vulnerable moments, creating a space where they can be their authentic selves without hiding or feeling like you have to act.
Brandie’s diverse background has been shaped by a variety of landscapes and cultures.
She has lived in the mountains of Colorado, on sprawling ranches in Montana, on the East Coast in Virginia, and across the world in Taiwan.
These experiences have instilled in her a deep appreciation for diversity, resilience, and the influence of environment on personal relationships.
Travel is one of her greatest joys, with favorite destinations including Palau, Sri Lanka, the Philippines, Costa Rica, and Hong Kong.
She believes that food, culture, and connection are intertwined, and she brings this spirit of openness into her work with clients.
Outside of her therapy practice, Brandie enjoys walking her dog, hiking mountain trails, watching her children play rugby, and throwing pottery in her studio.
She finds joy in creating, whether with clay or in the kitchen, and believes that engaging in hands-on activities can be a powerful way to reconnect with oneself.
On weekends, she might be paddleboarding on a serene alpine lake or camping with her family, relishing the fresh air and the simple pleasure of a perfectly roasted marshmallow.
These grounding activities inspire her to encourage her clients to seek out what brings them peace and stability.
Brandie’s therapeutic foundation is client-centered and trauma-informed.
She draws from a wide range of evidence-based theories and modalities, recognizing that each individual is unique and that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to healing.
She tailors each session to align with her clients’ needs, values, and goals, emphasizing that therapy is a collaborative process where clients are the experts in their own lives.
As Carl Rogers famously stated,
“It is the client who knows what hurts, what directions to go, what problems are crucial.”
Brandie’s role is to create a safe and gentle space for exploration at each client’s own pace.
Having engaged in her own inner work and continuing to do so, Brandie believes that a therapist should show up authentically and with humility.
She is committed to ongoing learning and growth to better serve her clients.
Whether exploring relationship patterns, building coping skills, processing trauma, or making sense of life’s complexities, Brandie is fully present for her clients.
One of her favorite quotes from Brené Brown resonates deeply with her practice:
“Vulnerability is the path back to each other—but we’re so afraid to get on it.”
Brandie understands the fear that can accompany opening up, but she believes that with the right support, vulnerability transforms into a strength rather than a weakness.
She is dedicated to walking alongside her clients toward connection, clarity, and healing.
Ultimately, Brandie views therapy as a journey toward becoming one’s true self.
It is about learning to trust one’s own voice, reconnecting with personal values, and discovering how to show up authentically in relationships, family, and life.
For those ready to embark on this transformative process, Brandie would be honored to accompany them on their journey.
Are you needing more than weekly therapy for anxiety or addiction?
Check out a higher level of care Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) for mental health and addiction.
Lets face it, who likes to talk about their crap with other people?
If you’re like most clients, you’re used to being judged despite hearing so many people talk about non judgment and when you do open up, it seems like the more you share, the less likely you are to get compassion.
We’ve worked our butts off to create a clinic where the unfiltered, real you, can show up and heal, so dammit give therapy a chance!
We love the unfiltered real you, let’s heal together. – Utah Family Therapy Team
