About Me

I am a licensed psychologist in the state of Texas. I provide a variety of clinical services including psychotherapy and psychological assessment. I have experience in providing psychotherapy with adults, adolescents, children, couples, groups and families. The psychotherapy I typically provide is psychodynamically-oriented. I also provide psychological assessments to provided differential diagnoses, treatment recommendations, and answer a variety of other referral questions.

• I have a doctor of psychology degree (PsyD) in clinical psychology from the Texas School of Professional Psychology.
• I completed a predoctoral-internship in clinical psychology at the Greater Southwest Consortium at Rose Street MHC in Wichita Falls, Texas.
• I completed a postdoctoral residency under Dr. David Sabine in Wichita Falls, Texas.
• The Texas State Board of Examiners of Psychologists licenses me as a Licensed Psychologist. License #34800

My Views on Psychotherapy

I specialize in providing individual psychotherapy. Psychotherapy is a professional relationship intended to help patients alleviate symptoms, increase self-awareness, and improve well-being. People seek individual psychotherapy for a variety of reasons and many want to talk about their lives and difficulties they are having. As the therapeutic alliance develops, the therapy relationship can provide a framework where healing takes place. While the past does not change, within the therapy relationship, the meaning of the past changes.

My Views on Psychological Assessment

Psychological assessment provides the opportunity to evaluate an individual about how similar or different they are from the normative group. Additionally, assessment can provide the opportunity to determine unique strengths and challenges. This can inform interventions for encouraging the strengths and supporting the challenges. However, psychological assessments only provide a snapshot of the patient’s functioning around the time of the evaluation. Therefore, while the evaluation may be helpful in focusing a diagnosis and making treatment recommendations, the results are never the final decision on the patient’s functioning.

Philosophy of Psychotherapy

“Carpe Diem is my personal creed. I want to fully live my life, and have discovered that service to others is my bliss. The clients who work with me are challenged to discover their own path to joy. I don’t presume to know what that path is, but it is our task to work together to untangle, understand, and remove the limitations of the past, and develop the courage to become the persons we are called to be. This is accomplished in the context of a trusting, honest and confidential relationship.”

My philosophy of therapy can be summarized in one simple sentence – “It is the relationship that heals.”

Brandon Arnold, LPC

Too often we encounter stress and challenges in our lives that we struggle to meet and resolve in healthy and constructive ways. As a result, we can become isolated and lonely, panicked, and anxious by stress that threatens to overwhelm us, or sometimes just “stuck” and unsatisfied. Perhaps our old ways of coping with life are no longer as helpful as they once were. We may feel unhappy with ourselves, where we are, and the things we do. The good news is that we do not have to go through it alone.

As a client-focused therapist, I am here to genuinely listen to you and help you find your path through your wonderful life – though it may not always seem so wonderful. I have learned and worked in a variety of settings that enable me to help in a multitude of situations. Whether you are struggling with grief, depression, anxiety, chemical abuse or dependency, relationship dysfunction, or anger, I would love to speak with you and find ways to help you perceive and deal these issues effectively so that you can get on with YOUR life – the life that you deserve.

I am from the Wichita Falls area, graduated in 2006 from Midwestern State University with a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology, and hold professional licensure to practice Counseling and Psychology in Texas. I have worked extensively in both inpatient psychiatric and outpatient clinical settings and am trained to practice from a variety of therapeutic orientations in order to find what works best for my client’s individual needs. Additionally, I am a member of the Texas Counseling Association’s LGBTQ+ Alliance.

Chuck Staats, LCSW

“I like what I do and believe I am good at it. I like to make change fun and pleasant when that is possible and believe it is possible most of the time. I view people as individuals with specific strengths and limitations, who are asking for help to make certain, specific, desired changes in his/her life. I act as if everyone is capable of making their desired changes, within the boundaries of their strengths and limitations and recognize that our boundaries can be expanded or contracted by what one does or does not do, and/or by circumstances.

Parenting has been, and continues to be, one of my most enjoyable and rewarding activities. Although my four children are all adults, and two of them have families of their own, parenting did not stop when any of them became adults, just different.”

“Through an integrated and holistic approach to care, my hope is to help you find peace in accepting the things you cannot change; the inspiration, motivation and courage to change the things that you can; and the insight to understand this difference… even when emotions, thoughts, behaviors, and circumstances are working against what is the most optimal for your healthy living.”  -Aspects of this quote are paraphrased from Reinhold Niebuhr’s published work.
