You may be carrying grief, feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, struggling in your relationships, or trying to make sense of experiences that still hurt. Whatever brought you here, you deserve space to talk honestly and receive support.
I’m Brandi Crum, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist offering trauma-informed counseling for adults, teens, couples, and families. I provide in-person sessions in Paducah and secure telehealth for clients located throughout Kentucky.
My approach is compassionate, direct, and practical. We’ll work together to understand what you’re experiencing and identify changes that fit your life. Christian counseling is available for clients who want faith included in their care.

Training That Supports Your Care
Along with my license in marriage and family therapy, I hold these certifications:

My training in trauma and anxiety informs how I approach counseling, while your needs, preferences, and goals guide our work together.
What I Help With
Trauma and Complex Trauma
Painful experiences can leave you feeling stuck, guarded, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward. You may understand what happened and still struggle with its impact.
Our work can focus on understanding your responses, developing coping skills, strengthening boundaries, and approaching difficult experiences at a manageable pace.
Anxiety, Depression, and Overwhelm
Perhaps your thoughts rarely slow down, everyday responsibilities feel exhausting, or you’ve been working hard to appear okay while struggling inside.
Counseling offers space to explore what you’re experiencing and develop practical ways to respond to worry, low mood, stress, and self-criticism.
Grief and Loss
You don’t have to make your grief easier for other people to hear. There is room here for sadness, anger, unanswered questions, and the feelings you may not know how to name.
We can explore what you need as you adjust to loss, without forcing a timeline or expecting you to have everything figured out.
Marriage, Couples, and Family Concerns
When conversations keep becoming arguments or distance grows between you, it can be difficult to know where to begin.
I help couples and families explore communication, conflict, boundaries, trust, and connection. My work with couples includes a Gottman-informed approach and tools such as SYMBIS and Prepare/Enrich.
Support for Teens
Teens need opportunities to feel heard and take part in decisions about their care. Counseling can provide space to work through anxiety, difficult emotions, family tension, and relationship concerns while practicing communication and coping skills.
Christian Counseling When You Want It
If your Christian faith is important to you, we can include it in counseling. There is room for your beliefs, your questions, and the seasons when faith feels complicated.
If you prefer counseling without a faith focus, that is welcome too. We’ll discuss what feels helpful and comfortable for you.
What Working Together Looks Like
You don’t need a polished explanation of what’s wrong before reaching out.
We’ll begin by talking about what brought you to counseling, what feels most difficult, and what you hope will change. Together, we’ll identify goals and revisit them as your needs develop.
You can expect thoughtful questions, honest conversations, and practical tools to try between sessions. Your feedback matters, including when something doesn’t feel helpful.
