Dr. Brandi Treadway

Dr. Brandi Treadway is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in Tennessee with 14 years of experience. She focuses on helping people through relationships, life changes, and struggles with mood and self-worth. Her work includes attention to eating and food-related issues when these affect mood, body image, or daily functioning.

She uses straightforward conversation to help people identify what matters most to them. Sessions often focus on practical coping skills, clearer communication, and steps toward healthier routines. The aim is to build tools that fit into a person's real life, not just ideas on a page.

Dr. Treadway pays close attention to how culture, identity, and work life shape problems. That means looking at how discrimination, workplace strain, or cultural expectations affect stress, relationships, and self-image. She tries to make space for those experiences in each session.

Her approach draws from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, emotionally-focused methods, mindfulness, and narrative techniques. Those tools are used to help people reframe difficult thoughts, calm intense emotions, and rewrite personal stories that feel stuck.

People come to her for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, trauma, ADHD, and body image concerns. She aims to offer steady support and practical strategies so people can move toward clearer goals and better daily functioning.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's experience and priorities, with the therapist asking questions and reflecting what matters most to help people make their own changes. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact, teaching practical steps to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name strong emotional experiences and build healthier ways to connect and respond to those emotions.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past, then try methods that fit a client's needs. This is a collaborative process and can shift over time as progress is made.

Confirm current online session options before booking, since session formats are not specified in this biography. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit into busy schedules, cut travel time, and make it easier to keep regular appointments. Online sessions can also allow shorter check-ins or meetings during a break from work, or reduce the need to be on camera when that feels better for the client.
