Brandon McNeilly, intern

Although born in Knoxville, Brandon grew up in Dalton, GA. He attended The University of Georgia where he received a BBA in finance. After graduation, he worked in various roles in the insurance industry and eventually made his way back to Knoxville where he has lived and worked for over twenty years.

By engaging in his own therapeutic journey, Brandon began to experience a calling to the counseling profession. He is currently a graduate student at Richmont Graduate University pursuing his Master’s degree. His anticipated graduation date is May 2024.

Brandon takes an integrated approach to counseling which allows him to tailor therapy to his client’s needs. He is drawn to systems and developmental models, but ultimately believes mental wellness incorporates mind, body, and spirit. He has a heart to help individuals, couples, and families navigate and heal from a wide range of issues including compulsive behaviors (drugs, alcohol, sex, gambling, etc.), infidelity and betrayal, trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, and questions of faith.

Brandon met his wife, Grace, swing dancing. They have been married thirteen years and have two daughters (Lucy and Clementine). In addition to dancing, he enjoys getting outside, reading, spending time with friends and family, laughing, and working on home improvement projects.
