Tami Brugman

Tami Brugman is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Texas with more than two decades of experience. She helps people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy struggles, grief, trauma, and life changes. She also addresses concerns like ADHD, sleep and eating problems, career strain, and coping with natural or human-caused disaster.

Her approach is straightforward and person-focused. She uses a client-centered stance and listens first to understand what matters most. Sessions focus on practical steps and tools the person can try between meetings. Tami draws from a range of methods rather than relying on a single technique.

Tami sees the connection between mind and body as important. She is pursuing a PhD in Applied Psychophysiology at Saybrook University to deepen how she incorporates body-based perspectives. That study informs how she thinks about stress, chronic pain, illness, and caregiver strain.

Over her career she has worked in both community mental health and private practice settings. That range gives her experience with everyday life adjustments and more complex mental health concerns. She aims to partner with people and walk alongside them while they work toward goals.

In sessions she will offer tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, hypnotherapy, and solution-focused strategies as appropriate. The focus is on finding what helps each person move forward, one manageable step at a time.
