Dr. Brandy Engler
Founder, Psychologist
Silver Lake Psychology is a woman-owned business with an all-woman leadership team, that has become a rapidly growing mental health network across four states. Psychologist and author, Dr. Brandy Engler is the Founder of Silver Lake Psychology. Following the success of her books, The Men on My Couch (BerkleyBooks) and The Women on My Couch, Dr. Engler began a group practice to meet the overwhelming demand. Dr. Engler had the vision for a company culture built on her relationship expertise to foster empathy, empower the client voice in their treatment and create inclusivity. New clients are greeted with a warm welcome, their stories are heard and their therapist hand-picked. In the early days, Dr. Engler would see clients in the evening and took calls from prospective clients during the day. Because she was engaged in deep listening to the community; what people wanted from therapy and what barriers they experienced to accessing mental health care, she created a company that puts client needs first. Silver Lake Psychology is now affiliated with hospitals and universities, offers 120 different therapy specialties and therapy in 17 different languages.

1 in 5 adults suffers from a mental health condition. The path to feeling better starts here.
Therapy is effective when two conditions are met: the clinician uses techniques based on research supported protocols and the therapist ‘feels like a fit’–meaning a personality match that leads to a bond, or therapeutic relationship that itself becomes healing and transformative. It’s hard to quantify the value of feeling heard, understood, challenged and supported.Research indicates that Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is effective for anxiety, social anxiety, depression, trauma, obsessive-compulsive disorders, phobias and panic attacks.
