Tami Brugman , LMFT

Tami Brugman is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 24 years of experience. She is licensed in Texas and has worked across community mental health and private practice settings. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, depression, ADHD, trauma and abuse, grief, codependency, caregiving strain, chronic illness, and related challenges.

She works in a client-centered way and prefers practical conversation over jargon. Sessions focus on what feels stuck and on clear steps a person can try between visits. She also pays attention to how physical health and stress affect thinking and mood.

Tami draws on a mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, mindfulness practices, and hypnotherapy. She brings tools from each approach depending on the person and the problem. That might mean learning new skills, testing small behavioral changes, or practicing mindful awareness of upsetting thoughts.

Her current study in Applied Psychophysiology reflects an interest in how the body and brain interact during stress. That training informs how she notices stress reactions and teaches breathing and grounding techniques alongside talk work. She aims to help people build clearer boundaries, manage codependent patterns, and reduce the daily impact of anxiety or caregiving demands.

People who reach out can expect straightforward goals, concrete skills to practice, and ongoing discussion about what is helping. To begin, clients complete a short intake questionnaire and schedule an initial session to set priorities.
