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.

Couples frequently engage in disagreements, which can sometimes be challenging to acknowledge. According to marriage and family therapists, these disagreements may occur every few months or even on a monthly basis. Nevertheless, if your arguments consistently lead to fights, lingering resentment, or the adoption of unhealthy coping strategies, seeking support could be a valuable step.

Arguments often exhibit identifiable patterns, encompassing their origins and resulting effects. Exploring behavioral therapy or acquiring skills in interpersonal communication can prove beneficial in dissecting these patterns and fortifying your relationships.
