Connie Branch – LADC/MH

"I create a space to meet you where you are at, where you feel heard, where you are welcomed and accepted with respect."
About Me & My Approach

I am a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor and Mental Health Clinician with over a decade of experience supporting individuals and families at The Virtue Center, where I have served as Clinical Director since 2023. I work with clients of all ages, helping them navigate challenges related to addiction, mental health, and personal growth through compassionate, evidence-based care.

My warm, client-centered approach is grounded in evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), for which I am currently pursuing certification. I am also an ADSAC Assessor and am committed to helping clients build practical coping skills, strengthen emotional resilience, and move toward lasting recovery and wellness.

My passion for counseling is deeply rooted in both my personal experiences and professional journey. Having overcome significant adversity in my own life, I understand the importance of creating a safe, supportive environment where individuals feel seen, heard, and empowered. My approach is guided by the belief that healing happens through connection, hope, and compassionate support.

Before entering the clinical field, I served 10 years in the United States Air Force, bringing a strong foundation of discipline, leadership, and resilience to my work as a clinician and director.

Outside of my professional role, I enjoy spending time with my grandchildren and relaxing with a good Stephen King novel or a classic horror movie.
