Elevate Branson announces enhanced mental health services

Affordable mental health care can be challenging to find in the Branson/Lakes region.

Elevate Branson now offers the services of therapist Brenda Watson-Hill who has successfully completed two years of provisional status to become a fully licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Missouri. LPCs are independent mental health professionals authorized to diagnose and treat behavioral health conditions. The designation requires a master’s degree, more than 3,000 supervised hours of counseling, passing the National Certified Counselor (NCE) and Jurisprudence exams for therapists, and continuing professional education.

Watson-Hill is also a fully trained Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EDMR) Therapist. EDMR is an evidence-based treatment helping people reprocess traumatic memories and reduce symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), anxiety and other traumatic experiences, using guided bilateral stimulation, like eye movements.

Brenda Watson-Hill, who goes by “Bre,” has been offering her specialized expertise at Elevate Branson since 2023. She completed her Master of Arts in Counseling from Central Baptist Theological Seminary and is also a Certified Reciprocal Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CRADC).

Elevate Branson’s mental health services include individual and group therapy sessions on a sliding scale, based on a client’s annual income. Individuals putting a priority on their mental health and wanting to heal from various challenges, including substance abuse disorders, PTSD and symptoms stemming from adverse childhood experiences, are encouraged to request an appointment by contacting Watson-Hill via email
