How do you work with clients with anxiety?
In working with clients who experience anxiety, I focus on creating a supportive, personalized approach to help them manage and reduce symptoms. I begin by understanding each client’s specific triggers and experiences with anxiety. Using evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), I guide clients in identifying anxious thought patterns, building coping skills, and grounding themselves in the present. Additionally, I may incorporate medication management when beneficial, as well as culturally sensitive practices, spirituality, or motivational interviewing if they align with the client’s values and preferences. My goal is to empower clients to regain a sense of control and calmness, helping them build resilience and navigate anxiety in their daily lives.
Accepting new patient in WA, OR, and NM. Do you feel that things just cannot continue this way? Is it becoming harder and harder to get up every day? Some say life is a journey rather than a destination, and for many, the road gets muddy, the sky darkens, and it’s easy to get lost, making it seem impossible to get where you’re trying to go. Are you ready to make a change? Shifting perspective can be a game changer. When I work in partnership with clients, my goal as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner is to assist them on this difficult but rewarding journey. I offer a personalized approach to the diagnosis and treatment of depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, psychotic disturbances, and other disorders. Providing comprehensive care may involve psychotherapy, the use of medications, integrating spirituality or belief systems, and complementary therapies. By managing your mood and correcting unhelpful patterns, we can set you on a brighter and greener pathway together.

How do you work with clients with anxiety?
For clients with anxiety, I use a holistic approach that combines Integrative Psychiatry, Mindfulness-Based Practices, and Nutritional Psychiatry to address both the physical and mental aspects of anxiety. By incorporating tools such as meditation, stress hormone testing, and lifestyle modifications, I help clients build resilience and manage their symptoms effectively. Medication may be used judiciously when appropriate.
Hi. I’m an Osteopathic Physician and Integrative Psychiatrist with over a decade of experience helping professionals, first responders, athletes and other goal-driven individuals achieve momentum, clarity and balance in the face of depression, anxiety and ADHD. By tapping into the mind-body-brain nexus, I help you forge a stronger and more resilient tool to face your challenges. I offer a blend of Integrative Psychiatry, Osteopathic approaches (OMM= hands-on therapy), and Mindfulness-based approaches to help you reach the next level. Visit my website at https://www.kiwihealth.com/provider/TX/North-Richland-Hills/Brian-Mendenhall for more details (and to schedule an appointment if you are direct pay/ non-insurance/ cash). If you have Aetna or Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas, use the links below for Headway to schedule the initial consult call. I believe: You are more than a label or list of symptoms—you’re a person with goals and ambitions. The mind, body, and spirit are inseparable. Medication has its place, but the automatic “problem = pill” approach so prevalent in psychiatry often misses the mark. Human capacity for change is extraordinary. When we harness that, the possibilities are endless. My journey in Medicine began with a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree from A.T. Still University, and I further honed my skills through specialized training in adult psychiatry at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I have additional training in Integrative Psychiatry and Nutritional Psychiatry, in addition to a broad range of extensive experience treating adults in various clinical settings. Outside of work, I enjoy Muay Thai, hiking and hanging out with my pet boxer, and learning about history and Stoic philosophy. I've been practicing Zen style meditation for approximately two decades. I'm here to help you unlock your potential and reach the next level. Contact me for a free fifteen minute consultation call.

My practice combines Integrative Psychiatry, Mindfulness, and Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (OMM) to help clients harness their innate strengths and achieve durable change. I view each individual as an inseparable unit of mind, body, and spirit, and I tailor treatment to foster balance, clarity, focus and adaptability. Rather than a “one-size-fits-all” or “problem = pill” model, I provide tools and frameworks that guide a sustainable process of change, in addition to using a common-sense approach to medication management.
