Brant Bird, MS, MA, LPC

Hello, My name is Brant Bird. I am a proud husband, father, brother, and son. I was raised in East Africa, where my parents were missionaries for almost 10 years. I graduated from Hardin-Simmons University in 1999 with a degree in education. I was a teacher for 23 years before I became a high school counselor in 2022. I currently work at Poteet High School and live in Pleasanton. My dad died unexpectedly in December of 2022. In February of 2023 I was at a conference for school counselors and heard a young women speak about grief and how to recover. I noted that she was certified with the Grief Recovery Method which led me to the GRM website. I signed up for the training and was trained in May of 2023. I thought I had done a really good job of dealing with my dad's death. The GRM gave me so much more insight into the feelings I was having and how to better deal with them. I knew then that I wanted to help others through their grief and the GRM was a wonderful way to do that. I am excited to work with adults who are looking to confront their grief.
