Meet Dr. Brandon Bates

Brandon Bates, Psy.D. is a clinical psychologist licensed in Texas and Oklahoma. He and his wife and son recently moved to Graham from Enid, Oklahoma. Being a native of Graham, he is excited about being able to give back to the community that gave so much to him. Dr. Bates graduated from Tarleton State University in 1998 with his Bachelor’s degree and from Forest Institute of Professional Psychology in 2002 with a Doctorate of Psychology. His internship and residency training led him to Porterville, California, as well as South Texas. He then moved to Oklahoma where he was the Mental Health Authority at a medium security prison. He says that being an “Okie” for three years was long enough and he is excited to have Texas license plates again!

Outside of work and spending time with his family, Brandon is an avid outdoorsman, and will jokingly try and lobby for holding ”therapy sessions” in the deer stand. On a serious note, he is passionate about his work as well, as anyone who meets with him will see. Dr. Bates enjoys working with a variety of individuals through a cognitive-behavioral perspective to adapt more positive/rational thinking patterns, improve coping skills, and decrease symptomology. Dr. Bates provides individual, couple, and family therapy, along with complete psychological evaluations for assistance with differential diagnosis and treatment planning in order to answer specific referral questions.
