Our Care Team
Clinical Director and Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist
Brandi McNew, MA, LMFT
Thank you for taking time to learn more about Turnabout Counseling Center and our desire to provide compassionate care to individuals in our community. I feel strongly that we are not defined by our struggles. Life is hard and sometimes we need additional support. Counseling can be a valuable resource for many different situations and is available to anyone. The misconception that counseling is only for “certain people” is harmful to individuals, families, and communities. My goal is to make the counseling experience approachable, comfortable, and useful. I hope that our work together will be helpful in providing you with a sense of peace, freedom, and strength to move forward in life. This work can be challenging but I am committed to walking with you through this process. I also feel passionate about helping people have healthy relationships - in their families, their faith communities, their workplace, and beyond. We were not meant to live in solitude and strong loving relationships are essential to one’s overall health. It is my goal to help people understand relationship dynamics and assist them in shaping healthy relationships.
I have been a life-long member of Frazer Church and have volunteered in a number of ministry areas over the years. My husband and I have been married for 24 years and have two children (a 21 year old son and 19 year old daughter). We also have 4 fur-family members: Sugar, Jemma, Birdie, and Cassie (who is our on-site therapy dog). I enjoy hiking, visiting waterfalls, digging in the dirt (ie gardening), and ziplining when I get the chance.

Associate Licensed Counselor
Tyler Grant, MS, ALC
Welcome to Turnabout!
As a counselor, I am deeply committed to walking alongside individuals on their journey toward healing and growth. I am passionate about providing a safe, supportive space where clients can feel heard and understood. My goal is always to meet individuals where they are, helping them work through their unique struggles at their own pace.
I have spent the past ten years working with children and adolescents in full-time ministry, and I have a deep passion for this generation. I also have clinical experience working with individuals of all ages.
I believe that all people have intrinsic value and worth, and my approach to counseling integrates faith as a foundational element. Whether you are facing personal challenges, emotional struggles, or relationship difficulties, I am here to walk alongside you as we work together toward your goals. I also deeply value creating a compassionate and non-judgmental environment, where you can feel empowered to explore your emotions and take steps toward healing. I am committed to helping you find peace, strength, and resilience to move forward in life.
My wife, Elizabeth, and I moved to Montgomery in 2018 with our two children (7 and 3) and love this city! I am an active member of Frazer Church, and still work closely with the summer internship program. I enjoy spending time with my family, watching college football and basketball, golfing, and being outside. I’m excited to be a part of Turnabout Counseling Center as we strive to be a beacon of hope to the entire River Region.
