A Leader in Women’s Mental Health – The Woman Behind the Movement
A Leader in Women’s Mental Health – The Woman Behind the Movement
For Patrice Brantley, mental health has never been just a profession—it’s been a calling. From childhood, she had an innate ability to comfort, listen, and support others, whether it was classmates, coworkers, family, or strangers in need.
She has always believed that women deserve to be heard, understood, and empowered. But like so many women, Patrice learned the hard way that the mental health system wasn’t built for them.

From Burnout to Breakthrough – The Birth of a Movement
From Burnout to Breakthrough – The Birth of a Movement
Patrice Brantley didn’t just experience the broken mental health system—she challenged it, overcame it, and rebuilt
something better. After nearly two decades as a respected educator, Patrice reached a breaking point. She had poured
herself into her students, schools, and community—while silently carrying the emotional weight that so many women do.
Overwhelmed, exhausted, and looking for support, she turned to her workplace for help. Instead of empathy, she got
mocked. Her principal, a fellow woman, tossed her an EAP card and called her “weak.” That moment didn’t just hurt—it lit
a fire. “I realized in that moment that women are still being told—especially by other women—that needing help is weakness.
That ends with me.” Determined to find real answers, Patrice sought therapy—but even the professionals didn’t understand.
One male therapist cried during her session, stunned by the trauma she’d experienced. Another told her she was “too sensitive.” Counselor after counselor missed the deeper issue:
Women weren’t being heard, understood, or healed—they were being labeled, dismissed, and medicated. That frustration
turned into purpose.In May 2015, Patrice walked out of the classroom and into her calling. She didn’t leave because she was broken. She left because the system was—and she had the tools, training, and tenacity to change it.

What She Stands For
What She Stands For
“I believe women deserve more than a diagnosis and a prescription. They deserve to be understood.”
Patrice is building a movement that calls out the biggest lies women are told about their mental health:
“I believe women deserve more than a diagnosis and a prescription. They deserve to be understood.”
Patrice is building a movement that calls out the biggest lies women are told about their mental health:
That it’s just hormones.
That feeling overwhelmed is normal for women.
That being “strong” means never asking for help.

Lie #1: “It’s just your hormones.”
Too many women are dismissed, misdiagnosed, or overmedicated because doctors assume their mental health struggles stem from hormonal changes. While hormones play a role, they are not the root cause of everything. Women’s emotional experiences are real and deserve to be taken seriously.
Lie #2: “You’re just too sensitive.”
For centuries, women have been told they are overreacting—that their pain, stress, and emotions aren’t valid. Patrice stands against this toxic narrative. Women’s emotions aren’t something to suppress—they are something to understand.
Lie #3: “Just take a pill.”
The mental health industry pushes quick fixes instead of lasting solutions. While medication can be helpful, it’s not a cure-all. Patrice believes in getting to the root cause of anxiety, depression, and burnout—not just masking the symptoms.
Lie #4: “Strong women don’t need help.”
Society tells women they must be everything to everyone—without evershowing weakness. This toxic belief traps women in cycles of burnout and exhaustion. Patrice teaches that true strength comes from knowing when to ask for support.
