Welcome to the Practice of Dr. Brunner
Innovative & Tailored Approaches for Lasting Solutions
In a world of rushed, “drive-by” assessment, I take the time necessary to identify how all the puzzle pieces relating to your problems fit together. I go to a unique degree of depth, allowing our work to not only resolve your current problems, but to prepare you to handle future issues. I provide high quality assessment, consultation, and treatment to children (ages 6 & up) and adults.
If you live outside of the Tucson area, outside of Arizona, or outside the US, you can be served in the comfort of your home. Out-of-town clients preferring face-to-face work often come for a series of days we can block off.

Meet Dr. Brunner
My Commitment to You: For over 20 years, my commitment remains helping you – or your child – by using only the most effective assessment tools, as I specialize in providing user-friendly “x-ray” assessments.
Get to know me better: Read one of my over 250 “Good to Great” blogs. My blog 10 Character Flaws that Derail Even Good People has been read by over 160,000 people. See the unique training I have earned.
What Makes Us Different
How I bring you the best service: We are a low volume, high quality practice offering innovative and long-term cost-effective assessment and counseling approaches. My unique level of expertise is exemplified by my ongoing research (see my list of publications) and my roles as an expert witness regarding courtroom questions.
How we expand you: You are likely looking for more – or something other than – a generic diagnosis. I specialize in giving you a functional grasp of yourself, so you have a more custom tailored roadmap, versus narrow focus on diagnosis. See my blog discussing a common misdiagnosis to understand my approach.
Compassion and Technical Expertise: I deliver compassionate, evidence based care. My personal involvement in behavioral science and personality assessment research helps me solve problems through awareness of critical aspects of your personality, whether you are a child or adult.
Avoid the Fluff and Superficial: Psychology and counseling are full of “fluffy” personality tests, generic evaluations, and what I call “drive-by” assessments.
Find a Team Player: You deserve someone who will take advantage of the best information from surrounding people or professionals. Too many healthcare professionals operate in silos, but I focus on weaving together multi-disciplinary insights.
