Kavi Branham has been part of the Grand Peaks Behavioral Health and Wellness team since August 2020 and has been working in Behavioral Health since 2009. His journey has included youth mentoring, case management, wraparound counseling, and, beginning in 2015, providing counseling services and treatment.

Kavi holds a degree in Advanced Clinical Counseling from Northwest Nazarene University and is passionate about empowering others toward healing and growth. He is a certified Positive Discipline Parenting facilitator and has taught suicide prevention courses such as Youth Mental Health First Aid and programs from the Jason Foundation.

Specializing in trauma therapy, Kavi is trained in EMDR through an EMDRIA-approved program—an evidence-based method proven to help people find lasting relief from trauma, often in a shorter time than traditional talk therapy. He also offers EMDR protocols for recent events (RTEP) and group trauma (GTEP). Kavi also utilizes Internal Family Systems (IFS - or Parts Therapy).

Kavi works with children, teens, adults, and couples, helping them navigate challenges such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, mood disorders, grief, sexual abuse recovery, ADHD, pornography addiction, parenting struggles, relationship conflict, and communication barriers. His therapeutic approach blends EMDR with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and mindfulness strategies to create individualized care. Kavi is also a Grief Recovery Specialist, trained in the Grief Recovery Method, and provides one-on-one Grief Counseling as well as Grief Support and Processing Groups.

Originally from the serene lakes and forests of northern Wisconsin, Kavi moved to Idaho for college in 2004 and fell in love with the community and landscape—never looking back. Today, he and his wife are raising their four children in the beauty and calm of southeast Idaho. Outside of the office, Kavi enjoys exercising (running and strength training), camping, golfing, baking, and making meaningful memories with his family.
