“Dr. Brewer was extremely kind, patient, and invested in my health. She was extremely flexible if I ever had to change any meeting times. She was able to keep great track of my mental needs as well as any physical components to beginning new therapy. I’m very lucky to have gotten to work with her. ”

Her therapeutic approach is informed by tenets of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Mindfulness practices aimed at helping clients improve their skills in coping, insight, and emotional self-regulation.

We have been seeing Chrissie Brewer for over a year, both in person and online, as the situation with the pandemic has dictated. She is great and we have seen a great improvement in my child through medication and therapy. She is responsive to inquiries and her schedule works well for my school-aged child and working parents.

Chrissie was referred to us by parents from our sons school and we weren't disappointed!
She spent two and a half hours with us during the evaluation for our son.
Chrissie is extremely through, asked specific questions and very detailed about her understanding to our concerns and was able to address our fears with the necessary treatment to help our son.
Since, our son has been able to focus in school, maintain self control, and has been more delightful that even his peers see the remarkable change within him without a change to his personality.
Thank you Chrissie!!!
