“CJ provided a safe space for myself and my partner to explore and work on several aspects of our relationship. His guidance and feedback was tremendously helpful in making decisions.
CJ is a great listener and worked with us to go deep into our patterns that are no longer serving us and to find common ground from where we could communicate.
I learned a lot about myself and about my relationship. ”

“I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Dr. Seitz-Brown. As a person exploring therapy for the first time, I found it easy to open up to him. His non-judgmental, yet instructive insights have helped me develop strategies to navigate several difficult situations. I recommend him for individuals looking to improve their relationships and interpersonal dynamics.

Getting to know Dr. Christopher Alade
PLEASE NOTE: Dr. Seitz-Brown’s practice, I’m Listening, LLC, does not accept insurance. If you have questions about session fees or payment options, CJ will call you within 24 hours of scheduling your appointment through Zocdoc. Clients receive billing documentation to seek reimbursement from insurance if eligible for out-of-network benefits (check with your insurance company). All visit lengths are listed as 60 minutes on Zocdoc to ensure appointments schedule correctly and start on the hour.
SCHEDULING: After scheduling on Zocdoc, please be ready for a free 10-15 minute phone consultation with CJ within 24 hours. During this call, you can share what brings you to therapy and your goals, and CJ will answer questions about treatment options. You can then decide if you want to start working together. If we cannot reach you within 24 hours, we will temporarily cancel your appointment until you connect and confirm.
Dr. CJ Seitz-Brown is a licensed clinical psychologist providing therapy for individuals and couples via video visits. He earned his PhD in Clinical Psychology from the University of Maryland and completed his internship at the Charleston Consortium, followed by a fellowship at the Veterans Affairs Puget Sound Health Care System. His specialties include relationship issues, depression, anxiety, addiction, and identity exploration/development. CJ draws on diverse clinical experience in VA hospitals, substance use treatment centers, and a university counseling clinic—where he trained future therapists—to tailor services to each client’s needs. Clients seeking balance between work, passions, and values often come to his practice for help advocating for their goals and exploring new directions. He also specializes in helping clients understand and express emotions and learn communication skills they weren’t taught growing up.

He helped me make a lot of progress in the first few appointments. Very insightful and direct…made me feel comfortable to open up in a way other therapists haven’t. I liked that the sessions were on Zoom
