Alicia Brown, LMSW

Psychotherapist
13000 W 87th St Pkwy, Lenexa, KS
In my clinical work, I noticed a consistent pattern of people coming into therapy already apologizing for their pain. Before a session even begins, clients minimize their experiences, engage in negative self talk, and present as fine out of habit. My work starts there. I show up with genuine curiosity and empathy, because I believe the therapeutic relationship is the foundation everything else is built on. When a client speaks I am fully present; I listen to what is said, as well as what is being carried underneath it. My responses are affirming and normalizing because shame thrives in silence and I refuse to let it. I approach every client through a trauma-informed, holistic lens. I believe clients are the experts of their own lives and my role is collaborative. We decide the pace, the focus, and the interventions that make sense for their specific journey together. Evidence based practice guides my clinical thinking but it is always adapted to the person in front of me, rather than applied as a formula.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My training includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Unified Protocol and Motivational Interviewing. I have a particular connection to mindfulness based interventions. I have facilitated mindfulness groups and witnessed firsthand how accessible and transformative these practices can be when tailored to the individual. There is something powerful about watching a person exhale for the first time in a long time.
