Getting to know Joan Brown

Hi there, I'm Joan! Hello, my name is Joan Brown, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master's in Social Work from the State University of New York. I have years of experience working with individuals and groups affected by the disease of addiction. I have also provided supportive therapy for depression and anxiety. My approach I use motivational therapy, supportive techniques, and cognitive behavioral skills. My focus I am open to all populations, but my main focus has been adults. Recently, I have begun connecting with adolescents via messenger, developing rapport and providing education on coping strategies. My communication style I offer empathetic support and validation techniques. I am very professional with clients, encouraging trust and the expression of emotions. I set clear boundaries by seldom discussing my core beliefs and background. My journey to mental healthcare My passion is helping and supporting individuals who suffer from mental illness. I feel this is my calling-most people appreciate my efforts and techniques. I am grateful to have helped someone during their crisis, and I feel very happy when that happens. My goals for you I ask why you are in therapy and what you hope to accomplish during our meetings. My first session with you Typically, we review your symptoms, personal and family history of mental illness, current coping strategies, and what works for you. We also discuss why you are seeking therapy now.
