“He knows what he is doing. I had to go to 4 EMDR Therapists who didn't know what they were doing, before I found Chief. He talked with me and assessed my situation and then did EMDR with me and eliminated my PTSD and other effects. I highly recommend him to everyone I know and any time I hear of anyone who has trauma. I refused to live with PTSD and Chief helped me get rid of it. He is the real deal!”

Getting to know Kashif Brown
Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, or grief connected to a painful or traumatic experience? I specialize in trauma-focused care, supporting adults whose emotional challenges stem from overwhelming life events-whether from violence, loss, betrayal, or other forms of trauma.
With a Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of the Cumberlands, I bring a calm, compassionate approach to therapy. Using Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), I help clients process and heal the deep wounds left by trauma, whether it appears as PTSD, persistent fear, complicated grief, or emotional numbness.
Licensed in Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico, and Washington, I provide telehealth services tailored specifically for trauma survivors. If your depression, anxiety, or grief stems from a history of trauma, you are not alone, and healing is possible.
Together, we can work to reduce symptoms, restore emotional safety, and rebuild resilience for the life you deserve.
What should a new client know about working with you?
When you work with me, you’ll find a calm, supportive environment where your story is honored without judgment.
Healing from trauma, anxiety, or depression is not a linear process, and I meet you exactly where you are.
I work at your pace, offering guidance, tools, and encouragement without ever pushing you beyond what feels safe.
We focus on building a foundation of trust first, and from there, we work together to process painful memories, reduce overwhelming emotions, and reconnect you to your strength.
Whether your experiences are recent or long-buried, you deserve to be seen, heard, and supported fully, and that’s the space I am committed to creating.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Our work together starts by building a foundation of trust and emotional safety. In our first sessions, we focus on understanding your experiences, exploring your current symptoms, and identifying your personal goals for healing.
I use a collaborative, trauma-informed approach to help you feel grounded before we move into deeper work. When appropriate, we may incorporate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help process stuck memories, reduce emotional overwhelm, and build resilience.
Throughout the process, I adjust our work to match your pace, honoring what feels manageable and empowering you to take each next step when ready. My goal is to create a space where real healing can happen: where you feel supported, seen, and genuinely hopeful about the path forward.

My visit was preliminary. We just started. Don't have enough time to make a sound judgement.

Great first session

You’ll need at least 2 visits to see if he’s right for you. The first visit, he lets you talk and he listens well. He only stopped me a couple times, once for clarification and the other because it was almost the end and he wanted to be able to say his words (which is why you’re there, right?).
Will be continuing to talk with him and get to know him better. I’ve only tried this once before so it’s a new experience for me still. I keep waiting for that “click” you get when you meet a new friend, but that’s not why I’m here.

First session today and really thrilled with this referral. The therapist was thorough and extremely clear in providing explanations of how the process worked. On multiple occasions, he ensured I was comfortable with the process and any questions.
