Getting to know La Vera Brown
Thank you for taking a huge step in your healing journey! There is no greater gift we can offer ourselves than the gift of health, and it is my pleasure to meet you. I am a licensed clinical mental health counselor, supervisor, educator, author, and trauma recovery specialist with over 30 years of experience in the mental health field. Throughout the years, my mission has remained the same: to provide healing, hope, and support to individuals experiencing challenges related to childhood adversity, life transitions, broken relationships, or self-esteem. With compassion and clarity, I help adults break free from cycles of pain and step confidently into lives with purpose, peace, and restored identity.
My approach
I support your healing and growth by using evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). With CBT, we'll work together to identify and reframe unhelpful thought patterns, helping you gain practical tools to manage emotions, reduce distress, and take purposeful action. Solution-focused therapy allows me to emphasize your strengths and build on what's already working, focusing on achievable goals and positive change. Trauma-focused ACT helps you process painful experiences with compassion while learning to accept difficult emotions, clarify your values, and commit to actions that move your life forward. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and forward-moving. It is designed to empower you with insight, confidence, and resilience.
My focus
Are you overwhelmed by anxious thoughts, self-doubt, or uncertainty about the future? I specialize in working with adults, particularly young adults, who are navigating life transitions, anxiety, trauma recovery, and challenges related to self-esteem.
