Getting to know Marilyn Brown

Hi there, I'm Marilyn! Starting your therapy journey is a huge step so first off, congratulations! Whether you have years of therapy and other healing work under your belt or if this is your first time working with someone like me, I'm here to make sure this experience is as meaningful and transformative as you envision it to be. I am an authentic, engaging, soulful healer who uses my identity as a Black-disabled woman to provide culturally, LGBTQIA, disability, and gender-affirming care to folks experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma around experiencing systemic oppression, and many other concerns you bring into the space that get results! My approach I artfully blend my over 2o years of professional mental health experience, including DBT, ACT, and other evidence-based somatic modalities like Brainspotting, with energy and ancestral healing modalities like mindfulness, yoga, and other energetic healing modalities. By working collaboratively with each client, we will create a plan that fits your unique identity and goals to craft a plan that allows you to go deep and get results! My focus Have you been feeling disconnected and seeking deeper meaning in your life? Maybe you're experiencing anxiety and fear that limits your ability to experience the fullness of your life. Maybe your confidence is at an all-time low even though on the surface things are going well. If so, I'm here to help you find your way back to YOU by providing a safe, supportive, and intentional container to learn helpful culturally informed skills and tools to cope, to process and integrate past and generational trauma, to envision your best life, and to set achievable goals to start living that life fully now! My communication style My communication style is direct, sometimes humorous, and always honest and empathic. I'm able to give difficult feedback in a way that feels safe and is rooted in respect and care.
