Getting to know Melissa Brown
Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Connecticut, and I received my Master’s in Social Work from Boston College. I have been in practice since 2011 and have worked with individuals from birth to age 26 in community, school, and office-based settings. A couple of highlights in these roles include the privilege of working with parents and caregivers, as well as supporting young adults in the LGBTQ community. In my private practice, I seek to help adults of all ages navigate life’s challenges by bringing light to all that’s been pushed aside, left behind, and holding them back.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
