Getting to know Merissa Brown
Do you want support and encouragement to make needed life changes? Do you want help gaining a better understanding of what you're going through? Do you need help getting out of your head? Have you been feeling low or down, not wanting to be around people? Are you having issues in your relationships—with a partner, friend, parent, or others? Is getting older causing stress for you or those around you? If this sounds like you, you are not alone.
As a licensed therapist with over 15 years of counseling and psychotherapy experience, I have helped clients make changes, improve their moods, gain clarity, and see results within 6-8 sessions. The sooner you start, the sooner you will see progress!
I hold a Master’s in Social Work from Morgan State University, and my foundation is in psychology and social work. I combine my education, work, and life experiences to provide you with a holistic therapeutic experience.
My style is caring, direct, and supportive, with a sprinkle of laughter, accountability, and homework. During our time together, we work as a team to explore your concerns, make a plan, and find solutions. I continue to learn, research techniques, and experience life to add variety and tailor treatment to your unique needs.
Don’t wait—book your session today and experience the difference for yourself.

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.
