Getting to know Rachel Brown

Hello there! My name is Rachel Brown, LCSW. I have been providing mental health services for 10 years. I hold a Master's in Social Work from Indiana University Northwest. I provide individual, couples, group, and family therapy. I have a background in addiction, trauma, and anger, and I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness, and Coping skills, just to name a few. My goal is to help my clients flourish with everyday life tasks and struggles. I'm part of Resolute, a practice offering high-quality, insurance-covered therapy and psychiatry, with comprehensive support to ensure a smooth and stress-free experience for our clients. For additional help, reach out to the Resolute support team. I look forward to meeting you!

What should a new client know about working with you?

I welcome all clients with a non judgmental view, and allow all client’s to come and be their natural selves. My approach to therapy is always meeting the person where they are and drawing from their own strengths. I assist my clients with a variety of clinical techniques to ensure their progress and growth is personal as there is not a “one size fits all” for therapy. Building rapport is key for me when assisting my client’s as they should feel safe and included.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

My goal for the client is to always assist them with creating realistic goals of their own, while breaking each goal down into smaller tasks so they do not become overwhelmed. I like to celebrate progress and achievements with my client’s, as well as inspire and challenge them along the way as a means to continue to motivate them to accomplish goals they have set.

    She just didn't show up. Which, she told the person I spoke to from the company at the moment of the session. Not cool

    I just had my first session with Rachel and it was great. She understood what issues I wanted to work on, asked questions to get more information and context, and helped discuss solutions and things that we can work on. Definitely will be continuing to see her regularly.

    Ms. Brown is an excellent therapist! She is always professional, and is able to connect well. She has been able to assist me during some of my roughest times and never fails to make me feel comfortable. The whole staff is awesome as well! I'm truly grateful for their services and highly recommended!
    My experience with this company has been most welcoming. The staff has welcomed me and made me feel comfortable. Ms. Brown is an awesome therapist, and I have been happy to let her work with my family. I highly recommend this company based on the quality of services, and welcoming staff.
    Ms. Brown was the perfect therapist for my problems. Ms. Brown let's me talk about my emotions, acknowledges it without judgement and then work on the best possible way on how I can have a more positive outlook in my life.
    Ms. Brown has to be the absolute best therapist out there! She really listens to all of your issues in a way that you don't end a session feeling blown off but that you're being heard and there's a genuine concern/care she exudes that I really appreciate. You leave feeling as though the heaviest weight has been lifted off your shoulders. I appreciate everything you do and have done, thank you so much! I highly recommend! Great staffing all around.
    It was very professional and productive!
