Getting to know Samantha Brown
Hi there, I'm Samantha!
Although versed in mood and personality disorders, and basic daily stressors, I specialize in adults with trauma, veterans and active duty military. I do not believe therapy is a lifelong thing, so I am very result driven.
My focus
I best support veterans, active-duty military, first responders and adults with significant trauma. As an EMDR-trained therapist, I provide compassionate, trauma-informed care to help you process difficult experiences, reduce distress, build resilience, and move toward healing in a safe, supportive, and collaborative environment.
My approach
I take an aggressive approach to therapy. You have been dealing with mental/emotional issues for a while now. It is my goal to get you back to feeling like yourself in the shortest time possible. To do that, we will build rapport quickly and jump right into the hard stuff and take back the power from your issues and emotions.
My communication style
I am direct, honest, and compassionate and believe meaningful growth comes from both support and accountability, so I'll encourage you to take an active role in your healing while gently challenging unhelpful patterns and perspectives.
My journey to mental healthcare
We all have a journey and a history and I am no exception. Mine has led me to helping those with significant trauma, years of suffering and struggling. I have dedicated my career to first responder, police, and military professional mental wellness.
My goals for you
We set meaningful, achievable goals by identifying their priorities, strengths, and areas for growth. We create a treatment plan focused on healing, building coping skills, and improving overall well-being, providing support, encouragement, and accountability while working toward lasting change.
Our first session
In our first session, I will establish clear and concise communication and set the stage for what our therapy journey will look like.
