Getting to know Stephen Brown

Accepting new clients. I work with teens, young adults, adults, and couples seeking relief from anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and trauma My approach blends CBT, trauma-focused methods, and psychodynamic insight to foster both practical change and deep emotional healing I offer a warm, collaborative space where you can feel understood, explore patterns that hold you back, and build new ways of thinking, relating, and living with greater confidence and connection. Career: Everyone has exceptional natural aptitudes. If you are struggling with your job or career, I will help you discover your aptitudes and transferable skills, and guide you to jobs where they are valued. Couples Counseling: I am trained as a Level II Gottman Method counselor. This psychoeducational method teaches couples to recognize behaviors that predict divorce, and to learn new ways to relate to each other so that you become lifelong friends and each other's companions.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I have had several clients who have had other therapists tell me that although the therapist(s) were good listeners, the client didn't feel like they made progress on their goals that brought them into psychotherapy. My approach, grounded in Motivational Interviewing (along with other evidence-based practices), is to be empathetic and directive. You will make progress.
