Dr. Brown has been working with me for a year now, and my life has transformed completely in a year. She is patient and gives me the space to express myself in the ways I need; she uses humor to help redirect my thought processes and anxieties. I have learned how to communicate in a way that is direct and clear, and how to set and enforce boundaries. I am so thankful for Dr. Brown and the support she has provided me.

She is the best!!!! So good that sometimes I wish could have her services all to myself. Lol but genuinely I feel seen and understood after each therapy session and I leave with practical steps to address the issue that we last discussed. She speaks to theology and physiology which as the daughter of the King is super important for me. I’m sure there’s nobody like her.
