I am a licensed clinical social worker providing individual, couples, family, and group therapy to adult clients. I work to address challenges such as depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship conflicts, and addiction/recovery. I strive to create a safe environment where clients feel comfortable and can address key issues to bring about healthy transformations.

I specialize in working with at-risk youth who have experienced childhood adversity and/or trauma. Young people who are having difficulty navigating developmental tasks including setting boundaries, establishing healthy peer relationships, and setting future goals. I utilize EMDR and Ego State Therapy to support clients in healing from past experiences, improving self-esteem and launching into adulthood.

*Not Accepting New Patients* In the treatment of eating disorders, mood disorders, and other common co-occurring issues, I primarily seek to explore and help patients gain insight into the forces driving behaviors that frequently keep them stuck and deprive them of participating in life more fully. Specific strategies to help patients confront and renegotiate their current struggles are also a focus of sessions in addition to relationships, both past and present, as it is believed that one's relationship with food, their view of themselves, and their view of the future is significantly impacted by relationships in their life.

When my husband and I were having marital issues, we tried three therapists, none of whom helped us very much. In fact, over all, they made things worse. It occurred to me that I might be able to do this better. I wanted a therapist who wouldn’t take sides--someone who would work to understand my point of view as well as my husband’s point of view--someone who would be empathetic and compassionate. I wanted someone who would care about both of us, and, give us hope. These are among the reasons that I became a therapist.

In light of recent events, I am now providing Telehealth (similar to FaceTime and Skype) through most insurance companies. I have over 20 years of experience working with children, adolescents and adults struggling with a variety of life concerns. I understand that finding a therapist that is right for you or your child can be a challenging task. I believe it is important to connect with a therapist from the beginning in order to achieve success. I provide a safe, non-judgmental and comfortable therapeutic environment. I am easily approachable and will work hard with you and your family to reach your full potential.

***Now offering telehealth due to current events to help you in these difficult times**** Hello! My name is Alysia Brown and I am a Marriage and Family Therapist. I have spent the majority of my career working with individuals and families to stabilize their children within the home. I have a great deal of experience working with children, adolescents, and young adults with severe psychiatric needs and extensive trauma. I have worked in a variety of settings such as outpatient, residential, and home based work.

How do you choose the therapist that's right for you? First off, trust your instincts. It is vitally important for you to trust and feel comfortable with your therapist. Having someone non-biased and non-judgemental to help you find new ways of thinking, feeling and doing can be just what it takes to really make change. The therapeutic relationship is like any other relationship in life, there are people you click with and people you don't. Trust yourself and find someone you can trust and you'll be well on your way to finding the help you need!

Life often has a way of making you feel overwhelmed and exhausted. It can seem impossible to balance day to day stresses. Sometimes even small roadblocks seem to create feelings of worry or failure. Your own thoughts may make matters feel worse. You may be struggling to achieve goals that always seem just out of your reach or feel like you don’t know where to start.

I am a Licensed Psychotherapist providing therapy in a private practice setting. I have been in practice for over 10 years providing both inpatient and outpatient psychotherapy to individuals, couples and families. In previous positions, I was a Coordinator and Supervisor in the U.S. as well as internationally, which allowed me to work with a variety of clients utilizing several different approaches depending on the specific needs of the clients. I also used that knowledge in helping to train and supervise Master's Level Clinicians in working with their clients as well.

I believe we have the ability within us to meet the joys and challenges of life with energy, curiosity and a sense of centeredness. When pressures become too great, though, it can be difficult to find that inner state of calm empowerment. Stressful situations, pain and illness and old habitual behaviors can make it difficult to enjoy life.

Forming a family can be difficult business and new parents need a lot of support, validation, and education. You may be feeling hopeless, sad, angry, and anxious in a time in which you are "supposed" to be anything but. You may be feeling disconnected from your partner or like a stranger in your own skin. Postpartum mood disorders can look different among people - you might not be sure if you have one, but you know that this is not you. You are not alone! I am licensed marriage and family therapist specializing in perinatal mental health in both individuals and couples.

I strive to create a safe and empathetic space for individuals to voice their fears, hurt and concerns. This safe space fosters awareness and encourages healing.

I want to be part of your healing story. I believe that two people working together are stronger than one. I believe that most of our suffering comes from the pain around separation and disconnection and that healing and empowerment is best experienced and guided within a relational framework. I believe that the traditional or Western medical model for healing is outdated and limited and so I embrace a holistic or integrative approach to mental health. I believe that healing takes place beyond intellectual processing and that we need to integrate healing into somatic or body based processes and rewriting personal narrative.

My belief is that everyone has the knowledge of how to solve their problems somewhere inside of them. People come to therapy with a wide variety of issues. Some are as simple as "I would like to have better communication with my spouse, partner, children, or friends. Other issues are more far reaching such as "I feel sad all the time." Or "I can't seem to stop drinking

Getting to know my clients and their challenges makes my work as a Marriage and Family Therapist both rewarding and stimulating. Understanding what a person has been through and seeing their vision of their future is my goal. Collaborating with clients on their treatment plan and supporting their goals is an important part of my practice. I want clients to know they are welcomed and have found a safe space to express whatever is on their mind or in their heart.

We all came here to do something amazing. You included! But sometimes along the road we get a little stuck or start to question where we are on our path and in our purpose. Our energy gets slow or stagnant or we feel we are ready for a change, but we don't know what that change is. This is our intuition's way of telling us we need to shake it up. And shaking it up is not always easy or motivating, but that doesn't mean it isn't exactly what we need.
