I bring a direct, compassionate, results-driven approach to my work with clients. I believe inner strength, knowledge, and self-acceptance are key components to therapeutic growth and development. I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I utilize a solution-focused approach to encourage insight and creativity. Humor and authenticity are powerful tools that add value to the therapeutic journey and I incorporate both into the therapeutic process.

People come into therapy because they want something to change in their lives--how they feel, how they relate to others, how they handle stress. I enjoy working with people who want to commit themselves to working in therapy; who have the courage to face the important issues; who want to work collaboratively with me to find the solutions to feeling better. I consider myself a guide and coach in this process as we get to know each other. It gives me great joy to watch my clients grow and change and start to enjoy life again.

With 40+ years working as a psychologist, I work with a variety of clients struggling with mental health and life issues. Many clients seek my help for anxiety, depression, serious and persistent mental illness and life transitions. My patients include children as young as 7, adolescents, adults and seniors in their 80's. Clients are often referred to me for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, relationship issues and sports-related performance concerns. I also have experience working with individuals and families where there are life-threatening health issues, infertility and pregnancy loss for both mothers and fathers.

I believe lasting change takes place over time in the context of a safe and secure therapeutic relationship. As a therapist, I strive to provide a non-judgmental and supportive space where you can begin exploring frustrating relationship patterns, and become more aware of your feelings and deep assumptions that may be continually preventing you from reaching your goals in life. I believe everyone has inner potential for growth. In therapy, we can work together toward helping you find courage and your natural capacity for growth so that you can live a happier and more empowered life.

As a Cognitive Processing Therapist (trained by Kathleen M. Chard), I am committed to helping survivors of trauma heal. I specialize in working with individuals struggling with acute and complex PTSD, depression, and anxiety. Through evidence based training and continued consultation with leaders in the field of trauma informed psychotherapy. I use scientifically grounded approached to help individuals resolve past traumas and decrease difficult symptoms associated with these memories.

***NOT CURRENTLY ACCEPTING CLIENTS***My goal is to help people improve their relationships with themselves and others. I approach therapy from a gentle, yet direct, place to help clients find hope in the midst of suffering. My practice is informed by a belief that all humans are worthy of compassion and acceptance, and I invite my clients to show up exactly as who they are. I love working with clients from all backgrounds, and work from a lens of social justice. I am committed to being anti-racist, body positive, sex positive, and affirming of the LGBTQIA+ population.

Have you had repeated difficulties in relationships that leave you feeling as if you are forever stuck? Do you find yourself wanting to make changes but being unable to make these changes happen? Are you feeling confused or uncertain about yourself or the future and need someone to talk to? These are all excellent reasons to seek therapy. I work specifically with people who struggle in relationships, have histories of trauma or have issues with self-worth, anxiety or depression.

I believe that genuine presence, authentic connection, and a welcoming sense of curiosity, inspires each client to recover and overcome. I hold genuine and positive regard for my clients which enables me to encourage and support them as they come to understand the origins of their challenges and how to meet and transform them. I counsel individuals (ages 16 and up), couples, and families. My practice focuses on transitions, trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, loss, spirituality and meaning and highly sensitive persons. My commitment is to discover the strengths and gifts of each client so they may discover their true self.

You don't have to have it all figured out or even know where to begin. You just have to be curious about your story, your patterns, and what feeling better could look like. We'll find it together. My clients are ready to take a step toward the unknown in pursuit of wellness. They're ready to stop fighting their minds and bodies and instead develop a connection to themselves so they can live a life of well-being and contentment.

Mind Revolution Therapy (MRT) is meant to be a space for people to heal through vulnerability and connection in the context of a revolution of the mind. Here’s the revolution - You’re not bad or wrong or unworthy, you’re human. At MRT, we believe that each individual is the expert on their own lives and therefor has the ability to heal themselves through finding and understanding their true selves.

*Not Currently Accepting New Clients * I specialize in relationships! I have been a therapist for over fifteen years and continue to learn everyday. I believe therapy is more than simply listening. I will actively listen, reflect, and challenge you, your partnership, or your family to grow. I have a lot of experience helping parents who are concerned about their adult children who are struggling with mental illness and/or addiction. I am also trained in ART which helps people heal from traumatic experiences using bilateral eye movements. I am a systemic thinker and approach my work through a social justice lens.

As a Licensed Psychologist, my professional approach encourages a person's strengths, inherent resilience, and individual differences that contribute to personal development and meaningfulness. My previous experiences include providing psychotherapy services to a diverse range of individuals, couples, families, and groups in a variety of settings, from college counseling and career assessment centers to community mental health and specialty clinics. I earned both a Master's and Doctorate in Counseling Psychology from the University of Minnesota, and I completed my Pre-doctoral Internship at the University of Michigan and Post-doctoral Fellowship at an eating disorder treatment center.

As a therapist I see how powerful the mind-body connection can be, not only in how we live our lives, but also how we respond to challenges and interact with others. We are not always able to choose the obstacles in life but I do believe we can work towards responding to them in ways that help us feel empowered and confident. By listening to and understanding our thoughts, feelings and physical sensations we are more effectively able to navigate life and choose paths that better suit our values.

Suzanne Brown has had the opportunity to work with a wide range of people in a variety of settings for the past 20 years. She considers working with people an honor and believes that we are all teachers and learners regardless of our positions. It has been moment by moment interactions with her clients that have taught her the most in her work. Life can be hard at times and no one should have to navigate the challenges alone. Whether it's depression, anxiety, pain from trauma, relationship stress or something else, Suzanne considers it a privilege to be part of the journey toward healing, freedom and wholeness.

I have been practicing as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a Licensed Psychologist for over 25 years. I understand that therapy can seem mysterious and intimidating. I also know that life is filled with challenges and that relationships are very demanding and difficult to navigate. Psychotherapy can be one way of addressing whatever unique distress you may be experiencing. Together we will work to clear away the limitations of thinking and experience that are holding you back from your own wholeness- your own sense of being fully alive and engaged in your life.

***Seeing clients in-office starting in August*** Now is the time to establish a therapeutic relationship to help navigate these challenging times. The world can feel chaotic; our lives need not mirror this tumult. Feelings of irritation, sadness, fear, and emptiness are normal in times of change and uncertainty. When these feelings become overpowering or they are negatively impacting your life: change is critical. While behavioral coping skills in conjunction with CBT techniques are foundational aspects of therapy, I believe exploring your ideal personal philosophy is critical to (re) establish life balance.

Because I believe we grow and learn throughout our life, I delight in working with all people. I see therapy as a supportive environment created for the purpose of encouraging one another in times of need, as well as joy. I have specialized experience working with children and families, empowering each during tough transitions such as toddlerhood and adolescence, while collaborating during unexpected and challenging issues like ADHD, anxiety, depression, abuse, trauma and more. I utilize play, narrative, feminist, and mindfulness therapies to encourage hope and develop authentic connections with each person I see.

I look forward to working with clients that are highly motivated and ready for change. I have been able to treat individuals with challenging symptoms who may not have been properly diagnosed and subsequently, have not received appropriate treatment. The majority of my clients do not have a healthy way to cope with intrusive and sometimes disturbing thoughts. The therapy I provide empowers clients with the skills needed to feel in control of their anxiety, impulsiveness and unhealthy habits. My clients will learn how to manage unwanted thoughts and to abandon coping through rituals, escape and avoidance behaviors.

(CURRENTLY NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS) Do you spend too much time comparing yourself to others? Are you frustrated in trying to communicate with those you love? Does your career feel like a dead end? There is HOPE and a way forward. I see people change their lives on a daily basis. I will be with you on this journey, understanding you, helping you to identify patterns that are getting in your way and encouraging you on your path towards an internal revolution and becoming the best version of you.
