I strive to help my clients heal, rebuild their lives, and increase resiliency. I guide my clients to not only pay attention to what is showing up cognitively and emotionally but also within their body. Utilizing the wisdom of the body can help to release thoughts and emotions that leave people feeling stuck.

I believe that therapy is a dynamic experience that can be extremely helpful for lots of people. The process of changing ones life for the better is often a difficult one that requires support and understanding. In my therapy practice I strive to be that supportive guide that many individuals need to get to the next level of existence. I believe that overcoming is not an event, it is a process. Whether one is overcoming depression, relationship issues, or traumatic life experiences, support and thoughtful guidance is often key in recovery.

I'm passionate about supporting different generations of Asian immigrants, multicultural individuals, and other marginalized populations to deal with life challenges including trauma, complex trauma, intergenerational conflicts, self-esteem issues, life transitions, acculturation, depression, anxiety, emotional regulation, stress, grief, and other issues. I work mostly with different generations of immigrants, multicultural individuals, and other marginalized communities.

Many of us walk around thinking that we should be happier, that we're missing an inner sense of vitality. Therapy can be a place to better understand the story of your life and think about how it might be different. My role is to help you clarify your inner sources of conflict in the hopes of living a better, more fulfilling life. I have worked with a wide variety of clients across my careers, and I have found that we are all more human than not. I practice from a trauma-informed lens and believe that true healing is always possible.

Do you ever wonder why you keep experiencing the same kind of problem over and over again? Do you keep feeling defeated even before you begin? Ever wonder sometimes what's it all for and why you're still living? Many people ask themselves these questions everyday, but do nothing about it. You are not alone! There is help. You've come to the right place! People sometimes develop unhealthy ways of living due to their past experiences of being abused, hurt or traumatized. I specialize in helping those people suffering from the pain of life's disappointments, hurts or tragedies.

If you're reading this you may be at a place in life where you are feeling disconnected from yourself and/or those around you. Maybe feeling a little lost or having a hard time prioritizing your needs? Allow me to invite you to journey back home to yourself. My name is Michelle Brown and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker whose core value is mental and emotional wellness. The work I've done over the last 5+ years, inside and outside the therapy space, is rooted in personal and intergenerational healing.

I strive to develop a collaborative environment with each client so they can feel safe and comfortable discussing what brought them to therapy, identify their goals, and take steps to building a meaningful and rich life. I am interactive in the therapy process and support clients with practical tools and strategies to challenge old patterns, while incorporating new skills that aim to improve the client's ability to live more intentionally and authentically. I employ elements of ACT, DBT, and CBT to respond to the unique needs of the individual.

Are you looking for a solution to anxiety? depression? workplace stress? low self-esteem? traumatic memories? a conflictual relationship? urges or compulsions that seem beyond control? a phobia, procrastination, or some other behavior that interferes with having the life you want? If so, I am sorry- I don't have one. What?! Surprised I would say that? I am just being honest. Besides, if I did have one, it would only be temporary, because what works today may not work tomorrow. You don't need a solution, but a strategy for surviving- and thriving- amidst ever-changing life experiences.

Life can be a maze of decisions, but sometimes our emotions leave us overwhelmed and paralyzed, unable to take steps towards the life we want. Feeling tired or stressed? Operating like you are on auto-pilot? Anxious? Poor Confidence? Low-Self Esteem? Relationship/dating struggles? Work Issues? Going through a divorce? Emotional Trauma? I work with clients to challenge their inner critic, gain control over their lives, and get emotionally healthy. Your self-care is important! I offer in person & online therapy. Ask me about Clinical Hypnotherapy, Emotional Freedom Techniques, Yoga, & Meditation sessions!

Imani Wellness is here for individuals who are tired of resisting their natural urge for creative expression. There’s so many ways we show up for ourselves and our communities, and leading that care with creative processes [that feel soothing or invigorating] can begin to form the shift that so many of us are longing for when it comes to sustainable ways of existing. Imani Wellness is dedicated to sustainability in a lot of ways, but one of the main ways is through my dedicated model of prioritizing quality over quantity and over producing–I see fewer clients than many therapists to maintain a high quality therapy experience.

My clients tell me that I really listen to them, am a down-to-earth person, and am able to help them through very difficult times of their lives. I am an energetic and positive person, yet can calmly help clients find creative solutions to tough problems and areas where they feel stuck somewhere in their lives.

I offer goal-oriented, collaborative psychotherapy to individuals who are experiencing distress or unhappiness with parts of their lives. Throughout therapy sessions that are interactive, I will share my thoughts and feelings about the challenges that you face along with strategies for creating change. I help my clients to discover and begin to follow a positive path that they can begin to explore in therapy, and that they can then continue to follow as they pursue their goals and their lives independently. I have experience helping adolescents and adults to develop and live more fulfilling, satisfying lives.

Sometimes your life feels too big, too hard, too scary, or too lonely to handle. You may find yourself constantly worrying about something or someone, including yourself. You might be unable to feel the joy you used to have. Perhaps the root of your difficult feelings is big changes in your life, whether expected or unexpected. Or maybe your struggle is a signal to take better care of yourself. Whatever the reason, you are now wanting to grow, discover new aspects of yourself, and to find your strength. As the founder of Reclaiming Minds Therapy and Wellness, I have created a space for you to feel safe in your healing journey.
