As a counselor, it is my passion to assist those through the struggles along life's journey. We are all living through difficult times which can make us feel isolated, alone, anxious depressed or just extra. In addition, these stressors can also increase how we experience and perceive the stressors of everyday life as well as how we communicate and interact in relationships with those we love the most. If you want to gain some control over your emotions so that you are living the life you deserve, then therapy could be the answer for you and I would be honored to be on this journey with you.

As a counselor and a nurse, I have spent my whole career helping people struggling through life's difficult journeys. Are you struggling with the lingering effects of abuse, neglect, trauma, divorce, loss or unwanted change? Though we can't change the circumstances, we can work together to improve how you express yourself, make decisions, resolve conflicts, manage stress and eliminate thoughts and behaviors that keep you from living your best life.

Do you feel overwhelmed or stuck or just want to change the patterns you've fallen into? Grief, anxiety, depression, and trauma can drain energy and prevent you from being the person you want to be. Seeking the help of a therapist can be the first step to becoming your best self. If you are looking for a change, I know I can help you work toward the goals you have for yourself and maybe find some new goals along the way!

“Hello, are you feeling stressed, anxious or overwhelmed? Dealing with out of control emotions or behaviors? Reaching out for help can be difficult, you do not have to go it alone. My passion is helping people with the stresses, pain, hardships, past or present that life may throw at them in order to restore you to a place of healing. In session you will find that I am compassionate and dedicated to my clients, working with those seeking solutions to life struggles. Your own thoughts, beliefs, and values are important to me as well as your involvement in counseling. It is time for you to retake control of your life!”

People come to my office seeking help with feelings of depression, fear, anxiety, grief and loss, relationship conflicts, self esteem issues, health issues, pain management, stress, overwhelming life change, and/or a history of trauma or abuse.

It is my desire to join with you in seeking release of past struggles and looking to the future. With families, couples, and individuals I can offer resources to assist in the desires for healing and wholeness while reaching the full potential in your life. If that journey deals with grief/loss, addictions, trauma, divorce, family challenges, or individual challenges, I would consider meeting you where you are on that journey a privilege.

Hello, my name is Christa Brown and I have the privilege of being in a field helping others. I will paraphrase an old Irish proverb to give an example of how I see the counseling relationship. "A tree alone in a storm may not have the best chance to survive or thrive, although, a tree that is amongst the forest in the storm has the best chance of survival and thriving." My hope is that in the counseling relationship my client's learn to draw from their own strength and the support of others to survive and thrive when they encounter storms in their lives.

The ideal clients have made an honest self-assessment of their lives, acknowledged an awareness of issues or concerns that are robbing them of their joy, and are committed to developing and integrating new strategies for meeting life's challenges with renewed hope and optimism.

Life is hard sometimes. It rarely meets our expectations and sometimes feels like everything is just plain falling apart. Sometimes just getting your head above water feels like the fight of your life. Whether it is a marriage on the brink of destruction, crippling emotions, or just feeling stuck, I want to help you experience freedom and hope. We will start by working to identify what is in the way of the life you desire. Gaining insight to your own life is powerful and is often the first step to freedom. As we continue journeying through these insights, we will begin working on steps to change the patterns you want to change.

I enjoy working with clients wherever they may find themselves on life's journey and offer a safe and accepting therapeutic relationship to explore their concerns. My passion is to assist clients on their journey toward wellness, healing and growth. My therapeutic approach is client focused, collaborative, and holistic.

We are made for connection with others and have the desire to feel seen and heard. You may be going through a life change and are struggling with fear, grief, shame, or worry. You may be exhausted living in a constant high-stress mode. You may be feeling overwhelmed with your circumstances or simply just not feel like yourself. You want to feel that hope and change is possible. It is. The human spirit is truly remarkable. We can't stop life from bringing us expected or unexpected life situations but we can learn new strategies to approach and respond to these moments through discovering more about ourselves and learning new skills.

"I'm just going through the motions". "I feel hopeless". "What's the purpose"? These thoughts and feelings are all too common. Relationships suffer, self-doubt creeps in and you begin to worry about things that were never an issue years ago. The idea that life should somehow be different than it is now affects most people at some point. How do we deal with the stress this causes us and the people we love? Reaching out to someone for help can be difficult for anyone. Women tend to be more open to the idea of help and men are typically much more reluctant but we all want to know that the person we reach out to actually understands us.

My work is centered in imagining liberation and healing free from anti-Black racism, colonialism, state violence, cissexism, ableism, capitalism, xenophobia and any form of systemic oppression. I am committed to the healing and liberation of Black folx, particularly those in the margins. Queer, disabled, immigrant, women, young, Black folx have a right to be well and access quality mental health care. As a queer Black woman, who has benefitted from community, healing, and affirmation, it is meaningful and spiritually fulfilling to offer support to folx with similar identities.
