You're holding it together on the outside — career, family, everything looks fine from a distance. But inside, you're exhausted, disconnected, and running on empty. Maybe something happened that left a mark you can't quite name. Maybe it's the slow weight of years of stress, loss, or a relationship that chipped away at who you used to be. Either way, you've been pushing through it alone for a long time. You don't need a dramatic story to deserve support. You just need to be ready to stop white-knuckling through life.
I'm Chris Brown, LMFT in Newport Beach. I work with adults, teens, and families around trauma, PTSD, relationships, and life transitions. I'm EMDR-trained and attachment-focused — we work at the level of your patterns, not just your thoughts. I also offer professional substance use evaluations for legal and custody matters. My style is warm and direct.
You've probably been managing things on your own for a long time. It's okay to get help now. I often work with individuals on trauma, then bring in the couple or family to repair and deepen healing. Reach out for a free 15-minute consultation. You don't need the right words — just take the first step.

I predominately use EMDR with my clients to address their trauma and PTSD. However, I use a little bit of everything in the therapy room. I draw from modalities that are proven to decrease symptom severity such as CBT and DBT. Regardless of why you are seeking therapy, the approach taken will be focused on you, your safety, and your recovery.
