Marcia Brown
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW

My specialty is Parent-
Child
Interaction Therapy (PCIT).
Parenting is anything but easy. There are so many ways to do it well, and yet we all still have our challenges to face. My work focuses on addressing even the most difficult
child
behavior and supporting you as the parent in the process. When your
child
has challenging behavior, it is not uncommon to get to a point where you have tried so many different approaches, techniques, and books, that you aren't even sure what is working and what isn't. Let's take away the kitchen sink approach, and boil it down to the fundamental pieces. You can gain tools that lead to real, lasting positive change for your
child
and your family.

I am a National Board Certified Counselor and a Provisionally Licensed Professional Counselor with a passion for guiding others in unlocking their full potential. I approach the therapeutic relationship with genuine intrigue and compassion, as I believe empathy and curiosity are two of the most important human values and essential for an effective therapeutic experience. Through balancing creativity with evidenced-based practices, our collaboration will create sustainable and meaningful progress in becoming the person you wish to be.

child

If advice from friends and family is not working, it might be time to seek input from a professional. Our team and I have the desire and expertise to help! We create a warm, non-judgmental space where we can identify what is creating stress for you or your family.

children

Children
, adolescents, young adults & parents are my primary focus. I meet
children
where they are, using play therapy and brain science to teach them emotion recognition and regulation.

therapist I utilize play therapy, expressive art, and sandtray therapy modalities, providing

I have experience working with families,
children
, adolescents, couples, and individuals.
For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to help others. Active listening, being empathetic, and showing compassion for others during tough times has always come naturally to me. I strive to bring these natural strengths, as well as the tools I have learned throughout my time as a student, to give the best possible care to each of my clients/families/couples. I believe that a client should be able to leave each therapy session with a greater understanding and self-awareness of how they can navigate through their lives.
