Wendy Alleen Brown
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Verified
"I am a firm believer in finding balance between feelings, thoughts, beliefs, and actions. Sometimes what we are dealing with is simply present day stress, needing a safe environment to process and get feedback. Other times events from our past dictate our reactions to today's experiences. This leads to giving our power away and continuing to suffer. I practice cognitive behavioral therapy, as well as other approaches when indicated, always focusing on the client's goals. I am focused on respectful approaches to teaching tools that allow each client's efforts to result in positive impacts throughout their lives."

As a licensed professional counselor, I believe every individual has the power to make lasting changes in their life. With a whole-person approach, my clinical work focuses on individual strengths as I work with each client to set personal goals, focusing on what is most relevant to them. I am a compassionate and supportive listener with a reality-based approach. As a registered art therapist, I bring creativity and out-of-the-box thinking to my sessions. And as a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP), I work with clients to help them use the teachings of neuroscience to manage their anxiety and stress.

Contrary to what many people believe, not all adversity is bad. Through an intentional and concentrated effort, our challenges can be turned into strengths. Trauma occurs when adversity in life outweighs our available resources. That's why it's vital for us to counter the most difficult things in life by increasing our resources. I enjoy being able to come along side and support people who refuse to give up in spite of adversity and setbacks.

Are you in need of a safe and comfortable space to rest and recharge? My passion is to empower young adults (+16) and adult individuals to find balance in seasons of anxiety, stress, and transition. Using client-centered, strengths-based, cognitive behavioral strategies, clients gain confidence in managing unhelpful thoughts, patterns, and behaviors. I especially enjoy working with college students, teachers, parents, and professionals on redefining boundaries, organizing and prioritizing, decluttering, and decreasing the weight and intensity of carrying life stressors.

I know what it feels like to be stuck - to feel numb, like you are out of options and your life is not as meaningful or beautiful as you thought it would be. Maybe you find yourself no longer caring as much about details in your life or you can’t remember the last time you found joy in doing something fun. Maybe the memories of the past are inhibiting your ability to show up for the present. It’s in those times that we need to reach out for help, so that we can see the possibilities available to us. I’d like to help you start that journey of healing, awareness, understanding, and hope.

Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, MS, LCPC

I understand that asking for emotional help is one of the more difficult things you might ever do. I tell my clients that if they were in physical discomfort or pain they would call their doctor for relief, and to call a professional counselor is also a way to insure their health and well-being. I assure my clients that with my guidance, and their hard work, whether they are dealing with a life crisis, life transition, relationship issue, ongoing issue, etc, that they do not have to remain stuck, that they can change..

Life can bring about overwhelming emotional experiences that make us feel out of touch with our ourselves. Healing is possible. Neuroscience has shown us that our brains have the ability to make new connections and heal throughout our entire lives. We can restore our balance and find ourselves again.

Psychologist, PhD, NCSP

Like many of the families we work with, you may be feeling stuck. Perhaps you've read books, skimmed websites, and talked to friends and family in an effort to address your child's emotional or behavioral issues...yet he/she still seems to be struggling. Turning to someone else for help can feel like a big step. After all, as your child's parent, who knows him/her better than you? We agree. Thrive Child Psychology works in partnership with youth and families to get to the root of challenges, establish goals, and use research-based tools to achieve them.
Jeanette L. Roberts, LCSW
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Verified
As a social worker, I value diversity and differentness. If you are more interested in becoming the person you are truly meant to be, rather than the person others may expect you to become, you will probably feel very comfortable working with me. My work with clients is psychodynamic in nature, which relies on the quality of the therapeutic relationship where you can begin to experience yourself in a different way. Therefore, I encourage you to ask me questions, let me know your feelings about our work, and let me know what I can do to make your experience effective.
