Person-Centered Therapists in Jefferson, Cleveland, OH

I aim to bring curiosity, warmth, and compassion to every session. In my approach I look at the "big picture" of a client's life, understanding how current challenges stem from past experiences, relationship patterns, and a person's beliefs about themselves, others, and the world. We'll explore each of these factors, then create a holistic plan that encompasses the mental, emotional, spiritual, and relational. I hope that my clients will feel more empowered, self-loving, and connected after working with me, having a better understanding of themselves and the world around them.

My name is Stephen Brown, and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor based in Northeast Ohio and seeing clients throughout the state via telehealth. I work with adolescents and adults specializing in stress, depression, anxiety, and trauma. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help my clients find positive solutions to start feeling better. I have found that my approach is effective for teens and adults struggling with the challenges and stressors of life, which take the forms of depression, anxiety, stress, and trauma.

Humans experience emotion. We experience conflict. We experience pain and trauma. Though normal and common, all of these can disrupt or make it extremely difficult for an individual to meet their goals, have healthy relationships with ourself and others, or even make it through the day. These challenges can be isolating and can make anyone start to feel hopeless and hesitant to reach out for help. I encourage you to reach out anyway. Healing takes time, work, and honesty and it is worth it.

For the past 23 years, I have worked with a variety of individuals and families including children and adults in various life transitions. Part of my foundation in working with these populations is creating a safe and trusting relationship to ensure healing and growth by utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Areas of focus include, but are not limited to, attachment, complex developmental trauma, executive functioning disorders, and mood disorders. I am trained as a Trust Based Relational Intervention (TBRI) Practitioner.
