My primary modalities are CBT, Trauma-focused (such as child-work and EMDR practices), Narrative, Solution-focused, and Psychodynamic.
Focusing on the individualized needs of each person, I strive to provide a safe environment where clients feel validated and able to express themselves freely. I value building an empathic, genuine, and positive relationship with my clients. This unique dynamic can assist clients to feel more fulfilled and successful in their mental health journey. I use a collaborative approach and a variety of techniques to help us find direction for the therapeutic process. I love working with failure-to-thrive/launch as well as finding direction and building insight into reasons why we get "stuck".

Experiencing trauma or painful events at any age may cause us to feel overwhelmed, unsure, self-critical, anxious, and hopeless. These experiences can create difficulties in managing our feelings, thoughts, behaviors, and relationships. Many of us have tried for years to figure things out on our own and seeking counseling takes a great deal of courage. I respect and honor the strengths that my clients bring into the office. Together, we can work to move beyond learned responses and toward healing; where you can work to develop self-regulation skills, improve mood, decrease anxiety, build self-esteem, and heal from trauma.

In a world that encourages a chaotically tough exterior, I want to work with you to find your strength in peace and softness. It is my goal to provide a space where you feel empowered to create a life that is rich and meaningful–something we all deserve and rarely give ourselves permission to have.

I like to work collaboratively with my clients, so after our initial assessment, I will present you with some different options for how we can address the challenges that you are experiencing. I want you to feel comfortable and well-informed about the process, so I encourage lots of questions, and I want you to tell me if things aren't working. I find that reducing shame, increasing mindfulness, and making sure that we acknowledge progress are key to success in therapy. I have intensive training in ACT, DBT, and CPT. I have a lot of experience using CBT and narrative therapy as well.

Making the decision to seek professional help takes courage when feeling overwhelmed and sometimes hopeless that nothing will change. I believe therapy works and can help make that change easier and quicker than you might think.

My clients are families that may be facing a difficult transition or grief, a teen anxious, withdrawn, angry or out of control. Parents that are exhausted, feeling overwhelmed, and fearful of what is happening to their child.

You don't need more willpower. You need to reset your nervous system.
I'm Maryam Brown, a licensed therapist with over ten years of experience specializing in trauma, anxiety, depression, as well as peak performance for athletes and executives. My work is grounded in neuroscience, specifically in how the brain stores and processes experiences which means we go beyond talking about what's wrong and work directly to change it. Therapy here is collaborative. Your experience, your feedback, and your goals shape everything we do.

I get it: You are perceptive, intuitive, and feel the undercurrent in every room—I know you are tired of carrying it all on your own.
Maybe you have done therapy before, have the insight but not the relief, or have a late diagnosis, a life change, or a loss that reframes everything.
I provide therapy for neurodivergent adults who are done performing, done spinning their wheels, and done masking or making themselves smaller to survive.

Do you ever feel pulled between worlds—holding everything together on the outside while quietly struggling within? Maybe you’re trying to meet expectations while longing for space to listen to your own voice, or navigating the balance between family, culture, and the life you hope to create. You might notice waves of overwhelm, hypervigilance, exhaustion, rage, numbness, or shut down. Beneath all the doing and adapting, part of you might just want to pause, breathe, and feel at ease in who you are. I offer a space where we can gently explore what it means to live with more presence, connection and empowerment.

We all look for empathy, understanding, and connection in our lives and relationships. When moving through the world with a non-dominant identity, it can be difficult to find acceptance, confidence and a sense of belonging. As a biracial Chamoru woman, I have been navigating these struggles throughout my life. I hope to work with others who are looking to cultivate relationships with their core identities, while navigating the challenges related to systems of oppression. My clients often identify as people of color, LGBTQ+, disabled, and/or chronically ill, as well as part of nerd, geek or techie communities.

Hi I am Sarah, it is nice to meet you. I try to create a therapeutic space where the individuals I see can slow down, take time for non-judgmental reflection, process emotions and find the things that help them to live with authenticity and intention. I work to support and collaborate with adolescents and adults of all backgrounds to find growth, seek change and begin the healing process. I endeavor to make therapy a creative and safe space where we can explore how each person is able to find what works for them. In the first few sessions I like to get a sense of who you are, what you are seeking and to make goals for our work.

As a Person of Color, you’ve followed the rules, honored your culture, and shape-shifted to survive—but the pressure to get it all right is exhausting. You’ve kept it together for everyone else—but inside, you’re overwhelmed, second-guessing yourself, and craving peace. You’re always overthinking, carrying others’ emotions, and wondering who you actually are without the expectations of others. Family stuff is complicated, parenting feels heavy, and rest feels out of reach. You don’t have to hold it all. Let’s make space for you.

I work with adults and adolescents over 15 years old. The foundation of my practice is rooted in a trauma-informed, anti-oppressive and liberation frame work. While I work with clients from all walks of life, I have a focus on serving the BIPOC, Latinx and Hispanic communities. I specialize working with people who have experienced trauma and live with anxiety. I provide therapy in English, Spanish (or Spanglish!) and my priority is for clients to feel like they can be their most authentic selves. Further, I foster an environment that is culturally responsive, non-jugmental, and sometimes sprinkled with a little humor.
