Hello, my name is Christa Brown and I have the privilege of being in a field helping others. I will paraphrase an old Irish proverb to give an example of how I see the counseling relationship. "A tree alone in a storm may not have the best chance to survive or thrive, although, a tree that is amongst the forest in the storm has the best chance of survival and thriving." My hope is that in the counseling relationship my client's learn to draw from their own strength and the support of others to survive and thrive when they encounter storms in their lives.

My approach to therapy involves focusing on the family unit, meeting each individual family member where they’re at while treating them as an important part of the therapeutic process. I do this by treating each family member equally and with compassion. I often get calls from parents asking me to help their child and my response is always the same… “Let's work together to help your kiddo.” Studies show that when parents are involved, kids recover from trauma significantly faster.

Therapy can be a daunting task. It is my goal to help you address the issues you are seeking help for and give you real life techniques to use in your therapeutic process. I tend toward cognitive behavioral and solution focused therapies but recognize that everyone is unique and may require different approaches. I have significant experience working with emotionally/behaviorally disturbed children, abused children/adolescents and adult survivors of trauma. I tend to view therapy as a process. I believe it is important to meet people where they are so they can fully embrace the changes they seek to make.

I have conducted individual and family therapy in areas such as major life adjustments, depression, anxiety, and children/teen issues.
