I’m a LCSW with a Master’s degree in Social Work from San Diego State University. I specialize in helping individuals navigate PTSD and trauma-related challenges, and I strive to create a safe, understanding space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to heal and grow. I’ve had the privilege of working in a variety of settings, including outpatient mental health and crisis centers. I have experience working with both military and non-military members to address trauma head-on.
I'm Sherman Brown, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) serving adults across Florida through telehealth. I specialize in depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, trauma, substance use, and men's mental health. As a clinical mental health therapist, I understand the particular weight that comes with seeking help and the cognitive distortions that may keep one from getting help --Catastrophizing: Seeing only the worst possible outcomes of a situation. My clients often come to me having tried everything else, or feeling like therapy 'isn't for them.' I aim to change that experience from the first session.
I specialize in mood disorders (including depression and bipolar disorder), anxiety (generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and social anxiety), and trauma-related conditions including PTSD. I am deeply committed to breaking the stigma surrounding mental health — and I understand firsthand how shame and silence can stand in the way of healing and daily functioning. Outside of work, I'm a parent who enjoys going to the pool and playing board games with my children, which keeps me grounded in the everyday joys that matter most.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Melbourne, FL
Searching for therapists in Melbourne starts with knowing what kind of care fits your needs. Therapists may support concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, stress, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties match what you want to focus on. Bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or couples therapy.
Melbourne is a smaller coastal city, so local in-person availability may vary by neighborhood and schedule. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in Florida. When narrowing your search, consider appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is available. Reading profiles before you book can help you understand a therapist’s communication style, experience, and what sessions may look like.
Therapy in Melbourne can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first visit. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, verify your insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
