I have a variety of experience providing individual, family, and couples therapy to a range of clients from young children to adults. Having worked in environments including the school system, outpatient facilities and private practice, I have a solid understanding of how to collaborate with clients to identify their needs and provide appropriate support or connect to the right community resources. Throughout my career, I have gained experience with navigating conflict resolution, addressing general DSM-5 diagnosis’, and helping clients increase emotional regulation and distress tolerance.
I listen and we learn to judge the behaviors in relation to your goals and ideal self. I approach our initial sessions with structure to allow for clarifying your goals. Once we have a sense of direction, we suspend judgement, and learn to explore your wants, fears, and desires in life. I bring in a calm and humorous approach to allow for different perspectives to emerge with the intent to find out our strengths and deficits to continue learning and discover yourself
Escucho y aprendemos a juzgar los comportamientos en relación con sus metas. Abordo nuestras sesiones iniciales con estructura para que puedas aclarar tus objetivos.

Aporto un enfoque tranquilo y con humor para dejar que surjan diferentes perspectivas con la intención de descubrir nuestras fortalezas y déficits para aprende y descubrír más sobre ti mismo
I am passionate about helping people feel seen, heard, and supported as they navigate life's challenges and discover their inner strengths. My approach is to create an authentic and individual relationship with my clients so they can explore their thoughts, feelings, and hopes without judgment.

I am a board-certified adult psychiatrist and have been practicing psychiatry since 2017. I work with adults from diverse backgrounds, including professionals, students, parents, women, men, and LGBTQ+ clients, who may be navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, trauma/PTSD, insomnia, OCD, perinatal mental health, stress, or major life transitions. My approach is warm, collaborative, evidence-based, culturally sensitive, and trauma-informed. I offer psychiatric evaluations, medication management, psychotherapy, telehealth, and second opinions, with a focus on helping you feel heard, understood, and supported as we work toward meaningful change.
Hi, I’m Andrea Brown, a Licensed Professional Counselor with 4 years of experience helping individuals navigate anxiety, depression, and life’s challenges. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stuck in your thoughts, or struggling to balance everyone else’s needs with your own, you’re not alone. Therapy can give you the space to slow down, understand what you’re experiencing, and figure out what you need to feel better.
My goal is to create a supportive, judgment-free space where you feel comfortable being yourself. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, women’s issues, and cultural or identity-related challenges. Together, we’ll explore what’s been weighing on you, build practical coping skills, and help you feel more confident in handling life’s ups and downs. You don’t have to have everything figured out to get started — we’ll take it one step at a time.
