My faith is central to who I am and how I work — but you don't have to share my beliefs to work with me. I simply want you to know where I'm coming from.

Barbara Brown

Barbara Brown

Therapist

Virtual • Washington


I believe healing begins when we feel safe enough to be heard, understood, and curious about our experiences. My own path to becoming a therapist began after a career in the corporate world, when I returned to school to pursue my long-held goal of helping others navigate life’s challenges.

I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of Washington and am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in Washington State. I have also trained in Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy since 1996 and am a certified ketamine-assisted psychotherapy provider.

In my work with adults, I help people address trauma and PTSD, anxiety, depression, grief, and the effects of difficult life experiences. I have a particular interest in supporting women who have spent years caring for others or adapting to expectations and are ready to reconnect with their own needs, strengths, and inner wisdom.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that each person’s journey is unique. Depending on your needs and goals, our work may include conversation, mindfulness, hypnotherapy, or other approaches that support greater understanding, self-compassion, and meaningful change.
