Kaitlyn Brown, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Kaitlyn!

I work with adults who question their sense of self and value system, wanting to better understand how they think and feel. If you're seeking more control over your thoughts and behavioral patterns, I'm here to help you explore and grow.

My focus

I work with adults questioning their sense of self and value system, wanting to understand their thoughts and feelings. My approach helps with processing trauma, managing depression, anger, and anxiety, addressing self-judgment and guilt, and identifying ruminative and false thoughts.

My approach

I rely on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. With CBT, we identify false and harmful thoughts, then challenge and reframe them to align with your values. With DBT, we build skills in Distress Tolerance, Mindfulness, Interpersonal Effectiveness, and Emotional Regulation to help you accept and manage intense emotions.

My communication style

The therapeutic relationship is unique and requires trust, safety, and positivity to work as designed. I strive to create a safe, healthy, trusting, and comfortable space through honesty, authenticity, and mutual respect.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've always thrived on hearing people's stories and understanding their value systems. I learned that therapy is almost entirely about the relationship in the room, and I knew I could do this work well by honoring that connection and hearing each person's narrative.

My goals for you

Goal setting is essential to productive therapy. We discuss the primary concerns that brought you in, then specify the improvements we can aim towards and how to measure progress. This helps guide our work and gauge the effectiveness of our interventions.

Our first session

During the first session, we discuss what brings you to therapy and develop goals around improving those concerns. After identifying your goals, we explore where the work needs to be done and begin developing the skills necessary to improve these areas.
