Heather Brown, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Heather!

I specialize in relationships, family dynamics, trauma, anxiety, depression, and ADHD management. My work focuses on helping individuals and families navigate conflict and build healthier patterns together.

My focus

I work with individuals facing unresolved trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, parenting concerns, and ADHD. I specialize in crisis intervention, mediation, and conflict resolution to help you move forward.

My approach

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to explore how thoughts, actions, and feelings connect; Solution Focused Brief Therapy to draw on your past problem-solving strengths; and Feedback Informed Care to center your goals and perspective in guiding treatment.

My communication style

I facilitate free-flow conversation where we share stories and explore patterns together. You can talk about any topic, and we'll problem-solve in ways that create the change you desire in your life.

My journey to mental healthcare

I'm a social worker at heart, always problem-solving and seeking to resolve crises. After serving as a firefighter for many years, I redirected my focus to social work and mental health, continuing to serve my community in a new way.

My goals for you

You choose the areas of life where you want to make changes and lead the conversation. I provide support and advocacy as you work toward your goals.

Our first session

I'll introduce myself and learn what's going on with you so I can figure out how to help. We'll complete an initial assessment covering key highlights of your life, explore your objectives for therapy, and discuss ways we can approach your goals together.
