Gillian Brown, LCSW — Therapist in New York

Hi there, I'm Gillian!

I provide a safe, compassionate, and supportive therapeutic environment as you explore your challenges, values, and strengths.

My focus

I work with clients facing serious mental illness, adjustment disorders, mood disorders including depression and bipolar, anxiety disorders, and trauma-related conditions including PTSD.

My approach

I work with Internal Family Systems, a trauma-informed practice rooted in attachment, and integrate Jungian principles emphasizing individuation—becoming your most authentic self. I incorporate dream work and expressive therapies to help you explore your strengths and navigate challenges.

My communication style

I create a safe, compassionate space where you direct the focus while I provide guidance and information. Sessions empower you to engage in self-care and explore solutions to both immediate and long-term challenges.

My journey to mental healthcare

My path to becoming a therapist evolved over decades, shaped by my own experience as a client and ongoing learning from clients and studies. I'm honored to meet you on your journey.

My goals for you

We begin by exploring your long-term life role goals, then break them into manageable, reachable steps. Together, we create a path forward that honors where you want to go.

Our first session

Our first session is an open-hearted, compassionate discussion responsive to the challenges and strengths you bring.
