Melissa Brown

My communication style

I practice primarily as an active listener who then supports by collaborating with you to come up with goals and discuss alternative approaches. I want to hear whatever's on your mind, even if it's unrelated to what we talked about last time. I am here to support you whether it's listening, talking it through, or offering suggestions.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have worked in a variety of settings, including hospital inpatient, emergency department, school counseling, and now individual therapy. With these different experiences, I've narrowed down parts of a job I value, and I really enjoy getting to know the clients I'm working with.

My goals for you

When we first meet, I'd like to hear your story. Then we can start working towards identifying your goals and the steps needed to get there. We'll work together to break it down into smaller parts. We'll evaluate at each session and can adapt and evolve as you find out what is working and what is not.

Our first session

In the first session, I would really like to hear about what brought you to therapy now, as well as any previous experience you've had with therapy. I'd also just like to get to know you. Who do you live with? What do you do for fun? If you work, what do you do?

I identify as...
