Today is your first session! This is the beginning of growing the seed that is YOU into the lovely tree you wish to be. In this session, we explore why people go to psychotherapy, how many of us need it, and what it is to walk in the dangerous neighborhood of the mind when we are stressed, depressed, anxious and traumatized. We discuss the need for wise elders, when instead we are exposed to a surplus of “experts” and influencers who tend to point us in a million different (not always psychologically sound) directions.

Join your session to explore your internally held ideals and how to identify them as the possible minefields to your mental health they may be. Discover the space that exists between our current selves and our ideal self and (spoiler alert!) that we live in that space for our whole lives. We address the “life in chapters” theory and the shame that holds us back from recognizing all our chapters as important parts of the mosaic that is us as humans.

You will be encouraged to embrace the weird, wild, and wonderful you, and identify the influences that may prevent that from happening. Go face forward into the fear that prevents growth and incorporate the value of curiosity in self-development. You will learn about the self-talk synthesis that happened to you, and how your inner voice may not be entirely yours. Break your down-going patterns and start some new ones that take you up where you belong in your precious one life. It’s time, and Dr. Brown is here to help.

Dr. Brown holds a BA in Secondary Education/English, an MS in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and MPhil in Social & Behavioral Science and a PhD in Human Services with a Specialty in Public Health. She is a licensed Professional Counselor in the State of NJ.
