Debbedo Brown

Hello, my, my name is Debbedo Brown, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of New York. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, & motivation, self-esteem spiritual dynamics, grief, loss, and confidence. I believe that a person is the expert of his or her story and that he or she has many strengths that will assist them in overcoming things that challenge them. My approach is empathetic, nonjudgmental, and collaborative.

In working with clients my counseling approach in cooperates the modalities of strengths-based perspective, Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT). Additionally, I am a trained clergy for the past 16 years, of which I able to provide spiritual counseling for clients who would like intervention in this area.

Typically, in my first session with clients we would focus on rapport building, this provides insights on my clients’ journey and what they hope to achieve from our sessions. I know meeting a therapist for the first time can be anxiety provoking, hence I strive to create therapeutic space where clients can feel comfortable. My clients typically tell me how much better they feel after one session as they come to realize that my approach is empathetic, nonjudgmental, and collaborative.
