Jim Brown

I'm a trauma-informed Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina, as well as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oregon. I received my Masters from the University of North Carolina and have been practicing for 27 years. I assist clients with depression, anxiety, trauma, emotional regulation difficulties, grief and loss, addiction, relationship challenges, insomnia, and major life transitions. I also have extensive experience supporting individuals living with ADHD, Panic Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, and Schizophrenia. I have experience working in multiple settings including telehealth, outpatient, and inpatient.

I utilize several modalities in my counseling approach including Person-Centered Therapy, Dilaectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Illness Maintenance and Recovery (IMR.)

Your first therapy session is an opportunity for you and I to get to know each other and decide whether working together feels like a good fit.

During this initial visit, I'll likely:

• Ask questions to understand what brought you to therapy, what you’ve been experiencing, and what kind of support you’re looking for
• Explain how I work, what therapy with me will look like, and what you can expect in future appointments
• Give you a chance to ask any questions you have

This is a safe, judgment-free space to start the conversation at your own pace and get a feel for me as your provider.
