Dr. Nick Brown

Hello and thank you for visiting my profile! My name is Nick Brown, and I am a clinical psychologist with many years of experience. I received my Ph.D. from the University of Missouri- St. Louis with an emphasis in trauma training. I also completed fellowship training at the Long Beach VA with emphases in evidence-based outpatient psychotherapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I specialize in treating adult professionals with anxiety, depression, trauma, relational issues and impulsivity.

I believe we all experience an inner voice that is at times worried and critical. I don't view my patients as "broken" and in need of fixing. Instead, I view my work as helping people navigate the complexities of a human life. I employ a mix of evidence-based therapies (CBT, ACT, DBT, etc.) with warmth and honest interpersonal feedback. I can assist you with learning to sit with your feelings, developing a healthier outlook and behavioral routine, and overcoming avoidant forms of coping.

I aim to establish an environment that is understanding, affirming, and honest. Beyond orienting you to my therapeutic style and terms, my first couple of sessions entail an assessment wherein I determine your diagnoses and goals for treatment. We will also discuss background information, such as upbringing and cultural factors, so that I understand how your lived experience informs your outlook today. After the assessment, we will collaboratively establish a treatment plan.
