Shaleatha Brown

Hello, and welcome. My name is Shaleatha Brown, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), U.S. Army veteran, and behavioral health therapist dedicated to helping individuals find healing, resilience, and lasting change. My military service instilled in me the values of integrity, resilience, compassion, and service—principles that continue to guide my work as a therapist.

I have experience working with adolescents and adults facing a variety of challenges, including anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma, life transitions, stress, self-esteem concerns, relationship difficulties, emotional regulation, bipolar disorder, and serious mental illness. Throughout my career, I have worked in outpatient behavioral health, hospital settings, community mental health, and intensive community-based programs, supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds and life experiences.

My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered. Whether you're navigating a difficult season of life or seeking personal growth, I am committed to helping you build practical skills, increase self-awareness, and create meaningful, lasting change.

I believe therapy is most effective when it is collaborative and tailored to your individual needs. I strive to create an environment where you feel comfortable being yourself while exploring difficult thoughts, emotions, and experiences at your own pace.

My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care. Together, we will identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, develop healthier coping strategies, build on your existing strengths, and work toward meaningful, achievable goals.

I believe healing is possible, and my role is to support, encourage, and equip you throughout that journey.

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another. We'll discuss what brings you to therapy, your current concerns, your personal history, and what you hope to accomplish through counseling. I'll also answer any questions you have about the therapy process so you can feel informed and comfortable moving forward.

There is no pressure to share everything during our first meeting. We will move at a pace that feels right for you while beginning to identify goals and develop a treatment plan that reflects your unique needs and priorities. My hope is that you leave our first session feeling heard, supported, and confident that you have a partner in your journey toward healing and growth.
