Shanita Brown

With over 20 years of clinical experience, I bring a compassionate, understanding and results-driven approach to therapy. My education began at Chicago State University where I received bachelor's degree and Jane Addams College of Social Work where I received my masters. I specialize in helping individuals navigate anxiety, depression, mood, and personality disorders with clarity and confidence. Together, we’ll build practical tools and deeper insight so you can feel more in control and live your best life.

I create a warm, supportive space where you can feel truly heard and understood. As a nonjudgmental and attentive listener, I work collaboratively with you to explore challenges and build meaningful change. I primarily use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), along with supportive and solution-focused approaches, to help you develop practical tools and coping skills. We will work together to shift unhelpful patterns and behaviors, and move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.

In our first session, I’ll start with a brief introduction so you can get a sense of who I am and how I work. I’ll take time to learn what brings you to therapy, including your goals, concerns, and any relevant background information, while creating a space where you feel comfortable sharing your thoughts. I’ll also walk you through what ongoing sessions will look like and how teletherapy works, so you feel informed, supported, and confident moving forward.
