Great to meet you!

My name is Vania (Von-ya) Brown. I'm a doctorally-prepared advanced practice nurse with 39 years of experience in behavioral health, focused on mood and anxiety disorders in a goal-oriented way. I provide culturally humble treatment and would be glad to help you find steadier footing.

My approach to therapy

My practice style is goal-directed and transformational. I draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, and trauma-informed, strength-based care to help you work through anxiety, depression, grief, or the stress of daily life, and move past what is keeping you stuck.

What you can expect from me

Personal service is just a message away. To receive personalized care, it will be important to get to know you. I will conduct an assessment that helps me understand who you are, physiologically and culturally, how you think, and what your goals are. Together we may identify a name for what you are going through, and I will teach you how to cope with barriers to living and feel better. I am honest. I am transparent. I instill hope.
