If you’ve been carrying trauma, grief, addiction, identity questions, or the pressure to always stay strong, therapy can be a place to sort through it. For the past 6 years, I’ve helped people make sense of what they’re feeling and what they need next. As a neurodivergent therapist, I’m thoughtful about creating an approach that fits you.

Tracy Vickers

Therapist

Virtual • Dothan, AL


For the past 8 years, I’ve worked closely with elderly and disabled individuals, supporting them through life’s emotional and practical challenges. Before becoming a social worker, I worked in banking, but I felt a strong pull toward work that allowed me to truly make a difference in people’s lives. That calling led me to counseling. I bring compassion, patience, and a deep respect for each person’s story into the work we do together.

Jerusalem Brown

Jerusalem Brown

Therapist

Virtual • Alabama


Hey, hey! I’m Jerusalem Brown, a licensed psychotherapist and the founder of Mental Health Monarchs—but more importantly, I’m a real person who has done (and is still doing) the deep work of healing myself, and I pride myself on being a therapist who also has a therapist. [insert a wink here]

I’m a self-proclaimed introverted extrovert—deeply intuitive, warm, and reflective, with just enough boldness to challenge what’s not working in your life (lovingly, of course). I have 15+ years of experience in mental health (six as a licensed therapist). I hold a post-master's certification to teach psychology and a master’s in Professional Counseling, and I specialize in working with adults navigating anxiety, emotional neglect, trauma, low self-worth, boundary challenges, and complex relationship patterns.

But this isn’t just professional for me—it’s personal. I created Mental Health Monarchs because I am the kind of client I serve. I know what it’s like to grow up with food, clothes, and shelter, but feel emotionally unseen. I know the weight of being the “strong one” while silently unraveling inside. Therapy changed my life—but the real transformation came when I stopped performing strength and started practicing boundaries, unapologetic self-care, and emotional self-mastery.

My approach is intuitive, culturally grounded, compassion-forward, and often humorous. I blend depth with creativity, and I hold space for you to show up fully—without shame, masks, or performance because I believe healing should feel like coming home to yourself—not like performing for perfection.

If you're ready to unpack, unlearn, and reclaim the parts of yourself that had to stay hidden to survive...I’d be honored to walk that journey with you. Let's go!
