I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a strong background in trauma-informed care, anxiety treatment, and grief work. I believe therapy should feel safe, collaborative, and respectful of your lived experience. I understand how past trauma, chronic stress, and life transitions can shape the nervous system and impact daily functioning, even when life looks “okay” on the outside. My role is to meet you where you are, without judgment, and help you make sense of your experiences while building practical tools for healing. I value authenticity, emotional safety, and meaningful connection in the therapeutic relationship.

Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, depression, ADHD, anger, grief, or past trauma begin to take up more space than the life you want to live. You may be exhausted from carrying everything on your own, struggling to manage emotions, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. I work with adults and teens who are ready for change but may not know where to start. Together, we'll create a space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to heal, build confidence, strengthen relationships, and move forward with greater clarity and purpose.

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!
