Amelia Smith-Brown
I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who supports children, teens, adults, and couples navigating anxiety, emotional stress, life transitions, and relationship challenges. My style is warm, genuine, and approachable—blending professionalism with a colorful, fun, and open atmosphere that helps clients feel safe, relaxed, and truly seen in the healing process.My work focuses on creating a safe, compassionate space where clients feel understood, build emotional regulation skills, and strengthen meaningful connection—leading to greater clarity, confidence, and lasting personal growth.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
The first session is a calm, supportive space to share what’s bringing you to therapy and what you hope will feel different in your life or relationships. We move at a comfortable pace, explore your goals, and begin identifying patterns, strengths, and next steps for care. My priority is helping you feel safe, heard, and hopeful about the work ahead.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My greatest strengths are creating emotional safety, quickly understanding underlying relational and attachment patterns, and blending evidence-based approaches such as EFT, CBT, mindfulness, somatic work, and play therapy in ways that feel practical and meaningful. Clients often share that they feel deeply seen, gently challenged, and supported in making real, lasting change—not just temporary relief.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I work best with individuals, teens, and couples who are ready to better understand themselves, their relationships, and the patterns that may be keeping them feeling stuck. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected, or emotionally exhausted, often after trying to manage everything on their own for a long time. They may struggle with people-pleasing, overthinking, difficulty expressing emotions, or feeling unseen in their relationships. I am especially well-suited to support clients who: Experience anxiety, stress, or emotional overwhelm Feel disconnected from themselves or unsure of their purpose Have a history of attachment wounds, trauma, or complex family dynamics Struggle with communication, conflict, or rebuilding trust in relationships Tend to take care of others while neglecting their own needs Are navigating life transitions, identity shifts, or relationship changes For couples, I work with partners who want to improve communication, rebuild emotional safety, and deepen connection, even if they feel stuck in cycles of conflict or distance. My clients don’t need to have everything figured out—they just need to be open to exploring, growing, and showing up as they are. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready for something to shift, therapy can be a space to slow down, gain clarity, and move forward with intention.

Attachment-based
I specialize in attachment-based therapy, helping individuals and couples understand how early relational experiences shape current emotions, communication, and relationship patterns. My work focuses on creating emotional safety, strengthening connection, and supporting clients in healing attachment wounds so they can experience more secure and fulfilling relationships.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
My work integrates CBT to support clients in recognizing negative thought cycles, improving emotional regulation, and developing healthier behavioral responses. I provide structured, compassionate guidance that empowers individuals, couples, and families to create lasting, evidence-based change.
Couples Counseling
Couples therapy provides a safe space for partners to feel heard, improve communication, and rebuild connection. I use evidence-based approaches like EFT, attachment-based therapy, and CBT to help couples repair trust and create lasting, healthy change.
Play Therapy
I use play therapy to help children safely express emotions, build coping skills, and process experiences through developmentally appropriate, creative interaction. My approach is warm, structured, and supportive of each child’s emotional growth and sense of safety.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
My work includes mindfulness and body-based practices that help clients slow down, regulate emotions, and reconnect with a sense of safety within themselves. These evidence-informed techniques support healing from stress, anxiety, and trauma.
