Deanna Brown
I believe in the importance of growth and healing for anyone who seeks it. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and graduated from John Jay College of Criminal Justice with my Master's in Forensic Mental Health Counseling. I have worked in mental health for approx.
I am warm and affirming and seek to empower my clients in a way that builds confidence and security in themselves.
12 years, providing care to a range of clients in many different settings in New York and Virginia.
First session
Therapy should guide clients towards seeing themselves in a more clear, connected, and empathetic way. I want clients to feel good about themselves, ask for what they need, build secure connections, and lean into their strengths while discovering their personal power towards positive change.
Strengths
As a provider, I do my best to build strong and meaningful connections with clients. I am warm and affirming and seek to empower my clients in a way that builds confidence and security in themselves.
Ideal clients
Many of the populations I have worked with have consisted of young adults, people of color, and members of the LGBTQIA+ community. I also provide counseling and support to couples, including monogamous, polyamorous, and ethically non-monogamous relationships.
Treatment methods
Psychoanalytic
I have worked in a variety of therapeutic settings including community mental health, corrections, crisis intervention, and private practice. I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression, and gender dysphoria. I typically use a client-centered approach with a psychodynamic focus, although I do adjust my treatment approach/modality according to a client’s individual needs.
