(she/her)
Hi, my name is Kandie Brown. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I have a Master’s in Social Work from Our Lady of the Lake University, San Antonio, TX and have been practicing for 5 years. I have worked in mental health services, nonprofits, and education for many years prior to becoming licensed. I strive to help clients find tools to cope with life’s stresses.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
A warm-welcoming invite to therapy. Come as you are! Introductions, initial assessment (what brings the client) into therapy and address any questions that the client may have and develop treatment plan goals. Finding a therapist that is a good fit for the client and the therapist is important. We will explore this together.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I follow a systemic approach to therapy and believe that to understand people and their challenges it is important to understand the systems and relationships they are a part of. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is one of authenticity, collaboration, and one that feels safe and supportive. I focus on the client’s strength and resiliency.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I work with adult client's 18+ who are struggling with relationship issues, work stress, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and other conditions who are eager to improve their lives for the better.
