LP, 25 years of experience
Hi! I'm a Licensed Psychologist based in Illinois. I received my doctorate from Indiana State University and have been practicing for 25 years. I help Individual adults who are struggling with mental health and life stressors and life challenges. I like to help people to become the best version of themselves. Where they feel more confident in their skin and life circumstances.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions and your expectations of therapy. Then we can discuss the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions. I like to work with you as a team in creating a plan and setting achievable goals.
Having worked with a variety health professionals (doctors, nurses, psychologist, social workers, holistic healers) or the past 25 years, I've developed research supported "tool boxes" for helping you. Beginning with identify the issue and possible root cause of the challenges you are facing and stressor that have entered into your life. Then we can create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress. Setting small goals that lead to big accomplishments that leads you to feeling better and more confident in your life.
I love working with people. I love my job and enjoy helping to encourage and motivate my clients toward the improvements they would like to make. My clients are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. People can often feel stuck, overwhelmed and anxious about what is going on in their lives. I enjoy providing support and resources throughout the therapy process.
I use this method because it is flexible. Its clear for the client to see their progress by reaching set goals as well as through changed behaviors and cognitions. CBT techniques can be combined with other techniques and specialties e.g, exposure response therapy, solutions focused, interpersonal therapy, etc. With the client I can we can create a individual plan with clear set of goals and strengths.

Heather is, without a doubt, one of the most supportive and genuinely caring therapists I’ve ever encountered. She listens without judgment, understands on a deep level, and truly shows up for her clients. You can tell that helping people isn’t just her job. it’s her passion. I honestly can’t recommend her enough to anyone who’s considering therapy

My first session with Dr. Heather Brown was great. She is a very warm and intelligent woman with a sense of humor. I enjoyed our session and will definitely be making my second appointment straight away.
