A Short Bit About Erin Brown

Erin Brown

Marriage & Family Therapist, EdS, LMFT, LMHC, QS

I continually strive to help clients feel motivated to reach their goals while feeling comfortable with me. I enjoy helping people help themselves. I assist with communication skills to increase understanding in their relationships, as well as the relationship with the self. I am person-centered in that I consider the client as the expert on their lives while I am the expert on techniques that bring out the client’s true self. I am also systems oriented in that I help examine the systems within the client, the client’s relationships, and the client’s community in order to create change on multiple levels in the client’s life.

I specialize in EMDR therapy, Play therapy, and have completed Level 1 Training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy. I help clients who find themselves repeating relationship patterns that perpetuate a cycle of trauma in their lives. I work to empower clients to reconnect with their inner selves.

Building trust with a counselor is an incredibly important part of a successful counseling relationship. I understand that it can be difficult to open up to a stranger and I work hard to make the transition as easy as possible. I invite you to set up a session with me and decide for yourself if it is a good fit for you.
