I have spent my career focused on LGBTQ+ issues, and more specifically, gender identity issues. Transition is a big decision, and there is a lot involved. I help clients to navigate gender identity questions, determine what the best path forward is, and connect them to the resources they need to pursue transition in the way that best fits for them. I guide my clients through the process of transition to help them achieve authenticity, including HRT and surgery letters in addition to counseling. I won't make you jump through hoops to get referrals, and can often approve you in a single session. Another of my specialties is working with couples. Relationships are fundamental to our existence. Using my extensive training and experience, I help couples to build healthier communication and conflict resolution. I am also experienced in working with polyamory, BDSM dynamics, same-sex relationships, and relationships where one partner is in transition. As a member of and advocate for the LGBTQ+ community, I understand the unique struggles that members of the community face regarding coming out, family complications, self-acceptance, and other issues. I help my clients to navigate these issues, and to live their best life possible.

Bryan Jason Brown, “Jason”, has a passion for working with teens and preteens, parents, and their families to help them through the everyday, and not so everyday, struggles of life. He also enjoys working with young adults as they navigate adulthood as well as helping couples thrive and grow in their relationships. Jason is a Licensed Professional Counselor. He has a Master of Science in Counseling from Abilene Christian University (2000), is a Certified Mental Health Coach by the American Association of Christian Counselors (AACC), is a Clinical Child and Adolescent Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP-CA), received a Certificate in Mediation from Abilene Christian University (2000), and is a trained Love and Logic Facilitator. Jason’s theoretical framework is eclectic, drawing from unique aspects of various theoretical approaches, including solution-focused, cognitive-behavioral therapy, individual psychology, person-centered, family systems, and emotionally focused therapy. Recognizing that every person interacts differently, Jason uses an array of techniques, often incorporating mindfulness, games, art, projects, writing, and various other activities into therapy sessions to keep each session personalized to the client and interactive to foster growth. Jason approaches counseling with a Christian perspective, recognizing that to some people faith is very important and to others faith is not a part of their lives. Yet, Jason believes every person is a masterpiece, created by God, with a purpose to do great things, so he strives to help each person be at their best. He and his wife Cori have been married for 19 years. As a father of three children spanning elementary, middle school, and high school he can appreciate working closely with parents in teaching skills and helping families come together. He has spent much time working in the community gaining experience through working with schools and school counselors, leading mentoring groups, leading teams of volunteers, and working with many local organizations serving people. Jason spends most of his time outside of therapy sessions doing life with his family, watching his oldest two daughters play soccer, and chasing his youngest as she is as eclectic in her hobbies as he is with therapy techniques.
