I'm so glad you are here. Taking the first step in seeking therapy, and the strength it takes to ask for help, is HUGE. I'm proud of you, for showing up for yourself. Finding someone to talk to, someone who will listen and someone you feel comfortable with, is crucial when you, or someone you love, is hurting or struggling. I believe we can all benefit from talking to an unbiased person that has our best interest in mind. My goal is to be that for my clients. As a therapist I don’t have all the answers, and that’s not my job, my job is to help you find your answers.

I’m a trauma-informed couples and individual therapist who thrives on helping clients understand the root of their issues, feel safe in their bodies, connect on a deep level in their relationships, and change negative thinking patterns! 

I believe that each and every one of my client's has within them the power to heal themselves and change their own behavior. My purpose is to use my experience and knowledge to collaborate with you and assist in analyzing and determining patterns of learned behavior or thinking that, while understandable, haven't been working out as well as you'd like. Then, together, I will assist you in building awareness, discovering your power, and teaching you how to use your power to make your own life altering positive change. My goal for each one of my client's is not only to help, but to have each one leave my office feeling empowered. I utilize techniques and perspectives associated with cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal, and humanistic therapies. Using an integrative approach, I will work with you to develop a treatment plan that pulls the most positive aspects of each theory to customize a plan that works best for your individual set of concerns. Availability: Virtual appointments available Mon-Thurs 10am-6pm. In-person appointments available Fri & Sun 12pm-6pm. If you have any questions, or just want to call to discuss if I may be the right counselor for you, please feel free to call or send me an email. Thank you.

Parents want what is best for their child and they want someone that will let their child learn and explore their experiences in a safe environment. You want to learn how to support your child/adolescent at home by gaining resources and tools that will improve relationships and behaviors. I help individuals, groups, parents, children, adolescents, and adults navigate through their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I work with issues of depression, grief, anxiety, behavior, self-harm, suicidality, and neurodiversity. You want someone that will listen and assist you in meeting your goals and I will guide you along the way. With a diversified approach using modalities such as trauma-focused CBT, child-centered play therapy, animal assisted therapy, and cognitive behavioral theory, I teach the client how to recognize that thoughts can change their feelings and emotions in various situations which can then induce adverse behaviors and body sensations. My goal is to help clients process trauma and teach how to implement strategies to build healthy thought patterns leading to a foundation for lifelong resilience and well-being. Neurodiverse people will learn skills to help with relationships/friendships, social cues, perspectives, and emotional regulations. I'm ready to meet and support you!

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.
