About Dr. Debra Brown

I am a licensed clinician with over 27 years of behavioral health experience. I have worked closely with individuals, families, couples, military personnel, veterans, the LGBTQ community, celebrities, people suffering from acute health illnesses, addictive disorders, psychiatric issues, ex-offenders and prison populations. I’m skilled in providing support to clients that are coping with grief and loss, navigating life changes, presenting with relationship issues and experiencing immigration and acculturation challenges. I am committed to creating an open and safe environment for my clients where thoughts and feelings can be shared without the fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. I am here to support you on your journey.
