Our Associates
I work with associate therapists who are early in their professional careers and cover a range of clinical topics. Each one is carefully selected for their life experience, clinical training, interpersonal skills, and strong character. They offer high-quality, compassionate care at a more affordable rate, making therapy more accessible to individuals and families facing financial barriers.
All associates receive close clinical supervision from Dr. Christopher Brown to ensure that care is consistent, ethical, and effective. This model allows us to support both the growth of emerging therapists and the well-being of the communities we serve.
