Therapy with me is a mix of insight + strategy: we name the pattern, build the tools, and practice what works—so your healing shows up in real life, not just in session.
I’m Alyiah Brown, LPC, and I provide therapy that is warm, direct, and deeply practical.
My approach is unique because I blend evidence-based counseling with a criminology + psychology-informed lens—the study of why people do what they do.
That means we don’t just talk about what happened; we look at the behavior patterns, relationship dynamics, environments, and roles that keep repeating in your life (the fixer, the peacekeeper, the one who carries everything).
Clients often tell me I “connect the dots” quickly—not by guessing, but through targeted questions, pattern recognition, and a systems-focused perspective that helps us get to the root. Clinically, I use a trauma-informed, skills-based approach grounded in CBT, ACT-informed strategies, DBT-informed skills (emotion regulation, distress tolerance, boundaries), and Solution-Focused Therapy.
Together we’ll build a clear plan to reduce anxiety and overthinking, stabilize mood, strengthen boundaries, and improve communication—so you feel more in control internally and more confident externally. I also take a holistic, humanistic approach because you’re a whole person—not a diagnosis.
When appropriate, I have experience coordinating with medical providers to support the full picture (sleep, hormones, medication factors, stress physiology, and how the body holds emotional strain). And if faith/spirituality matters to you, I can integrate it in a way that’s respectful, empowering, and clinically grounded—never forced, always aligned with your values.
Clients often come to me for support with:
• Anxiety, chronic stress, overthinking, and perfectionism
• Depression, emotional exhaustion, and burnout
• Boundaries, people-pleasing, and self-worth
• Relationship conflict, family dynamics, and communication patterns
• Life transitions and identity shifts
• Trauma-informed support and nervous system regulation If you’re ready for therapy that feels human, structured, and effective, I’d love to support you.
