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.

As a licensed therapist with over two decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex emotional circumstances. My practice uses a holistic approach that helps to address challenges such as depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, and life transitions. This includes therapeutic strategies and problem solving while also exploring the mind-body connection and building foundations for meaning. My approach is collaborative and focused on helping clients develop self-acceptance, improve communication, overcome anxiety and rediscover their life purpose. The skills I find most helpful were developed through my own experience with depression and burn out. My process with holism helped me see that there is a life beyond coping that offers more options toward resilience, growth, and purposeful connection. In our work together, I prioritize creating a supportive, non-judgmental space where you can explore your experiences, develop coping skills, and move towards a more fulfilling life. My goal is to empower you to understand yourself more deeply and recognize your wholeness. From there it is easier to make positive, sustainable changes that reflect the person you really are.
