Inclusive Counseling

Carrie Brown MSW,LISW

​

Hi, I'm Carrie.  I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker in Ohio. Thank you for considering me to walk beside you in your therapy journey. So much of how we see ourselves and the world is based on the beliefs we hold closely, sometimes unknowingly. These beliefs are developed and emphasized over time, feeling more and more like solid truth. All too often, these beliefs are not only untrue, they are harmful to our mental health and perception of who we are and what we're worth. I am dedicated to walking with you as you come to identify, understand and work through those beliefs to move toward self-compassion and growth. I am passionate about helping you to grow in self-awareness surrounding your emotions, relationships and ability to make changes within yourself. I have been a social worker for 20 plus years working in a variety of settings with individuals and families experiencing anxiety, depression, anger issues, grief and trauma. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a psychotherapy that enables people to heal from the emotional distress resulting from disturbing life experiences.

I also utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness techniques to address presenting symptoms and develop healthy coping skills. I believe the key to successful therapy is trust within the therapeutic relationship. I offer a space of unconditional acceptance and encouragement for you to explore your emotions and take steps toward lasting healing.
