Hello! I’m Dan Brown, a licensed professional counselor specializing in working with teens and young adults. I have been working with teens and young adults as a LPC for over 2 years, and previously worked with teens and young adults as a mentor, parkour coach, and youth leader. My areas of expertise include anxiety, depression, loneliness, and grief, PTSD, perfectionism, social struggles, and school related difficulties.

I am first and foremost a person-centered therapist. I believe that the best way to help a client is to start by listening and holding space. This allows an authentic connection to develop and sets the groundwork for further growth. As I develop an understanding of your specific needs, I can then tailor my approach to help you meet your individual goals. I also provide many evidenced based treatments which help rewire the nervous system to experience less dysregulation and increase motivation. These involve DBT skills, mindfulness techniques, and somatic experiencing techniques. These techniques have been thoroughly studied and have been shown to improve our brain’s long-term functioning. I love using these interventions because they can equip individuals to influence the growth of their own minds.

Outside of counseling I have numerous hobbies including reading too many fantasy books, playing ultimate frisbee, hiking, dancing, cooking, slacklining, rock climbing, playing video games, playing board games, and going on random adventures with my wife.

I just want to note that the teen and young adult years are often full of change and growth. This change often comes in the form of crises and adversity. Learning to face adversity often leads to profound growth. I would be honored to be a part of your journey and cannot wait to see the ways that you grow into your authentic self!
