ABOUT ME
I'm Mercedes Brown M.S., LPC-A. I am passionate about helping people win life's toughest battles to achieve a better quality of life. After years of working with adolescents, teens, and adults in school and counseling settings, I've learned the importance of self-care, self-love, and self-perseverance. With my emphasis of a change first needing to occur within the client, I will be compassionate and motivating, yet firm and transparent about how to reach your counseling goals. Also, as I strive to create the best treatment plan to meet your needs, I will draw from various theoretical approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy, reality therapy, solution focused therapy, person-centered counseling, dialectical behavioral therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy.

As an African American woman who has faced and is also still fighting through the perils of everyday life, I strive to offer my clients an authentic and relatable perspective that will encourage change and instill within them the confidence needed to move forward in their lives.
Life is hard. And it's even harder when you're fighting by yourself. But there is good news--you don't have to. Please allow me to get into the ring with you. Although we may not be able to control the challenges that life throws our way, we can control the way we respond to these situations. Without a doubt, counseling can equip you with the necessary skills to change your emotions, change your mindset, and change your life.
