About
As a counselor who has struggled with ADHD and social anxiety, I understand the impact that mental health can have on daily life.
Before earning my master’s degree in counseling education, I worked with autistic children in a clinical setting and teenagers in an inpatient setting. I primarily work with children and adolescents experiencing anger, anxiety, and depression, particularly those with ADHD or autism. I also have experience working with adults and families.
I believe in building a strong therapeutic relationship where clients feel comfortable enough for me to be honest, direct, and straightforward when needed. I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy, to meet each client where they are and tailor treatment to their individual needs.
I don’t just believe that people have the power to change—I know they do. I’ve seen it happen. When we work together toward a goal that is meaningful to you, I believe you can make lasting, meaningful change.

As a devoted counselor with nearly two decades of experience, I will approach our work together through a compassionate, collaborative lens where your unique narrative is honored and your inner strength is actively cultivated to guide your healing journey.
I've worked in mental health for almost 20 years. I graduated from the University of Alabama at Birmingham with a Bachelor's in Psychology and earned a Master's in Professional Counseling from Lipscomb University. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with experience providing individual and family counseling in Tennessee and Alabama. I work with clients dealing with life changes, and self-doubt. Common challenges include anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, and past trauma. Client goals typically involve finding emotional balance, building healthy boundaries, and improving communication to achieve personal clarity.
Clients can expect a safe, nonjudgmental space to share feelings. You'll learn practical tools to change negative thought patterns, cope with daily stress and life changes, and improve relationships. Sessions include active listening, clear practice steps, and honest feedback to track your growth.
Taking the first step takes courage. Your feelings are valid, you don't have to carry this alone, and healing is entirely possible. You deserve a nonjudgmental space where your voice is heard and experiences are honored. Together we can work through life's challenges, build your resilience and create a fulfilling path forward.

As someone who grew up in the field of mental health, I have come to appreciate the therapeutic value of allowing others to express themselves without reservation as well as affording them the respect and dignity they duly deserve.
My name is Elliott Brown, and I am a licensed professional counselor with over 25 years of experience in the field. When explaining the process of therapy to clients, I often use the “puzzle analogy”: a) you dump the pieces out on the table, b) I help you look for the edges and other patterns, c) you develop a clearer picture about how the rest of the puzzle needs to be solved, and d) you can frame your puzzle for easier reference in the future.
My approach aims to provide you with a sense of relief in expressing often unpleasant thoughts and feelings, while also helping you recognize the themes embedded within these expressions. In doing so, you may develop a greater awareness of the world around you and, as a consequence, become more resilient in the face of adversity.
Please let me know how I can be of help to you. Life's problems aren't something we have to tackle alone. Therapy doesn't have to look a certain way; sessions can be a time to unwind and talk about whatever you see fit. Above all, I hope that you will leave therapy a more insightful and happier person.

Resetting means reconnecting with what truly matters, letting go of what no longer serves you, and intentionally aligning your actions with your values. I’m here to support and guide you through that journey.
I specialize in working with individuals navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, grief and trauma. My approach is client-centered and collaborative. I create a safe, supportive environment for healing and growth. I earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Winston-Salem State University in 2007 and a Master's in Mental Health Counseling with a specialization in Behavioral Addictions from North Carolina A&T State University in 2012. Over 18 years, I've gained diverse experience across mental health settings. If you're facing a life shift, know you don't have to go through it alone. I'm here when you're ready to start.
Healing begins by reconnecting to what matters most. When facing pain or change, I help you slow down, listen inward, and release patterns that no longer serve you. I work with life transitions, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. My approach is collaborative. Healing happens when you feel safe and supported. We build strategies toward the life you want.
If you're ready to explore healing and growth, I'm here to walk alongside you with compassion. You don't navigate this alone. Your experiences deserve space to be held deeply with care and respect. When ready, please schedule an appointment. I look forward to supporting you as you move toward a life that feels more aligned, grounded, and authentically yours.

I believe mental health is a meaningful journey, and I’m here to help you navigate it with steadiness, support, and compassion.
I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) with 9 years of experience supporting clients through a wide range of mental health concerns. I specialize in treating mood disorders, anxiety, trauma-related conditions, behavioral challenges, and women’s mental health. My approach combines compassion, evidence-based care, and a focus on helping clients build clarity, confidence, and resilience in their daily lives.
I earned my doctorate in nursing from Walden University and have extensive experience providing individualized care across diverse clinical settings. I integrate psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and therapeutic approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to support meaningful change.
I believe healing starts with awareness and grows through intentional, supported change. Together, we will explore your thoughts, emotions, and patterns with honesty and compassion. My goal is to help you move from surviving to thriving—restoring calm, clarity, and confidence as you navigate life’s challenges.

Narrative therapy is a collaborative approach to counseling—one that views individuals as separate from their problems. It focuses on exploring the stories people tell about their lives, identities, and relationships, with the aim of identifying alternative narratives that empower change.
Narrative therapy works by externalizing problems, such as depression, anxiety, or conflict, from the individual and examining how these issues are constructed within social and cultural contexts. Therapists help clients identify dominant narratives that may be limiting or oppressive and support them in re-authoring their stories to create preferred outcomes.
Narrative therapy can address a wide range of personal, relational, and systemic issues, including mental health concerns, trauma, grief, addiction, family conflict, and social justice issues. It can be applied to individuals, couples, families, and groups across various cultural backgrounds.
Key principles of narrative therapy include externalizing the problem, deconstructing dominant narratives, exploring alternative perspectives, acknowledging and amplifying unique outcomes, and respecting clients’ agency and expertise in creating change.
The number of narrative therapy sessions varies depending on the complexity of the issues being addressed, the goals of therapy, and the preferences of the client. Some clients may experience significant progress in a few sessions, but others may need a larger number of sessions to enjoy the same results.
Yes, narrative therapy can be delivered through video sessions at Thriveworks, allowing clients to access therapy from the comfort of their own homes. Therapists can adapt narrative therapy techniques to the online environment while maintaining the principles of collaboration and empowerment.
Thriveworks offers a range of services, in addition to narrative therapy, each designed to meet specific needs. Our goal is to provide the right kind of support for every challenge you may face.
