Alison Brown

My name is Alison Brown and I am a licensed clinical psychologist based in Los Angeles, CA. I work with adult clients statewide via telehealth to provide the most effective strategies to treat a wide variety of concerns, including depression, anxiety, stress, grief/loss, phase of life issues, health/medical issues, and identity/career concerns. My priority is to find strategies that match the client's unique personality, needs, and life circumstances.

My approach

My approach to therapy is primarily mindfulness-based, compassion-focused, and culturally sensitive. My aim is to collaborate with the client to use holistic strategies that are in line with their worldview, values, and culture. This may include cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and somatic approaches.

My focus

I have experience working with a wide range of adults, including college-aged students, those in middle adulthood, and adults entering into their elder years. I assist clients in learning new skills to build resilience and thrive even during the most difficult life challenges. I truly believe that no one is "broken" or needs to be "fixed" and that we can all move toward healing and growth.

My communication style

My communication style is calm, compassionate, welcoming, and respectful. My goal is to create an environment that feels safe, trusting, nonjudgmental, and caring toward the client. It is crucial that the client feels heard, understood, accepted, and valued.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting is to collaborate closely with the client so that the treatment goals are achievable, motivating, and personally relevant to the client.
