Kristyn Brown, LMSW

My name is Kristyn (she/they) and I am Licensed Master of Social Work (LMSW) taking new clients at Ember Mental Wellness. Coming from a social work background, my clinical approach views individuals within the context of their environment—you are always the expert on your own life. Through reflective listening, empathetic validation, and evidence-based practices, I will work with you to navigate life's challenges, process difficult experiences, and build trust in your own decisions. My practice incorporates somatic awareness to help you recognize and understand feelings as they show up in the body. Through our work, it is my goal to help you strengthen your capacity for self-regulation and reconnect with a sense of safety from the inside out. It is my intention to create a warm, collaborative, and non-judgmental space where you can show up authentically.  

My therapeutic style is integrative and flexible, drawing primarily from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). Whether you are working through anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, boundary setting, relational conflict, trauma recovery, or identity exploration, our work will be tailored to your experience and goals.

I welcome adults (18+), couples, and families from all backgrounds. My background includes supporting survivors of intimate partner violence, high school students, young children and their families, and neurodivergent individuals on the autism spectrum. I am particularly passionate about providing an affirming space for couples and relationships, including those who identify as LGBTQIA+, neurodiverse, and/or non-monogamous. Wherever you are in your path right now, you are welcome here just as you are. I look forward to meeting you.
