Abby Brown, LPCC, LADC

Individual Psychotherapy | CBT & Accelerated Resolution Therapy

My work focuses on helping you better know and understand yourself—the parts that feel familiar, the parts that are difficult or painful, and perhaps even the parts you've learned to keep hidden. Together, we'll explore the experiences, relationships, and identities that have shaped you, while developing a clearer sense of what you want for yourself and your life.

In the room, you can expect me to be engaged, curious, and collaborative, with room for humor when it fits. I know how difficult it can be to bring all of who you are into therapy. I want to create a space where there's room for the fulfilled and unfulfilled parts, the serious and playful parts, and the parts you may still be learning to understand and accept.

As a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) and licensed alcohol and drug counselor (LADC) in Minneapolis, I integrate cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), person-centered, strengths-based, and solution-focused approaches. I'm also trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), an eye-movement-based intervention that can help people process traumatic and distressing experiences.

I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, gender identity and sexual orientation, body image, life transitions, and self-esteem. As someone with lived experience of chronic illness, I also bring an understanding of the ways health can shape identity, relationships, and our sense of ourselves.
