"In each of us, there is an innate ability to create joy out of suffering, to find hope in the most hopeless of situations, and to heal any relationship in need of healing."
Desmond TuTu
T. Tatum Brown, LMSW (Him/they)
Psychotherapist Intern
My focus is to create a safe and empathetic environment where individuals can explore their experiences and collaborate on their journey towards self-actualization and resilience. I believe everyone has unique strengths and abilities to overcome challenges and improve their quality of life. The goal of therapy is to empower clients by helping them recognize and utilize these strengths to facilitate recovery and healing.
My professional experience includes supporting adults with substance use disorders with co-occurring mental health diagnoses, victims of intimate partner violence, children and families involved in the family court system and in school-based environments. Using a person-centered and solution focused approach, I believe in meeting people where they are and collaborating towards self-growth and self-determination.
My passion is working with the LGBTQIA2+ community, particularly transgender and non-binary individuals by providing therapeutic spaces that foster self-discovery, self-acceptance, and overall well-being. My therapeutic style is centered on engaging each client with genuine empathy, cultural sensitivity, and deep respect for their unique experiences as they navigate their healing process and work towards their goals. The journey toward healing is not linear; it is a courageous step towards personal growth and self-care.
