I have 23 years of training and experience working with adults who struggle with low self-esteem, imposter syndrome, anxiety, depression, bipolar, and anger. I'm also very experienced with clients working on transitions such as going to college, new job, marriage, starting a family, a divorce, or coping with a past or recent trauma. I've worked for many years in drug treatment too. I think clients are looking for a way to gain insight and awareness of how challenges effect their thinking, and want to learn new skills to improve how they feel and function in the world.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stressed, and overly emotional? Trying to "fix" things on your own without success? Untreated, these feelings often lead to anxiety, depression, family conflict and increase stress; this prevents you from living your life to the fullest. Coping during stressful times requires talking to a compassionate professional who will treat you with dignity and respect. The goal of therapy is for each person to reach their highest potential in all areas of their lives. I treat children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families experiencing various emotional and psychological symptoms.

As a licensed professional counselor and a counselor educator/supervisor, I have engaged with the profession of counseling for multiple years in a variety of capacities from practicing as a clinician to teaching in a graduate counseling program. My experience and focus in my practice and education are trauma informed care, suicidal assessment and treatment, grief and loss, divorce issues, faith/spirituality issues, and marital/relationship counseling. I have enjoyed helping a number of clients reach their goals and commit to change.

Whether you and your partner are dealing with a lack of intimacy, frequent miscommunication, or are simply preparing to take the "next step" in your relationship via marriage and/or parenthood, we all experience moments when we could use an empathetic ear. The honesty of someone who is able to both challenge and support us may be all we need to achieve our relationship goals. I love collaborating with couples in a compassion-filled process influenced by Gottman Couples Therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy. With each couple, I work to create a safe and welcoming space for clients to bring their whole selves to session.

I work with older teenagers and adults experiencing conflict, which can contribute to anxiety, depression, and adjustment issues. Many of my clients are in transitional life phases when miscommunications and disagreements are most likely to emerge—especially with loved ones. I offer practical skills for communicating through conflict so clients can fully express themselves, feel understood, and use the situation as an opportunity to build the relationship.

We are wired for connection. Whether it's our relationship with others or with ourselves, healthy connections will help us thrive and live our best life now! I can help you strengthen and/or repair your relationships by teaching you effective tools and strategies for everyday living through individual, family, or couple’s counseling.

Hello! My name is Dr. Chelece-Atavia Brown, a Pre-Licensed Social Worker (LSW) for New Jersey and a certified facilitator in Teen Mental Health First Aid by the National Council of Well-Being. I have experience in providing therapeutic services for children, teens, adults, couples, and groups. I assist high-achieving Black women and men with navigating life stressors. I'm passionate about bridging the gap between faith and mental health to increase an individual's quality of life.

I have experience working with men and women of all ages who are dealing with stress, anxiety/depression, and unresolved trauma and loss. I am passionate about hearing your story and journeying with you to explore your therapeutic needs/concerns. I will also help you identify core issues such as life transitions, stressors or negative core beliefs, or cognitive distortions and provide the support and tools that you need to achieve your therapeutic goals.

My ideal client is someone who understands the areas of their life that need improvement. They have an idea of potential treatment goals for therapy and is open to the process. Additionally, they believe there are many ways to address previous traumas and can identify preferences for treatment. For example, a client who is open to incorporating journaling, meditation, or other holistic practices in addition to traditional talk therapy. My ideal client intentionally commits to the therapeutic process and is open to collaboration in the therapeutic space.

My ideal client is a young adult under the age of 35 who may have difficulty with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, adjusting to new circumstances, stress, family strain, relationship issues, and cultural stress.
