Lynn Brown, EdD, LPC

As a person who lives with a progressively debilitating health issue, I contend with the need to constantly adjust to ongoing loss. Early in my life, I came to have a philosophy of living that has served me well; allowing for an attitude of gratitude and a sense of purpose that manifests in inner peace based upon authenticity. In all that I do, my desire is to create the opportunity for others to recognize and act on their empowerment.

EXPERIENCE


I have been working with clients for many years, using humanistic and cognitive therapy modalities with the adults and couples whom I treat. 


I believe in the inherent ability of everyone to heal and grow when provided the appropriate opportunity.  


My approach is honoring, kind, and forthright to enable my clients to feel safe, not judged, and yet make the progress they desire on their path to enhanced well-being.


I am a Professional Counselor licensed by the State of Michigan (No. 6401006543).
