About

Hi! My name is Gena Brown, I am a LPC licensed in the state of Oklahoma with over 4 years experience. After working as a Special Education teacher for 11 years I decided to leave the classroom and focus on helping people work through the struggles they face. My approach I believe that therapy is a collaborative process and guides clients to increase self-awareness, decrease symptoms, resolve conflicts, increase personal strengths, and set goals to have a more meaningful life experience. My therapeutic approach combines Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. My focus I have worked with clients from the age of 4 to adult with a multitude of presenting issues such as depression, anxiety, parenting conflicts, behavioral concerns, neurodevelopment disorders, family conflicts, trauma, and PTSD. My communication style I am passionate about meeting you where you are and providing a judgement free space that will allow us to find the best therapeutic approach to help you meet your goals. I look forward to meeting you! My journey to mental healthcare Working at a special education teacher I knew that my focus was on the whole student and that I needed to shift from education to mental health. I love that I am now able to use my skills as an educator to help my creates focus on their mental health needs while creating plans to help them reach their goals. My goals for you I believe that each step of the therapeutic process should be goal focused, to help my clients reach therapy goals and personal goals. My first session with you During our first session I try to provide a comfortable environment that allows the client and myself the opportunity to begin the initial steps of building a therapeutic relationship while gathering information to create a solid therapeutic plan.
