Sarah Brown, LPC

Sarah Brown is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor with 13 years of experience supporting people through addiction, trauma, mood changes, and relationship challenges. She views each person as the expert of their life and combines empathetic, person-centered listening with practical, solution-focused strategies to help clients move forward.

Her approach draws on techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing. These methods are used to build coping skills, process difficult experiences, manage emotions, and create concrete plans for recovery and change.

Sarah earned a Bachelor’s degree in Rehabilitation Studies in 2008 and a Master of Arts in Integrated Recovery and Co-Occurring Disorders in 2018. She began working in addiction counseling in 2009 and has experience in adult and juvenile criminal justice settings, adult residential treatment centers, and directing an addiction recovery program in a homeless shelter for women and children. She has also collaborated with family and criminal court systems to support individualized recovery journeys.

Known for walking alongside clients rather than directing them, Sarah offers supportive skills training while honoring individual goals and choices. She works with people facing substance use, trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, relationship and family issues, grief, caregiving strain, and related concerns, tailoring care to each person’s needs and strengths.
