More about Eliza Jade Brown
I support a non-pathologizing approach and comfortably meet with clients wherever they are in their mental health journey.
This said, I also provide ample support for clients in navigating medically necessary mental health care, and specialize in addressing Complex PTSD and ADHD. This includes mental health challenges that may stem from or connect with both such as chronic anxiety and difficulty managing emotions leading to unhealthy coping that may affect a person's self-esteem and important relationships.
I am a Master's level therapist as an LCSW-S (Licensed Clinical Social Worker Supervisor) with the ability to provide supervision for LMSWs in Texas, I have advanced clinical training as a NARM Master Therapist, and I serve on a Board of Directors for a Filipino mental health nonprofit, Kasamahan.
Prior to opening my private practice in 2021, I worked as a therapist and social worker in various mental health care settings such as group practices, outpatient clinics, psychiatric hospitals, and court system in the Austin, TX area.
I am a first generation Filipino American immigrant and mostly grew up in the Dallas-Fort Worth, TX area. Due to family, I am also familiar with the culture in Chicago, IL, Manila, Philippines, and Wellington, New Zealand.
Walk-and-Talk Nature Sessions
Although I appreciate the convenience of meeting online with my clients, I also enjoy incorporating in-person sessions in a way I find most therapeutic—in a natural setting with the freedom to move in a way that feels natural.
To request and schedule out a walk-and-talk appointment simply mention this during an online consultation or initial appointment.
I will send you an additional consent form through your client portal with more information, and share directions and anything else to help you prepare for the space. If weather or any transportation issues arise, please note that we will need to switch to an online appointment instead of cancelling the therapy appointment altogether. Due to this, I recommend only getting started if you are comfortable and have the flexibility to meet online.
The location depends on the day and what we determine will best fit your needs with the session. As with meeting in any public space, there may be less privacy which we can discuss and plan for together.
I recommend wearing shoes and clothes that focuses on comfort, bringing water (preferably in a reusable, non-plastic bottle), and a small bag that securely holds your phone, wallet, and keys. During hot weather, I recommend wearing protective clothing, a hat, and sunscreen.
Other than this, show up as you are! You may be surprised how simple and natural it is to have therapy outdoors. Meeting out in nature may also allow for more accessibility with practicing mindfulness while engaging in therapy.
