Carman Brown (MSW, RSW)
Hi and welcome! Managing our relationships, work, school, and life changes can feel overwhelming. You may be overthinking about friends, jobs and relationships, or having a difficult time developing and maintaining positive relationships with family, friends, or partners. While these challenges pile up, anxiety, anger, and sadness can start to cloud our thinking making it hard to tackle what we're experiencing on our own. Therapy can help us cope with what we're are going through, while also helping us learn more about ourselves along the way and regain control over parts of our life we felt we lost.
In my experience, I have worked with many individuals who have struggled with anxiety, depression, life transitions, and conflict in their relationships. Most clients who connect with me are unsure with where to start on their therapy journey but excited to start.
Experience:
I have 5+ years of experience working with youth, adults, parents and families within schools, mental health community agencies, and hospital based settings. In these settings I have worked with youth and adults who need individual support with big life changes, relationship conflict, anxiety, and depression. I work from a strengths-based, client centred and solution focused lens while we work together to find solutions to problems you may feel ‘stuck on’ and work together to find strategies that can help you in your daily life.
