Christina Brown

Christina Brown (B.S., M.A., LCMHC) earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a minor in English from Appalachian State University in 2013 and a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Montreat College in 2017. She holds an NC LCMHC license - Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor - under license number 13618.

With eight years of counseling experience, Christina has spent the majority of her clinical work on an Assertive Community Treatment team in Asheville, North Carolina, supporting individuals with severe and persistent mental health diagnoses. Her background includes work with a wide range of people, from children with severe emotional and behavioral challenges to adults managing persistent mental illness and co-occurring disorders.

Christina approaches counseling through a multimodal, person-centered lens that emphasizes clients as active participants in their own growth. She practices from a strengths-based perspective and blends techniques such as Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction, Solution-Focused methods, and Expressive Arts Therapy to address each person’s unique needs. She views counseling as a way to support the whole person - emotional, physical, mental, social, and spiritual - while providing a safe space for self-discovery and change.

Christina balances her clinical work with family life as a wife and as a boy mom to a 3-year-old son. She is a lover of cats and dogs and enjoys boating, hiking, snow skiing, cooking, live music, and tarot and oracle card readings. She currently offers evening session times only, as she works full-time during daytime hours, and notes that arriving more than 10 minutes late to a session will result in logging out of the meeting room and the appointment being considered a no show.
