Kelly Brown

Kelly Brown is a licensed clinical social worker in Connecticut, holding the state license CT LCSW 009915, and she is also a licensed drug and alcohol counselor and a small business owner. She brings a focused clinical approach to treating substance use and addictive disorders, depression and anxiety, and eating disorders, with particular experience working with individuals who struggle with binge eating disorder.

Kelly uses an eclectic blend of evidence-informed methods, drawing on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), Inner Child work, Seeking Safety, Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative therapy. She tailors treatment to each person - matching approaches to a client’s strengths and goals rather than applying a single method for everyone.

Her practice also addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, relationship issues, LGBT-related matters, family conflict, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy challenges, sleep difficulties, parenting concerns, self-esteem, career-related struggles, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.

Outside of clinical roles, Kelly identifies as a wife, a mother, and an elder millennial, and she notes that her own experiences with major life transitions have informed her clinical perspective and occasionally lend a touch of humble humor to her work. She describes herself as a people person who gains energy from being around others and is committed to helping those in need.

Kelly has 4 years of experience providing therapy services and emphasizes collaborative, individualized care designed to meet each person where they are in their journey.
