Ja’Lise Brown, LCSW

Ja’Lise Brown entered social work driven by a commitment to advocate for people who are oppressed and often overlooked. She is a person of faith who plays guitar and leads worship, and she brings a creative sensibility to her work through a love of design, decorating, and innovation. An avid reader and writer, she explores poetry, music, spoken word, stories, and prose in her personal life.

Brown sees connection as central to addressing the most pressing social problems, believing that humanity comes together more easily when people look beyond social constructs like race, class, gender, and political affiliation. She also draws on her spiritual perspective, suggesting that recognizing the Creator in oneself and others can help move past divisions created by society.

After relocating to Mississippi in 2015, Ja’Lise began practicing full-time in social work in 2017. Her professional background includes roles in child welfare, public schools, church ministry, Apple Retail, and community mental health - experiences that have shaped her therapeutic philosophies and practical approach. She has supported people dealing with stress and anxiety, relationship challenges, family conflicts, and trauma and abuse.

Ja’Lise creates an open atmosphere where thoughts and feelings can be expressed without fear of judgment, and she emphasizes the courage it takes to seek a more fulfilling, happier life. She holds the LCSW credential - Licensed Clinical Social Worker - and brings that clinical training to her work supporting clients through change and healing.
