Sarah Brown, LPC

Sarah Brown is a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor who brings extensive experience in addiction and trauma work. She approaches counseling from a person-centered, solution-focused perspective and treats each referral as an opportunity to walk alongside clients while offering practical skills and steady support.

Her work draws on a range of evidence-informed techniques, including Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TF-CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI). These approaches are used to help clients develop coping strategies, manage emotions, and move toward the changes they want to make.

Sarah earned a Bachelor’s degree in Rehabilitation Studies in 2008 and began working in addiction counseling in 2009. Her career has included roles in adult and juvenile criminal justice settings, adult residential centers, and leading an addiction recovery program in a homeless shelter for women and children. She has also collaborated with family and criminal court systems to support individualized recovery plans. In 2018 she completed a Master of Arts in Integrated Recovery and Co-Occurring Disorders.

With a deep background in both addiction and trauma counseling, she regards it as a privilege when clients share their stories. She emphasizes that people may not have been responsible for what happened to them, and she focuses on supporting how they choose to respond from this point forward.
