Our therapists offer PTSD & trauma therapy in Hattiesburg, MS

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I earned my Bachelor of Social Work with a minor in Psychology from The University of Southern Mississippi and my Master of Social Work from The University of Alabama. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, and other challenges that impact their daily lives. Whether you're seeking healing from past experiences or looking to build healthier coping skills, I strive to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and empowered.

My approach is collaborative and tailored to each client's unique needs. I have specialized training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and psychotherapy.

Together, we'll identify your strengths, develop practical coping strategies, and work toward meaningful, lasting change.

My name is Elliott Brown, and I am a licensed professional counselor with over 25 years of experience in the field. When explaining the process of therapy to clients, I often use the “puzzle analogy”: a) you dump the pieces out on the table, b) I help you look for the edges and other patterns, c) you develop a clearer picture about how the rest of the puzzle needs to be solved, and d) you can frame your puzzle for easier reference in the future.

My approach aims to provide you with a sense of relief in expressing often unpleasant thoughts and feelings, while also helping you recognize the themes embedded within these expressions. In doing so, you may develop a greater awareness of the world around you and, as a consequence, become more resilient in the face of adversity.

Please let me know how I can be of help to you. Life's problems aren't something we have to tackle alone. Therapy doesn't have to look a certain way; sessions can be a time to unwind and talk about whatever you see fit. Above all, I hope that you will leave therapy a more insightful and happier person.
