About
As someone who grew up in the field of mental health, I have come to appreciate the therapeutic value of allowing others to express themselves without reservation as well as affording them the respect and dignity they duly deserve.
My name is Elliott Brown, and I am a licensed professional counselor with over 24 years of experience. I enjoy working with adults and children who have a host of issues to unpack: anxiety, depression, trauma, divorce, relationship troubles, work headaches, grieving, and getting older, to name a few. 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, and c) you develop a clearer picture about how the rest of the puzzle needs to be solved.
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.

With a background in working with young adults or elderly, I am able to help you through many different life transitions from a holistic approach.
Hello! I am Melody Davisson, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I enjoy working with individuals ages 13 and up, including young teens, adults, families, and older adults. I worked in hospice for 4 years, and I worked at The University of Southern Mississippi for 5 years teaching Social Work students.
I utilize a holistic approach and will also integrate spiritual counseling into our sessions if needed. I recognize that everyone needs support in different ways, and my goal is to help you build the skills and insight you need to live a fulfilling life.
I have a passion for helping individuals navigate life’s transitions and rediscover who they are in each season of life. Change—whether expected or unexpected—can bring uncertainty, grief, and growth, and you do not have to walk through it alone.

Couples therapy and marriage counseling, also known as relationship counseling, helps couples work through their specific relationship issues. Some examples of common focuses within couples therapy and marriage counseling include:
The types of therapy used in couples and marriage counseling include:
At Thriveworks, Couples/marriage therapy is led by licensed professionals — often licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) — who are experts in their field and best-equipped to help couples.
The Gottman Method of couples therapy is a research-supported approach designed to enhance relationships by bolstering the bond between partners, resolving conflicts, and fostering shared meaning in their relationship through comprehensive assessments and tailored interventions that improve communication, trust, and the overall health of the partnership.
If you’re facing persistent relationship problems, communication breakdowns, or unresolved conflicts that are impacting your emotional well-being and happiness, Couples/marriage therapy may be beneficial for you.
While marriage and couple’s counseling is typically recommended for couples who are experiencing persistent or severe relationship issues, any relationship can benefit from attending these sessions.
Marriage and couples counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you and your partner.
On average, couples attend marriage and couples counseling for 12 weeks. However, couples & marriage counseling may last longer or shorter, dependent on the couples’ needs, the challenges they’d like to work through, and the pace of their progress.
At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance. Self-pay rates for talk therapy range from $160 to $240 for intake sessions and $135 to $195 for follow-ups, depending on your state. For psychiatry services, self-pay intake sessions are $255–$375, with follow-ups ranging from $175–$300, also varying by state. More information on current self-pay costs is available on our pricing page.
Relationships aren’t easy. If you’re in one, you probably already know that. They take a lot of hard work, communication, and trust. Conflicts are bound to come up. No matter how long you and your partner have been together, you’re likely going to hit some rough patches. And that’s okay!
At Thriveworks Counseling in Jackson, MS, we have marriage counselors and couples therapists who are trained and experienced in helping couples work through all different kinds of problems and challenges. Our counselors and therapists will spend time assessing both of your needs, challenges, and goals. Doing so will give them a full picture of what is going on in order to best treat the matters at hand. With the information they gather, they’ll create a customized treatment plan that is specific to you and your partner.
If you feel like you and your significant other would greatly benefit from working with one of our mental health professionals, consider reaching out today.
Couples counseling and marriage counseling involve partners working with mental health professionals called marriage and family therapists to improve communication and problem-solving skills, resolve conflicts, facilitate honest conversation, and boost overall relationship dynamics.
Common reasons why couples choose to work with one of our counselors or therapists include:
When you’re having a persistent issue, no matter how big or small, getting the help of an outside, unbiased perspective is the best thing you can do. On average, couples will wait several years before getting the help they need to save their relationship, but that wait often means running the risk of ruining your relationship.
It doesn’t matter if you’ve only been dating for a few months or have been married for over 10 years, you could most likely benefit from speaking with a trusted mental health professional. Even if there are no uncomfortable issues in your relationship, seeing a mental health professional together can help strengthen your healthy bond and provide a space to perform regular relationship maintenance.
