I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California. I have a Master’s degree in Social Work from Our Lady of the Lake University, San Antonio, TX.
I follow a systemic approach to therapy and believe that to understand people and their challenges it is important to understand the systems and relationships they are a part of. I believe that the therapeutic relationship should be one of authenticity, collaboration and one that feels safe and supportive. I focus on the client’s strength and resiliency. I strive to help clients find tools to cope with life’s stresses.
I use a humanistic approach, CBT, existential, EMDR, narrative, solution focused, and mindfulness approaches and/or other modalities tailored to the client's needs. I strive to help clients find more adaptive habits that lead to more meaningful and fulfilling lives. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, depression, relationship issues, anger management, trauma, abuse and low-motivation, lack of self-esteem and lack of confidence.
I work with my clients in California to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support and empower you in that journey.
About me: I enjoy gardening, quilting, researching, reading, walking, hiking, travel and enjoying my dog and family.
Additional areas of focus: Communication problems, Forgiveness, Impulsivity, Life purpose, Post-traumatic stress, Self-love, Women's issues, Workplace issues

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Kandie Brown. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Kandie has been helping me on a journey of self discovery and building self worth and self compassion. Taking the time to allow me to feel what I feel while steadily giving me the tools to create more healthy patterns in my brain.
