Psychiatrists in Cleveland, TX

“ If I am not for myself, who will be for me? And if not now, when?” Dr Brown believes it to be an extraordinary privilege to be trusted with patients’ life stories, and to alleviate pain and suffering. She is a native of Washington DC, but made Houston her home after earning a BS at George Washington in DC, completing medical school in Tel Aviv, Israel, and residency training in New York City, where she served as Chief Resident and was voted Resident of the Year. In addition to the privilege of being a healer, Dr Brown has had the academic honor of serving as a national examiner for board certification.

VIRTUAL APPOINTMENTS ARE AVAILABLE! As a double board-certified psychiatrist who enjoys doing intensive therapy I offer BOTH medication management (if necessary) and psychotherapy for adults, adolescents, and children. I focus on each person as an individual and not as a diagnosis. Confidentiality is of the utmost importance, is highly regarded and I personally return all calls. I utilize psychodynamic psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and supportive psychotherapy.

I strive to bring curiosity, openness, compassion, and a non-judgmental stance to my work and I challenge my patients to do the same. My patients want a way to feel and express their feelings and no longer avoid them. They want to open up their capacity for joy and acceptance.

I have expertise in diagnosing and treating people who are struggling with mood disorders, life transitions, relationship challenges, work and academic issues, in the context of underlying mental health issues. I am a Board-Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and Master Psychopharmacologist with more than 12 years experience in the field. My practice combines the best of psychiatric medical and nursing care. Most of my patients have anxiety disorders, mood disorders, trauma-related disorders, or ADHD. My patients collaborate to find the best treatment plan to move forward with life in a healthy, more satisfied way.

I am a firm believer in individualized medicine. Therefore, I usually take time to get to know the person and their life first and then evaluate the medical information in the context of that individual's experiences. I believe that this approach makes for an effective diagnosis and treatment process.

Our team has decades of experience providing compassionate, person-centered, and attuned care that extends beyond traditional standards. We deliver comprehensive and innovative treatment because we are passionate about our work, and about the results we see in our patients.

My ideal patient is someone who is looking not just for symptom relief but a deeper understanding of their condition. Their goals extend beyond mere "coping" to attaining a sustained quality of life. I also encourage patients to keep an open mind when it comes to treatment options. When medication isn't working, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) could be an option that helps them finally find relief.

I know your time is valuable. Initial consultative evaluation appointments are available for scheduling WITHIN 1-2 WEEKS, unless I am not accepting new patients at that time. I am a Board Certified Psychiatrist with Fellowships in Psychoanalysis and Mindfulness based treatments. I provide individualized treatment for those dealing with concerns about mood, anxiety, or struggles in one or more areas of life. While I offer short sessions of psychiatric care, my area of expertise is long sessions integrating treatments such as psychoanalysis talk therapy, exercise, mindfulness, and medications when indicated.
