Abby Brown, PhD
Introduction
I specialize in working with adults with eating disorders and disordered eating, and the conditions that often co-occur with eating concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and trauma. As a Clinical Psychologist with experience in residential programs, university counseling centers, and community mental health settings, I've worked with many adults navigating these complex issues. I'm grounded in a social justice framework—I understand how identity, cultural context, and systemic factors shape mental health, and I'm committed to working thoughtfully with clients whose experiences have been marginalized. My approach integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Health at Every Size principles. I believe therapy works best when built on a foundation of collaboration, safety, and trust. I hope that clients will learn new skills and strategies for coping with life’s demands and will gain insight into what contributes to and maintains unfulfilling behavioral, emotional, and relational patterns. I currently exclusively offer telehealth sessions to clients in PSYPACT states, though I am not accepting new clients at this time.
