Dr. Gregg Brown

Specialty and Therapeutic Approach I specialize in psychological testing for ADHD, ASD, learning disorders, as well as personality assessment. When working with clients I aim to create a welcoming, safe, and non-judgmental environment. I utilize an integrative approach in therapy that is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Object Relations therapy designed to meet each client’s specific needs. I may implement various techniques using mindfulness exercises cognitive restructuring and reality testing, and some projective testing instruments to understand the clients internal world more fully. I believe incorporating these techniques helps my clients to understand themselves better, process difficult emotions, identify aspects of their lives that they would like to change, and improve emotional regulation.
