Dr. Rebecca “Emjay” Brown

Hello and welcome!  I’m Dr. Brown, a licensed clinical psychologist, AASECT- and MSTI certified sex therapist, and certified integrative mental health professional through Evergreen Certifications. I operate in Washington, D.C. and Maryland, focusing on adults who are 20 years and older.

Philosophy:

I believe in an eclectic approach to therapy. Rather than being tied to one method, I pull from a range of techniques to cater to individual needs. Our journey together won’t just scratch the surface. We’ll focus not just on alleviating surface-level symptoms, but also on delving into the underlying issues holding you back from living a fulfilling life. Furthermore, I prioritize cultural competence in my practice, acknowledging that your unique background—be it race, gender, sexuality, or relationship status—needs to be an integral part of your treatment plan.

Who I Work With:

My theoretical doors are wide open to everyone, regardless of race, gender, culture, or religion. If you’re a part of the LGBTQIA+ community, a sex worker, a member of the kink scene, or have a distinct cultural or religious identity, you’ll find a safe and non-judgmental space here.

Approach:

My therapy style is integrative, blending time-tested techniques with modern third-wave principles. Imagine our sessions as transparent, heart-to-heart chats. I appreciate humor, often use analogies to shed light on situations, and always aim to offer fresh perspectives. Authenticity from your end will maximize our time’s effectiveness. And yes, there might be ‘homework’ – our therapy is a partnership, and I’ll tailor our sessions to match your unique aspirations.

Total Wellness:

For me, health is comprehensive. Physical wellness isn’t an afterthought—it’s intertwined with mental well-being. Drawing from my nutrition certification, I emphasize the importance of a balanced life that includes regular physical activity, a crucial ingredient for mental resilience.

Beyond The Credentials:

When I’m not working, I keep busy. I lift weights to maintain strength in both mind and body and find solace in painting—a different form of therapy for me. I adore game nights, am ruled by my dogs, and have a penchant for travel, always eager to dive into diverse cultures and flavors. These experiences enrich not just my personal life but also influence my professional outlook.

If you’re seeking a therapist who offers unfiltered insights, imparts valuable truths, and encourages holistic growth, you’re in the right space.
