Dr. Brown graduated Summa Cum Laude from the Honors College at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. 

She earned a Master's in Counseling and a Ph.D. in Clinical, Counseling, and School Psychology from the University of California, Santa Barbara. She has lectured nationally and published research on various topics in child development. She has received specialized training in neuropsychological, psychological, and forensic assessment while working with many leaders in the fields of psychology and psychiatry.

 

Dr. Brown has helped children and their families in a wide range of settings, including public and private schools, juvenile detention centers, outpatient and inpatient treatment units, including the NYU Child Study Center, and private practice. Developing an expertise in diagnosing and treating ADHD while training closely with Dr. Edward Hallowell at the Hallowell Center, New York City, has been a career highlight. Learning to understand neurodevelopmental differences within his always-optimistic, strength-based approach has led her to become the neuroaffirming practitioner she is today.

 

Dr. Brown is licensed in New York and New Jersey, and while the majority of her work is in New Jersey, she maintains a small practice in NYC. She has served as an adjunct faculty member and supervised graduate students at NYU School of Social Work, Yeshiva University, Columbia University, Fairleigh Dickinson University, and Fordham University. She continues to supervise pre- and postdoctoral therapists toward licensure. 

 

Dr. Brown has been practicing for over a decade and conducts neuropsychological and psychological evaluations for children, adolescents, and college students. She also maintains a caseload of patients with whom she works therapeutically to build coping strategies, improve skills, and process emotions from a developmental and relational perspective. She always involves parents in her sessions with children so that the skills can generalize to everyday life. Most importantly, Dr. Brown believes that positive connection is pivotal for any change, and each child and individual is treated as the unique being they are! 

​

While her formal training and professional experience have provided the necessary foundation for her work as a competent psychologist, she draws upon her life experience as a mother of three beautiful young children when working with her patients. When she is not working with your children, she can be found on the sidelines cheering for her own kids as they play soccer, lacrosse, baseball, basketball, and competitive dance. As a former athlete and passion for youth competitive sports, Dr. Brown is expanding her training with a focus on sport psychology.
