Dr. Kerene Brown, DSW, LCSW, ACSW

I am a Doctor of Social Work and Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 5 years of experience in clinical mental health based in Metro Atlanta. The settings I have worked in includes; acute inpatient, outpatient, community-based care where I provided mental health evaluations, group/family and individual counseling and case management services. I have experience working with a litany of mental health diagnosis: PTSD, trauma, depression/suicidality, anxiety, bipolar, compulsive disorders, personality disorders, and psychosis. The populations that I have serviced includes: Individuals with mild intellectual/developmental disabilities, veterans, members of the LGBTQIA community and multicultural individuals. I have also worked as a mobile assessor for multiple hospitals providing mental health assessments and crisis intervention in their emergency room. As a therapist I am a proponent of prioritizing the client's mental health and overall well-being. I utilize an eclectic approach which will be tailored to their specific needs using strengths-based, trauma-informed care, person-in-environment, multicultural, integrative and holistic approach. The treatment modalities which underpin my practice are evidence-based and include, cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, existential therapy, motivational interviewing, mindfulness, and psychodynamic psychotherapy.
