Renee Brown

I am a USA trained mental health clinician, having received a Master's degree from the University of Texas-Austin in 2008. During my 17 years in the mental health field, I have worked in a variety of settings, including a domestic violence shelter, schools, with asylum seekers, and private practice. I am registered with the Onafhankelijk Therapeuten Register (Independent Therapist Register) by the Nederlandse Federatie Gezondheidszorg (Dutch Healthcare Federation). In my current private practice, I focus on helping adults to recover from traumatic events and manage Anxiety. My approach is based on the mind-body connection and rooted in the belief that we all have the innate capacity to heal ourselves. I meet my clients where they are and use an integrative approach, drawing from a variety of therapeutic models such as CBT, Mindfulness, and Somatic Awareness. I have extensive experience helping clients recover from the effects of traumatic events and am certified in EMDR, a research based treatment for PTSD. I have a special interest in working with pregnant and postpartum individuals and completed training with Postpartum Support International and advanced training on using EMDR to address birth trauma and other perinatal concerns. As an immigrant myself, I am passionate about supporting immigrants and expats with their unique mental health needs. Having previously studied and worked abroad in France, Mexico, and Chile, I am no stranger to the loneliness, isolation, and identity shifts that can come with living abroad. I enjoy helping other immigrants and expats to find their confidence and identity in a new environment.
