Steven Brown

Dr. Steven Brown is a highly regarded clinical psychologist with over 25 years of experience specializing in a broad spectrum of mental health concerns, including trauma, anxiety, depression, identity issues, grief and loss, and relationship difficulties. With a focus on adult clients, Dr. Brown operates a small, one-day practice, emphasizing that true healing often occurs within the safe and collaborative environment of a therapeutic relationship. He believes that while various techniques can be effective, they must be grounded in a strong and trusting working relationship to truly make an impact. Dr. Brown's approach is deeply rooted in psychodynamic and family systems orientations, yet he also integrates practical techniques such as mindfulness, Somatic Experiencing (SE), relaxation training, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and parent training to enhance his clients' healing journeys. His areas of expertise include psychological trauma, problematic sexual behavior, and the unique challenges faced by boys and men. Beyond his private practice, Dr. Brown serves as the Director of the Traumatic Stress Institute of Klingberg Family Centers in New Britain, CT, and is an esteemed faculty member in the Risking Connection Training Program, an international initiative aimed at equipping public mental health workers with trauma-informed care strategies.
