Psychotherapy & wellness for girls and women
Culturally responsive care created with Black and Brown girls and women in mind—serving clients across Washington.
Who we are
BRWN. is a culturally responsive psychotherapy and wellness practice created with Black and Brown girls and women in mind.
Clients can show up without performing, minimizing, overexplaining, or carrying everything alone. Through authentic connection, cultural understanding, emotional safety, and evidence-informed care, we create room for girls to discover who they are becoming and for women to reconnect with themselves.
Here, softness is allowed.Your voice matters.Your story has room.
Who we serve
Our practice centers Black and Brown girls and women while welcoming clients beyond any one racial or ethnic identity when BRWN. is an appropriate fit.
Space to understand emotions, strengthen confidence, develop healthy coping skills, and navigate school with greater confidence.
School-based groups: BRWN. is exploring school partnerships for adolescent groups. A school-based option would be planned with each school, including referral, family consent, privacy, schedule, and funding arrangements.
Support while navigating identity, relationships, boundaries, school, work, independence, and the transition into adulthood.
Care for the woman underneath the many roles she carries—mother, daughter, partner, professional, caregiver, friend, and advocate.

Ways we can work together
Care is individualized to each client’s needs, developmental stage, goals, experiences, and clinical presentation.
Personalized one-to-one care shaped around each client’s experiences, goals, developmental stage, and clinical needs.
Practical, supportive guidance to help caregivers better understand behavior, strengthen communication, and respond to family challenges with intention.
Biopsychosocial and clinical intake assessments that build a fuller picture of strengths, concerns, relationships, environment, and goals to guide treatment planning.
Small, affirming therapy groups for girls and women to connect, feel understood, and build skills together. Each group will be organized for its age range; adolescents, young adults, and adult women will meet in separate groups.
Planned as virtual meetings every other week. The start date, day, and time will be set after interest and group arrangements are confirmed.
Now gathering interest
Share your interest for the group age range that fits. Interest is nonbinding and does not reserve a place. Groups will be scheduled after screening, clinical-supervision review, and group arrangements are confirmed.
Use the secure SimplePractice contact form. In your message, write “I Just Need My Girls” and the age range you’re asking about. For adolescents, a parent or guardian should submit the inquiry and mention whether a school-based option is of interest. Please don’t include private clinical details.
Express group interestFaith-based support
For clients who desire it, faith and spirituality can be thoughtfully integrated into therapy in a way that honors your beliefs, values, and personal healing journey.
How we practice
Effective therapy involves more than techniques. Change can take root within relationships shaped by consistency, authenticity, safety, curiosity, and trust. Our work is collaborative and evidence-informed.
“Healing does not require you to become someone else. It can begin by returning to yourself with greater understanding.
What brave means here
You do not have to prove how much you can endure.
Sometimes brave looks like asking for help.
Sometimes brave looks like trusting yourself and speaking honestly.
Sometimes brave looks like setting a boundary—or saying, “I’m not okay.”
Sometimes brave looks like navigating postpartum life when motherhood feels different than you imagined.
Sometimes brave looks like leaving, starting over, resting, or rediscovering yourself.
And sometimes brave simply looks like walking into therapy and deciding that something deserves to change.
