Ms. Brewer has clinical experience in a range of different settings and with varied populations, including a treatment center for autism and neurodevelopmental disorders, a university counseling center, and a residential treatment facility for adolescents. She integrates techniques and approaches, mainly drawing from Emotion-Focused Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. She often utilizes strengths-based and mindfulness-based approaches.

Ms. Brewer believes in creating a safe and affirming space to process your experiences while developing a sense of empowerment and hope. Ms. Brewer believes that different stages of life come with different needs, and that self-improvement is a lifelong process. She says “I truly believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship. Having a neutral person with an outside perspective who meets you where you’re at can be such a powerful thing.”
