Goals
The goals of counseling are as unique as each client who enters the door. I want clients to know that I will always provide an accepting environment free of judgement. I celebrate those who have the courage to live their best life and reach out for a better way of navigating the journey.
Building a strong counselor-client alliance enables me to understand your world so that we can meet your long-term goals. These goals can include working to fulfill one's potential, developing healthy coping skills, improving decision-making, and improving relationships. Goals that are more complex can include acceptance of self and others, setting boundaries, and working through crisis or grief.
Testimonial
”I have known Les Brown for many, many years. I first met him as a professor when he was a student at Missouri State University in the counseling graduate program. Through the years we have continued to be friends and colleagues. I have referred many of my friends and relatives to Les when they needed therapy and asked who I would recommend. Without fail, all who I have referred to Les have been absolutely satisfied and appreciative of his knowledge, manner, and support. I am very grateful that Les is a therapist in our community and available for referrals. Don’t hesitate to contact Les for your mental health needs.” —Dr. Marci Dowdy
