Tyeshia Brown

My name is Tyeshia Brown and I am attending John F. Kennedy University and completing a Counseling in Psychology/PsyD dual degree. I am currently a MFT trainee at Earth Circles Counseling Center. I’ve worked in a TK-12 school setting for the last 13 years, specifically with high school students. In addition to my non-academic role, I have been involved in diversity work for the past five years and am now the TK-12 Diversity Coordinator.

I value and use my knowledge of cultural competence and the understanding of cultural diversity and cultural sensitivity in my work. My goal is to give individuals a space to safely process, heal, and work through the challenges that life brings, without judgement. I understand that there are many aspects in one’s life that can play a role in your whole self. Some of which include mental and physical health, your home, work, and/or school environment, as well as your spirituality and/or beliefs, and your support systems.

I believe that we are the experts in our own lives, so I like to work from a collaborative approach in assisting, supporting, and guiding individuals to build on their existing strengths, to have meaningful relationships with the self and others, and to live their best possible life.
