Psychotherapy for Adults

Offering Virtual Sessions

Welcome.

Thank you for visiting my website. I appreciate how difficult it is to seek therapy and ask for help. I have a deep respect for the healing power of talk therapy and faith in the process. These pages explain my approach and how we might work together.

I’m Mona Browne, a psychotherapist in private practice. I am a licensed mental health counselor, national certified counselor and certified dietitian/nutritionist. I received a Master of Arts degree in Counseling for Mental Health and Wellness from New York University. I completed additional post-graduate training in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy at the Contemporary Freudian Society and in Eating Disorders, Addictions and Compulsions at the William Alanson White Insitute. I also completed specialized training in Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADs) and Fertility Counseling.

My Approach

People come to therapy for many reasons. Some are in crisis. Others feel stuck, overwhelmed or want help with a specific problem. Therapy encourages introspection, personal growth and opens up new life possibilities.

I believe the past lives on in the present. Our earliest life experiences and important relationships provide a model for how the world works. Many times, we continue to apply old patterns and behaviors to new situations, even when they no longer work or cause great pain. It’s natural to keep doing what we know. Working together in an atmosphere of safety and trust, psychotherapy offers the chance to explore, understand and change your life.
