About

With a career spanning half a century, Caree Brown, LCSW, stands as a beacon of wisdom and experience in the field of psychotherapy. Her approach to healing is as unique as her name, which was creatively crafted by her Cornell roommates from her original name, Carole-Lee.

Caree's expertise encompasses a wide range of therapeutic services, including individual therapy, couples counseling, and family therapy. She has honed her skills in treating depression and anxiety, relationship issues, and family dynamics. Her advanced diploma in Couple and Family Therapy from the Institute of Family Psychiatry in Montreal, Canada, underscores her specialized knowledge in these areas.

Throughout her illustrious career, Caree has garnered numerous accolades that speak to her exceptional abilities. She was voted "Best of the Bay Psychotherapist 2010" and awarded "Best Therapist in Northern California 2011" by KRON Channel 4 Television. The city of Walnut Creek has consistently recognized her excellence, honoring her as "Best Psychotherapist in Walnut Creek" for multiple years, including 2013, 2014, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022.

Caree's therapeutic style is characterized by its warmth, creativity, and down-to-earth nature. She employs an eclectic, collaborative approach that may include mindfulness, solution-focused, cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, and psychoanalytic techniques. Her interventions are never formulaic, always tailored to the unique needs of each client. Caree believes in the power of inspiring people and their relationships to stretch beyond themselves, often achieving results faster than clients initially expect.

With a background that includes publishing articles, teaching classes, leading groups, and running workshops, Caree has not only helped countless individuals and families but has also contributed to the professional development of other medical professionals in Montreal, New Jersey, and the Bay Area. Her commitment to excellence extends beyond her practice to her ongoing professional growth, ensuring that her clients receive the most current and effective care possible.

Caree Brown's approach to therapy is a testament to her belief in the transformative power of understanding and growth. As she often quotes Einstein, "Most problems cannot be solved at the same level of thinking as when they were created." This philosophy guides her work, encouraging clients to explore new perspectives and solutions in their journey towards healing and self-discovery.
