The Approach

Hey there! I am Dr. Gillian O Shea Brown, author of Healing Complex Posttraumatic Stress Disorder. I am a complex trauma psychotherapist and adjunct professor of Trauma at NYU.

Whether you are a survivor of trauma, clinician or a supportive family member I am here to guide you in understanding, treating and healing from the wounds of complex trauma. This space is about psychoeducation, self-empowerment and healing.

By healing I mean facilitating the compassionate witnessing of the self so that you can see beyond the wounds to who you truly are in the world! In the words of Rumi - “The wound is the place where the light enters you”. Akin to Rumi’s ancient wisdom as counterintuitive as it may sound from tragedy and trauma can come opportunity. The loss of stability and security allows room for growth, adaptation and evolution. Trauma creates a need for growth to aid survival and with this develops a greater capacity to find positive meaning in the face of adversity. To facilitate the journey of turning wounds into wisdom I use a personalized blend of integrative mind body approaches including EMDR, IFS, TF-CBT, Yoga and Somatic Techniques.

Furthermore, my doctoral research at NYU has enriched my understanding of attachment injury acquired through adverse childhood events and the treatment of complex layered trauma in adulthood. Clients are guided in a journey of self-exploration with a focus on achieving positive and meaningful change in their lives.

I help clients realize not only their goals but their potential to live life more fully. Clients are encouraged to gain a better understanding of their subconscious drives and motives. Ultimately, we work together in striving to enhance self-awareness and to promote both self-exploration and personal growth.
