About Carla Brown (She/Her)

Carla Brown, LMSW, ACSW, at LifeStance Health, helps adults and seniors across Michigan find healing, balance, and purpose through compassionate and evidence-based therapy. She works with individuals navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder. Carla integrates Humanistic Psychology, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness-based approaches to help clients build insight, emotional regulation, and lasting resilience. Carla has extensive experience supporting clients through major life transitions, including midlife and later-life changes, and adjustment to medical or health-related challenges. She offers a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients can process difficult emotions, develop practical coping strategies, and rediscover meaning in their lives. Whether addressing stress, trauma, or the complexities of personal relationships, Carla’s approach is centered on helping clients strengthen their sense of agency and connection. She is also deeply committed to serving diverse populations, including women, military and veteran clients, individuals with experiences in adoption and foster care. Her broad clinical background allows her to understand the unique intersections of identity, environment, and emotional well-being that shape each client’s experience. Outside of her professional work, Carla finds joy in sunshine, music, dancing, photography, writing, reading, and exercising—activities that reflect her belief in the restorative power of creativity and movement.

Carla is an absolute pleasure to work with. I experienced my worst nightmare in losing my mother and she helped me cope with that loss which I never thought I would be able to. Can we clone Carla to make 100 more of her?!? The world would be a better place 😊
