Professional statement

Rande Brown is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Greenwich Village, New York specializing in anxiety, depression, borderline personality disorders, trauma, panic disorders, identity challenges, and spirituality. Trained in both Eastern and Western psychology, she has deep expertise in exploring spiritual health, matters of existence, and the human mind. Having worked and trained at a traumatic brain injury clinic, she is also highly skilled in supporting individuals with personality disorders.

Rande takes a psychoanalytic/psychodynamic approach to therapy, working closely with her clients to help them recognize self-defeating patterns, overcome limitations, and gain better understanding of the self. At the heart of her practice is focus on mindfulness and bringing clients’ awareness into the present.

Rande is excited to welcome adults into her practice for individual therapy. She places great value on the connection between therapist and client, and offers a complimentary introductory session in order to ensure a great fit. Rande's office is located a short walk from the Christopher Street and West 4th Street subway stations.


Message to clients

Schooled in both Eastern and Western psychology, I bring a contemplative, fluid perspective to the exploration of the human mind and the alleviation of suffering. Using a psychoanalytic, interpersonal approach, I enjoy working at the edges of deep experience – in the openness between awareness and dissociation, past and present, individuation and interrelatedness – to help my clients increase their capacity to tolerate ambiguity and ambivalence, to make meaning from experience, and to expand their understanding of self. Together we find pathways that lead beyond old limitations and engraved patterns of being towards a life of greater freedom and ease.
I am strong but gentle, and able to comfortably contain a high degree of distress.
