About
As someone who grew up in the field of mental health, I have come to appreciate the therapeutic value of allowing others to express themselves without reservation as well as affording them the respect and dignity they duly deserve.
My name is Elliott Brown, and I am a licensed professional counselor with over 24 years of experience. I enjoy working with adults and children who have a host of issues to unpack: anxiety, depression, trauma, divorce, relationship troubles, work headaches, grieving, and getting older, to name a few. When explaining the process of therapy to clients, I often use the "puzzle analogy": a) you dump the pieces out on the table, b) I help you look for the edges and other patterns, and c) you develop a clearer picture about how the rest of the puzzle needs to be solved.
My approach aims to provide you with a sense of relief in expressing often unpleasant thoughts and feelings, while also helping you recognize the themes embedded within these expressions. In doing so, you may develop a greater awareness of the world around you and, as a consequence, become more resilient in the face of adversity.
Please let me know how I can be of help to you. Life's problems aren't something we have to tackle alone. Therapy doesn't have to look a certain way; sessions can be a time to unwind and talk about whatever you see fit. Above all, I hope that you will leave therapy a more insightful and happier person.

With over 30 years of experience in mental health, I believe healing begins when people feel heard, supported, and empowered to move forward through life’s challenges.
I am a licensed professional counselor with over 30 years of experience in the mental health field. I work with adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and everyday stress. Many of my clients are seeking clarity, emotional balance, and healthier ways to cope with life’s challenges. I also have experience supporting individuals from underserved communities and those navigating difficult life circumstances. My goal is to provide a supportive space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to move forward.
My approach is compassionate, practical, and client-centered. I integrate evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral and solution-focused strategies to help clients identify patterns, strengthen coping skills, and create realistic goals. Clients can expect a supportive space focused on growth, resilience, and meaningful change.
Reaching out for support can be one of the most important steps toward change. You do not have to face life’s challenges alone. I strive to create a safe and supportive space where you can feel heard, gain clarity, and move forward with confidence. When you are ready, I welcome the opportunity to support you on your journey.

For over 25 years, I have had the privilege of walking alongside adults as they navigate the most challenging chapters of their lives, with my approach deeply rooted in the belief that no one is defined by their diagnosis.
My name is Mary Harbin, and I am a licensed clinical social worker in the states of Mississippi and Alabama. I work with adults (18+) who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and mood instability issues.
I specialize in CBT, EMDR, DBT, crisis intervention, trauma, and grief therapy techniques. My approach is collaborative and client-centered, blending evidence-based methods with a warm, nonjudgmental space to help you build skills, regain balance, and move toward your goals.
My goal is to provide a space where you feel genuinely seen and energized. You have been resilient for so long on your own; let’s shift the focus from simply ‘getting by’ to creating a life that feels hopeful and truly yours. I’d love to hear your story.

At Thriveworks, Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) primarily concentrates on assisting individuals in emotion regulation, enhancing interpersonal relationships, and acquiring effective coping strategies for managing stress and emotional difficulties.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) targets your personal challenges. You may work with your DBT therapist to maintain diary cards to monitor progress, emphasizing validation and support in the therapeutic relationship. DBT follows a stage-based approach, prioritizing crisis reduction initially and life satisfaction.
DBT was initially developed to address the needs of individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD). However, its versatile approach has enabled its application to a wide range of mental health conditions, including but not limited to, anxiety, depression, stress, and anger issues.
The 4 pillars of DBT are mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) have distinct purposes and aren’t inherently superior or inferior to one another. DBT is most effective for managing emotional regulation, personality disorders, and interpersonal challenges, while EMDR is specifically tailored for individuals with trauma-related conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) with therapists at Thriveworks in Jackson, MS is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The duration of a standard DBT program is typically around 24 weeks, which is roughly six months. The actual number of sessions will vary depending on the issues you wish to address.
Includes individual, couples, child/ teen, & family therapy
Includes reducing symptoms with medication & management
