Rebecca Brown

Rebecca Brown is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in the treatment of children and adolescents. She meets each child and family with compassion and patience and focuses on their strengths and resilience. Her approach led her to identify that children are little people with their own internal world and have needs and feelings which need to be explored and understood. Rebecca focuses on building a strong therapeutic relationship and utilizes play therapy, art therapy, mindfulness, and interventions from evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).

She is currently the Outreach and Prevention Social Worker for the JF&CS Shalom Bayit program, in addition to providing therapeutic services to children. In this role, she provides education and programming to the Jewish community surrounding topics such as domestic violence and healthy relationships for teens. Rebecca believes in the importance of community outreach as a means to foster social change and educate future generations.

Rebecca has a master’s in social work from New York University and has previously worked as a child and family therapist in the child welfare system of San Francisco, a facilitator of groups for program evaluation and adults in outpatient mental health.
