“For years, I tried to change myself to fit into a world that felt confusing, inconsistent, and overwhelming. When I realized that this approach caused me great pain and mental health challenges, I decided that it made more sense to do the work to accept myself and to change the world instead! I share the experience through my work with patients, my writing, and speaking opportunities to empower others. Helping patients to find their path through developing healthy habits, enhanced relationships, improvements in perspective, body image acceptance, and healing self-explorations is key to the Brownstone experience”– Dr. Deborah Brown
