WELCOME. I’M DAVID BROWN.
I’M A DEPTH PSYCHOTHERAPIST BASED IN SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA.
In my practice, I work with individual adults, couples and families to dive beneath the surface-level issues to discover the underlying causes of distress. This journey into the depths can increase our self-awareness, help us find our best answers to life-changing questions, and guide us to a more enjoyable life. Much of my work involves men and women who are feeling stuck in their lives, or are in the grips of anxiety, depression, addiction, or relationship challenges. I also enjoy working closely with people who are experiencing challenges related to men’s issues, trauma, life transitions, spiritual development, and the LGBTQ community. My life and work are guided by my extensive travels and immersion in the wisdom traditions of Asia and the indigenous ways of the Americas. I also continually invest in my own process of self-discovery and growth through therapy, while undertaking advanced training to deepen my understanding of topics such as Jungian Psychology, psychoanalysis, trauma and the soul, psychedelic psychotherapy and spirituality.

Throughout my career as a psychotherapist, I’ve been privileged to work in a variety of mental health settings, from clinics to hospitals, private practices to public schools. In each of these experiences, I’ve gained valuable experience that informs my work.
