Meet Kara Brown

Dr. Brown earned her Ed.D. in Clinical Sport Psychology from Boston University and her Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Boston College. She is a former Postdoctoral Fellow at Boston College, where she completed a fellowship in college student development, focusing on the integration of psychodynamic theory (dynamic short-term model) as it relates to university and collegiate student populations. Dr. Brown completed a second doctorate in psychoanalysis from The Massachusetts Institute for Psychoanalysis. She completed the 4-year training program there which is modeled after a comparative approach.

Dr. Brown’s approach is informed by a deep appreciation for attachment theory and relational contributions. Her collaborative style of therapy provides a warm, nurturing professional environment for individuals who feel stuck in their current lives or struggle to find greater meaning.
