Meet Micah Brown, LMFT
Hi, I’m Micah.
I've always been the person people come to — the listener, the one who helps people see things clearly and figure out what to do next. Eventually I turned that into a career, because I believe everyone deserves to be witnessed.
I think of myself as a disruptor of cycles. A lot of my work is helping clients notice the patterns that keep them stuck — in their relationships, in their self-talk, in the stories they've been told about who they're allowed to be — and helping them find a new way forward.
Being invited into someone's life at this level, in the good moments and the hard ones, isn't something I take lightly. Your lived experience matters, and I’m here to listen and provide help where I can.
In my free time, I enjoy reading, running, and video games. My partner and I enjoy a cozy life in Indianapolis with our three dogs: Ember, Ziggy, and Zelda.
A Sneak Peak of What It’s Like to Work with Micah
Equip Clients with Tools
I'm not a "just nod and listen" therapist. I want you to leave every session with something practical — a tool, a shift in perspective, a next step.
Speak Honestly
I'm gentle, but I'll call you out when it matters. I'll be insightful and direct, because real growth usually requires someone willing to tell you the truth.
Sit With You in Discomfort
I work best with people who are ready to sit with discomfort in order to change. A healthy, happy life isn’t about avoiding discomfort.
Credentials & Trainings
-
A Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) is a mental health professional trained to understand how relationships, family systems, and life experiences shape emotional well-being. While LMFTs often work with couples and families, they also work with individuals, helping clients navigate communication, identity, conflict, life transitions, anxiety, trauma, and other mental health concerns through a relational lens.
-
The Gottman Method is a research-based approach to couples therapy developed from decades of studying what helps relationships thrive. It focuses on strengthening communication, managing conflict, rebuilding trust, increasing friendship and intimacy, and creating healthier patterns of connection. Level 2 training builds on the foundational principles of the method and equips therapists with additional interventions for supporting couples through a wide range of relationship challenges.
-
Brainspotting is a trauma-informed therapeutic approach designed to help people process difficult emotions, traumatic experiences, and deeply held patterns that may be difficult to access through conversation alone. It uses eye position and focused awareness to support the brain's natural ability to process and heal unresolved experiences. Level 1 training provides therapists with foundational skills for integrating Brainspotting into therapy when it aligns with a client's goals.
A Note on Identity & Allyship
I'm a cisgender, heterosexual man, and I've built my practice around serving people whose identities and relationships don't always get space in traditional therapy — including LGBTQ+ folks, people of color, people who are kink-identified, and people practicing non-monogamy. I've served as Treasurer for the Queer and Trans Advocacy Network since January 2020.
A large portion of the people I work with in my practice identify as queer or trans. Nearly 39% of the folks I’ve worked with from 2024 to 2026 identify as LGBTQ+. I ask myself regularly how I can keep showing up well for the people I work with — and I mean it when I say you shouldn't have to educate me on your own identity or lived experience.
If you want to talk more about this before booking, I'm happy to discuss it in a free consultation or over email.
