Hello,
I'm Sunny.

When you step into the sanctuary of An Integrated Self, you're not just meeting a licensed professional counselor; you're meeting someone who understands the depths of the emotional and psychological challenges you might be facing. Sunny Brown, our founding therapist, has her own transformative story that informs her empathetic and effective approach to counseling.

​

In her early 20s, Sunny experienced her first panic attack while dining in a restaurant in Boulder, Colorado. What started as an isolated, terrifying episode spiraled into a lifestyle-altering condition that forced her to quit her job, drop out of classes, and become reclusive. For six agonizing months, she was trapped in her apartment, grappling with severe anxiety that seemed to envelop every aspect of her life.

​

But Sunny knew she couldn't let this be her reality forever. Committed to understanding her condition, she talked openly with family members and discovered a hereditary predisposition to anxiety. She began researching, collecting tools, and slowly making lifestyle changes that helped her manage her symptoms.

​

Eventually, Sunny ventured abroad to complete her degree in Cultural Anthropology in Costa Rica, where her candid discussions about her experience led her to realize that she wasn't alone—many people were silently suffering from anxiety. This revelation ignited a passion within her to speak openly about mental health, specifically anxiety, and to seek ways to help others.

​

Today, Sunny brings a wealth of personal experience and professional expertise to her practice. Her story isn't just an inspirational account; it's a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of self-awareness and healing.

​

If you're battling anxiety, trauma, or other emotional challenges, you couldn't be in better hands. Sunny has walked the path you're on and has emerged with the knowledge, tools, and compassion to guide you toward your own integrated self.

Your journey to wellness could very well start here, guided by someone who has navigated the labyrinth of anxiety and come out stronger on the other side. Contact us today to embark on your own transformative journey.
