Brown Ann M

Ann Marie Brown is a powerful woman/therapist. She is extremely truthful and tells you exactly as she sees it, no holding back. Not to be frightened though, she does it in the most noursihing way. Ann Marie's insight has lead me to see other possibilities in my life. I am mainly working on changing jobs, allowing me to find out what I like more as a woman and not blaming my boyfriend all the time for my own emptiness. It is however, up to myself to take these steps and make it happen. Ann Marie is extremely committed to her patients and their growth and development. Other perks are: the office is so homey, and her fiery spirit is awesome to be around. I always ""get something out of each session"". \r THANK YOU Ann Marie for your generosity and compassion. \r more

I've gotten my life back on track thanks to Ms. Brown. I was depressed, in a bad marriage, struggling with issues with my mother, and really needed some help. She has made the difference. She also helped me with my insomnia through hypnosis. I highly recommend her services. Pros: nice neighborhood, close to subway station more

Anne-Marie of Body-Mind Therapy saved my life. \r \r Okay, that's a bit strong but she did enable me to get my life back together and also to start to understand that life isn't a series of set-backs but rather an opportunity to spot ways forward where you might not expect to find them.\r \r I have found Anne-Marie to be empathetic and supportive. Body-Mind Therapy isn't one of those chrome, glass and leather psycho-babble practises. It cares enough to give your life back to you ...\r \r Thankyou. Pros: Human ... more

What I love most about Ann-Marie is that she shares her own life and those of people she knows, making the session more real and not allowing me to not spiral down in my own problems. The last session we had, I was particularly depressed, and we talked about some touchy subjects towards the end. She made sure that I left with a reminder of how good my life is, making me recall the positive aspects. At first I was frustrated that she talked more than other therapists, but now I see that I'm more comfortable revealing information about my life to her than I would be otherwise. She normalizes trauma in a way that makes me feel like I'm not going crazy, and gives me hope for recovery. I highly recommend her unorthodox ways--she has even hypnotized me, which, despite my trepidations, was extremely relaxing and productive. She's great. more

The worth of any psychiatrist or psychotherapist is determined by how much she helps her patients. I?ve been seeing Ann-Marie Brown for nine months, and she has helped me tremendously. She has helped me solve problems I was aware of before I started seeing her as well as problems I did not know I had. Under Ann-Marie?s guidance, I have discovered -- and begun to unravel -- the tangle of unconscious forces behind my most complex, enduring psychological issues. \r \r It?s worth noting that Ann-Marie doesn?t believe in the popular ?blank-screen? approach to psychotherapy where the therapist hides her own personality and her own past psychological challenges (now resolved) from the patient. Instead, Ann-Marie shares stories from her own life so as to help the patient understand things better and accept that certain psychological challenges are not uncommon. Her approach is more honest and more effective. \r \r While Ann-Marie may talk more than some therapists, she certainly gives patients sufficient time to speak. Generosity is another of her traits -- she makes bottled water available to patients and loans them books that can help them face down their problems. She?s also very flexible, tailoring her methods to each patient.\r \r I give Ann-Marie Brown my highest recommendation. Pros: Countless more

I began seeing AMB (Body-Mind Therapy) soon after 9/11 when my nerves were shot to bits and have been going ever since. Looking back, I can see much concrete progress in my personal, romantic, financial, professional, stressed-out, NYC life. Everyone benefits from the ability to discuss, with a true professional, pertinent matters, large and small (and to help distinguish between the two!)... I am one of the lucky New Yorkers with a down-to-earth, cultured, thoughtful, honest, and understanding therapist - I recommend her without the slightest reservation. Pros: let me count the ways Cons: none that I can see more
