About
Dr. Brown earned her Bachelors Degree from Reed College, her M.S., M. Phil. and Ph.D. from Yale University, her M.D. from University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, and completed her medical training (internship, residency, and Biological Scientist Training Program Fellowship) at the Yale University School of Medicine. She is a diplomate of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology.
Following her training, Dr. Brown spent nearly a decade as Director of the Psychopharmacology Clinic, Department of Psychiatry, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, where she remains on the clinical faculty. She is a sought after speaker who has made numerous presentations about the psychopharmacology of mood and anxiety disorders, the role of serotonin in suicide and violence, and differential diagnosis of psychiatric disorders.
Currently, Dr. Brown maintains two offices in Connecticut, one in Milford and the other in Westport. Closely affiliated with the medical community, she also works collaboratively with individual non-M.D. psychotherapists in treating patients. A significant component of her practice also involves providing diagnostic evaluations and second opinion assessments. She has considerable experience with developing effective medication/treatment regimens for treatment-refractory patients living in the tri-state area and beyond.
Her areas of specialization include: Mood Disorders (Depression, Bipolar Disorder); Anxiety Disorders (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Panic Disorder, Trauma); Eating Disorders (Anorexia, Bulimia); Substance Use/Abuse/Dual Diagnosis Disorders; Attention Deficit Disorders. She also works closely with other physicians (internists, neurologists, cardiologists, gastroenterologists, dermatologists, gynecologists, etc.) in the treatment of multisystem sequelae of psychiatric disorders such as sleep disorders, migraine, gastroenterological distress, chronic rash, pelvic pain, chronic neuropathic pain, and other concerns.
Since 2013, Dr. Brown has been actively involved in providing transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) as another choice for her patients with treatment-refractory depression, and in educating and making available information to the medical community about the great efficacy of this new treatment modality. Currently, Advanced TMS and Biobehavioral Centers of Southern CT is one of the busiest and most successful TMS programs in the country
