Welcome to Saine Haven: Your mind's place to rest.
Compassionate counseling and EMDR therapy for individuals, couples and families 18+
My Specialties: Women, Couples/Families, and EMDR Therapy
Women
You deserve a space where you can be seen, heard, and supported without judgment. My practice is a safe, affirming place for women ready to heal, grow, and reconnect with themselves. If you're seeking clarity, peace, or a deeper sense of self—you're in the right place.
Couples/Families
Therapy offers couples and families a space to improve communication, rebuild trust, and navigate conflict with compassion. Whether you're facing a crisis or simply feeling disconnected, therapy can help you understand each other more deeply, break unhealthy patterns, and strengthen your bond. Healing is possible—together.
EMDR/Trauma Psychotherapy
Through EMDR therapy, I'll help you process trauma, anxiety, and painful memories in a safe, effective way—without reliving the past. In my practice, I offer compassionate, trauma-informed care to help you heal at the root. If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, EMDR can help you move forward with clarity and peace.
Hi, I am Ebonie Brown, LCSW
I bring a grounded, compassionate, and real life approach to therapy. My strength lies in creating a space where clients feel safe being fully honest—often for the first time. I don’t just listen passively; I engage, ask meaningful questions, and help clients cut through the noise to see what’s really going on.
My goal is not to “fix” people, but to empower them to understand themselves and make choices that align with their values.
I’m deeply attuned to nuance—emotional, cultural, and situational. I recognize that no two clients are alike, and I tailor my approach accordingly. Whether someone is battling anxiety, processing trauma, navigating a major life change, or just feeling stuck, I offer tools and insights that are both practical and grounded in evidence-based practice.
Above all, I show up. Consistently. Authentically. Clients can trust that I offer EMDR Therapy in a style that is present and invested in their growth. I hold their stories with care, and I never take their trust for granted.
What is EMDR?
EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. It’s a type of therapy that helps people heal from trauma and distressing life experiences. If something painful from your past still feels very present—like it gets triggered easily, shows up in your body, or keeps looping in your mind—EMDR can help you process it in a way that actually sticks.
Here’s how it works: We identify a memory or experience that’s still affecting you. Then, while you think about it, we use a tool called bilateral stimulation—usually eye movements, tapping, or sound that goes back and forth from left to right. This isn’t hypnosis, and you’re always in control. What the bilateral stimulation does is help your brain reprocess the memory—so instead of feeling stuck in it, you start to see it in a more grounded, less distressing way.
The goal isn’t to forget what happened. It’s to change the way it lives in your nervous system. After EMDR Therapy, many people find that the memory no longer triggers the same emotional or physical reaction. You’ll still remember it, but it won’t feel like it’s running the show anymore.
EMDR is evidence-based, meaning research supports its effectiveness—especially for trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and more. It can move things forward in a way that talk therapy alone sometimes doesn’t.
We’ll always go at your pace, with safety and trust as the priority. If you’re curious or unsure, that’s okay. We’ll talk it through, and I’ll guide you step by step.
Testimonials
"I’ve tried therapy many times in the past but working with Ebonie at Saine Haven is different. For the first time, I felt truly seen and heard. EMDR helped me unpack things I didn’t even realize I was still carrying, and the space Ebonie holds is so safe and calming. I’ve learned how to set boundaries, how to be gentle with myself and most importantly how to understand and love who I really am. I highly recommend Saine Haven to my friends and family and have encouraged them to contact Ebonie as well."
"Therapy at Saine Haven has been life changing. I use to move through the world on autopilot and constantly putting others first, ignoring my own needs. Through our sessions, I have learned how to slow down, listen to myself and unlearn the patterns that were keeping me stuck. I never realized how much peace was possible until I gave myself permission to heal. This is not just therapy for me, it’s transformation in the most compassionate space. I highly recommend Saine Haven Counseling to anyone.”
"Therapy at Saine Haven felt like a deep exhale I didn’t know I needed. Every session was like sitting on a cozy porch with someone who really gets you-no judgement, just truth, sincerity and real growth. I’ve laughed, cried and released so much in our sessions. I came in feeling overwhelmed and left feeling more life myself. If you’re even thinking about therapy..this is your sign. Go, heal and thrive."
