You learned how to survive. Therapy can help you understand what those adaptations are costing you now.

Earned Wellness, LLC is a Florida-based psychotherapy practice specializing in individualized, trauma-informed mental health care. We believe therapy should be shaped around the person—not the person around a treatment model.
Christopher Brown specializes in working with adults experiencing complex and developmental trauma, relationship and attachment difficulties, substance use disorders, anxiety, and depression. His approach goes beyond symptom management to explore the emotional, relational, and developmental patterns that can keep people feeling disconnected from themselves and others.
Christopher is a Certified NARM Master Therapist through the Complex Trauma Training Center and integrates the NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM) into his work with complex trauma. Therapy focuses on developing greater awareness, agency, self-compassion, and connection while understanding the adaptations that once helped us survive but may now interfere with the lives and relationships we want.
When we grow up in rejecting, misattuned, or emotionally unsafe environments, we often learn that maintaining connection requires us to disconnect from parts of ourselves. In order to preserve attachment, we may learn to suppress our emotions, needs, boundaries, or authentic expression. In this way, we learn to sacrifice authenticity for attachment.
These adaptations can be essential for navigating our early relationships, but they can continue to shape how we experience ourselves and others long after those circumstances have changed. We may struggle to understand who we are, what we need, or why certain patterns continue to repeat in our relationships. Ways of protecting ourselves that once helped us maintain connection can eventually become barriers to the connection, fulfillment, and sense of self we want as adults.
The NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM) is a therapeutic approach specifically designed to address complex and developmental trauma. Rather than focusing solely on what happened in the past, NARM explores how our adaptations to early experiences continue to influence our identity, emotions, relationships, and capacity for connection in the present.
At Earned Wellness, we use the NARM framework to help individuals become curious about their inner experience and better understand the patterns that may be limiting them today. The goal is not to eliminate or judge the strategies that once helped us survive, but to develop greater awareness, choice, and agency—creating more space for authenticity, connection, and the life we want to experience.
Due to licensing, Earned Wellness llc can only provide and offer therapy services to: Florida, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and California.
