Patti Brown, LMFT

Wellness Within is the realization of a long-held vision for Patti Brown. After over 20 years in private practice as a licensed psychotherapist, Patti felt a persistent calling to create a safe,

welcoming space for individuals facing the life-altering experience of cancer. In 2011, she founded Wellness Within, a nonprofit center dedicated to supporting the emotional, mental, and spiritual needs of those affected by cancer—patients, survivors, caregivers,

and loved ones alike.

With advanced training in mind-body medicine and a passion for whole-person healing, Patti has spent her career helping others navigate the complexities of serious illness with compassion and dignity. At Wellness Within, she brings together integrative practices such as meditation, expressive arts, movement, and therapeutic support to complement medical care and improve quality of life.

Patti deeply understands the isolation, fear, and uncertainty that can come with a cancer diagnosis. Her work is rooted in the belief that healing occurs not just in the body, but in the mind and spirit—and that no one should have to go through it alone. Under her leadership, Wellness Within has grown into a nurturing and trusted community where people find connection, comfort, and hope.

Patti continues to teach, mentor, and guide both individuals and groups, while championing the integration of mind-body support into cancer care. Her life’s work is to foster healing spaces where people can access their inner strength and feel truly seen, supported, and empowered on their journey.
