Meet Shelli Brown, MA LPC LPCC
Manager, Youth Development Programs, Rady Children’s Hospital San Diego
Shelli Brown has been working with and for youth and families in a variety of settings for over twenty-five years. Ms. Brown’s interest in impacting young people and families took root in San Diego where she worked for the San Diego Unified School District as a teacher’s aide and counseling aide shortly after graduating from college. It was there that she was inspired to enter into the counseling field and thus attended graduate school in Denver, Colorado, focusing on becoming a therapist. Before moving back to her hometown, she built her career in Denver where she worked in youth violence prevention as the Project Director and the Community Site Manager for the Youth Violence Prevention Center-Denver. She also provided direct service to justice-involved youth as a Licensed Professional Counselor at an adolescent drug treatment center and taught conflict and anger management skills at a non-profit organization. Currently, Ms. Brown serves as the Youth Development Program Manager at the Center for Healthier Communities, Rady Children’s Hospital- San Diego. Since returning to San Diego, Ms. Brown also became a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and has participated in various leadership programs.
