Getting to know Sakile
Sakile (pronounced Suh-Key-Lay) Brown received a Bachelor of Education in Exercise Physiology from the University of Miami, and is currently pursuing a Master of Biblical Counseling from Dallas Theological Seminary. Sakile was born and raised in Houston, TX and played volleyball at the University of Miami (it’s all about the U!) After graduation, she decided to do an internship with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA), where she ultimately realized her love for serving other people. Because she was always interested in psychology and understanding what makes people who they are, Sakile decided that counseling would be the perfect field for her. After all, she began her time at the University of Miami as a psychology major. Sakile enjoys serving her church by making videos for social media and looks forward to serving in the counseling ministry when she graduates from DTS.
Style and Approach
Sakile is empathetic, caring, and nonjudgmental. She works with people across all faiths and believes that the therapeutic relationship should transcend differing cultures, faiths, and backgrounds. She values the therapeutic relationship because it can be foundational for change and growth. Sakile is drawn to solution-focused therapy and CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy). She believes in the connection between how people think and feel with how they behave. She believes in building clients’ self-efficacy, self-confidence, and self-esteem.
