Shelli Brown,
- LPCC
Chief Operating Officer
Born and raised in San Diego, California, 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 when she worked for the San Diego Unified School District as a teacher’s aide and counseling aide shortly after graduating from college. Ms. Brown attended graduate school in Denver, Colorado, where she focused on becoming a Licensed Professional Counselor. There, her career flourished through direct service as a therapist working in adolescent drug treatment, followed by supporting community-based youth violence prevention initiatives as a site manager and project director. In Denver, civic engagement also became a passion.
Ms. Brown moved back to the San Diego area to be closer to family and she began managing school and community-based youth programs for Rady Children’s Hospital. Since returning to San Diego, Ms. Brown has also become a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor.
She currently serves as the Chief Operating Officer for Mending Matters.
