❤️🐦‍⬛Thrilled to represent alongside my amazing colleague Amy from at the 4th Annual gala in support of mental health programs in our community. Early. Often. Now.

"They speak of my drinking but never my thirst." ~Scottish Proverb

This is one of the most profound truths in couples work.

We react to what we can see-the withdrawal, the anger, the silence. But emotions drive our behaviors and beneath every behaviour is a longing that hasn't been spoken out loud yet.

🐦‍⬛In Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT), we explore the differences between the secondary emotions (what shows) and the primary emotions (what's underneath). When we learn about our primary emotions, we can change our behaviors that keep us stuck in unhealthy conflict. Primary emotions are very tender, hard to express, and can be scary to share but can also move us from conflict to caregiving.

We stop asking "why do you keep doing this?"
And start asking "what are you really thirsting for?"

💞When couples learn to speak from their longings — "I need to know I matter to you" — everything shifts.

Bittersweet Congratulations
💞It is bittersweet to announce the departure of Brittany McCrea from Bright Raven Psychotherapy at the end of April. Brittany has been an integral member of our team for 2 years and we are sad to see her leave as she focuses on her own private practice.

Brittany and I have been colleagues for over a decade. It has been a pleasure to be her clinical supervisor and witness her tremendous professional and personal growth over the years. Her qualities of determination, self-reflection, honesty, commitment, and caring heart have been gifts to every client she has served.

🐦‍⬛ Watching Brittany's growth has reminded me of why I hold clinical supervision so close to my heart. Second only to my role as a therapist, supervision is my most important calling. At its heart, it is a deeply relational endeavor centered on the professional and personal growth of clinicians who bring me their questions, their uncertainties, and their developing sense of self as healers.

To mentor someone in this work is a privilege I do not take lightly. I view mentorship of fellow therapists as an investment in the future of this field. When I sit with a clinician, whether they are newly licensed or seasoned in their practice, I am not simply reviewing cases or ensuring ethical compliance. I am walking alongside someone in the ongoing, often humbling process of becoming. Becoming more skilled, yes, but also becoming more self-aware, more grounded, and more capable of tolerating the profound weight that therapeutic work places on the human beings who do it.

💫 It has been my pleasure to walk alongside Brittany and to see her take this courageous step and launch Wellness Waves Psychotherapy. I could not be more proud. She has everything it takes — the heart, the ethics, and the grit — to build something truly meaningful. Join me in gratitude and congratulations to Brittany as she moves ahead with her future.

🐦‍⬛ Stress Awareness Month? In THIS economy?? Say Less!

I wrote this month’s Inside Voice column for everyone who is exhausted, doing their best, and quietly wondering if something is wrong with them.

😮‍💨 For anyone who absolutely cannot take one more inch of “awareness.”

As a therapist, I will always support stress management.
💞As a fellow human living in 2026, I also need to say: we are already (painfully) aware. Awareness isn't a change agent.

Nothing is wrong with you. The conditions are.

🌙And yet, people just flew around the Moon, together, describing themselves (and all of us) as “inescapably, beautifully linked,” and committed to the joy train.
For 10 days, we were beautifully reminded that awe is still possible and connection is still the strategy.

💫It's tough out here and you’re not entirely off the hook. Community care needs your participation, and joy needs your protection.

Tired of Fighting About Nothing? How to Stop Yelling and Start Listening

Every couple argues about the same things over and over. The dishes. Who cleans the counters the best. The schedule. Priorities. Money. But those topics? They're never really the point. What's underneath your most common arguments might surprise you. What hurts most in the fighting is not feeling heard or valued and worry over losing connection.

Feelings being the key word. In this edition of Brooke's Inside Voice, learn more about how deeper feelings, not just anger frustration and confusion, fuel your most common arguments and how to change the cycle.

Strength. Resilience. Compassion. Confidence. Leadership. We celebrate the qualities of fierce women today and everday. Happy International Women's Day 💜💜💜💜

The coolest part of our practice being located at is that we get to meet the best people and learn about all of the hidden talents in our community. You should know more about Kateryna Mukhokhina, a talented local artist who comes to North Bay from Ukraine. .katryn brought her sunny personality and her incredible talents to Port in the fall and I commissioned her to create a canvas for our family game room. I gave her a general idea and she came back with a sketch and a vision. The finished art was so much more than we expected. She knocked it out of the park with her attention to detail and personalized extra touches. Kateryna has some pieces up at for sale this month. I can't say enough about how incredibly happy she has made our family. We'll love this piece for years ❤️

Grand gestures are easy.
Emotional consistency? That’s the real flex.

🐦‍⬛This month, Brooke's Inside Voice brings a post-Valentines emotionally focused lens to the building blocks of enduring love. Couples often come to therapy saying, “We love each other… but something feels missing.” In the room we discover it’s rarely just about romance (though we need that too).
It’s about emotional safety.

If you want love that lasts longer than chocolate, this one’s for you.

02/14/2026

💞Today we celebrate all loving bonds that help us feel safe and connected that last beyond February 14.
Love isn’t just romantic.
It’s the friend who checks in.
The parent who listens.
The colleague you vibe with.
The partner who turns toward you.
The child who reaches for your hand.

Happy Valentine's Day

02/12/2026

💞You’ve built a life together. Years of shared history, love, challenges, and resilience.
When you share a long lifetime together, it’s easy to rely on what’s always worked.

🐦‍⬛The Hold Me Tight® Couples Retreat creates space to refresh and renew your loving bond with practical tools, structured conversations, and specialized guidance grounded in emotionally focused therapy.

Deep connection isn’t luck. It's built with intention and care. Join us at Hold Me Tight® June 6 and 7 brightravenpsychotherapy.ca/hold-me-tight
