Brooke Bralove Psychotherapy

Psychotherapist, Master Accelerated Resolution Therapy Practitioner, AASECT Certified S*x Therapist I am the proud mother of two wonderful daughters.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Maryland with over 20 years of clinical experience. Born and raised in the DC area, I attended Sidwell Friends School for 14 years before receiving my B.A. in Afro-American Studies from the University of Pennsylvania in 1996. After working in the nonprofit sector for three years, I graduated from Columbia University’s School of Social Work in 2001. I worked at House of Ruth in Washington, DC for two years, providing individual and group counseling to victims of domestic violence. In 2004, I completed a two-year advanced clinical training program in psychodynamic psychotherapy at the Washington School of Psychiatry. In 2013 I became a Certified Daring Way™ Facilitator, based on the research of Dr. Brené Brown. In 2014 I earned a certificate at the National Group Psychotherapy Institute. In addition, I have recently become an AASECT Certified S*x Therapist. I have been working with individuals, couples, and groups in private practice in Bethesda since 2004.

Every life touched by su***de is one too many. 💜 Today, on ***dePreventionDay, we pause to remember those we’ve lost and to remind each other that no one has to carry their pain alone. The statistics are real and heavy, but they’re also a call to action: to check in on our loved ones, to listen with compassion, and to keep the conversation going.

If you’re struggling, please reach out. 📲 Call or text 988 for the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline.

🕊️ You matter. You are needed. You are not alone.

🧠 Your brain loves stories. That’s why certain moments, good or bad, stick so vividly. Our brains process images faster than words, and our bodies respond as if those images are real.

The good news? 💜 Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) helps you reshape the story, turning painful memories into a new, healing narrative.

I get it: therapy can feel scary. The thought of reopening old wounds can feel overwhelming. 😣 That’s why I use Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART).

With ART, you don’t have to retell your story in detail, you don’t get stuck reliving the pain, and you stay in control every step of the way.

Healing doesn’t have to hurt. 💜 You deserve a process that feels safe, supportive, and empowering.

💬 Which feels more reassuring: staying in control or not reliving the pain?

✨ Did you know your eyes can actually help your brain heal? With Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), simple left-to-right eye movements help your brain release the emotional weight of tough memories without having to retell the whole story.

Healing doesn’t have to mean reliving the pain. ART gives you a kinder, more hopeful way forward.

If talking about it feels impossible, you’re not alone. 💜 Healing doesn’t have to mean retelling every detail. In fact, there’s another way.

With Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART):
✨ Your brain already knows the story. We just help it reprocess safely.
✨ You stay fully engaged through gentle, guided eye movements.
✨ You process memories in a way that protects your nervous system, without reliving the pain.

ART offers a faster, kinder path to relief, especially when words feel too heavy.

Think everyone else is having more and better s*x? You’re not alone, and it’s simply not true.

The truth? Comparison steals joy and intimacy. When you focus on what feels right for you (and your partner), you open the door to deeper connection and genuine pleasure. ❤️ Your s*x life doesn’t need to look like anyone else’s to be fulfilling.

Let’s normalize real, honest conversations about intimacy. ⬇️ Share your thoughts in the comments so we can learn from and support each other.

Your brain loves predictability, and ART uses that to help you heal. 🧠💜 With a clear, structured process, ART helps your brain feel safe enough to let go of what’s stuck.

✨ Have you ever felt calmer just knowing what to expect?
That sense of safety isn’t just comforting, it’s powerful. When your nervous system knows what’s coming next, healing can finally begin.
