Great news! Our therapist, Brooke, has new openings for clients.
Brooke is a LPCC certified in ART therapy (Accelerated Resolution Therapy).

As an accelerated version of EMDR, ART uses relaxing eye movements to change the way trauma is stored in the brain. The goal? That triggers will no longer trigger strong emotions and or physical reactions. Research has been shown to be helpful for trauma, grief, depression, and more.

Brooke offers an empathetic, affirming, collaborative, gentle yet directive approach. She is a relational therapist who will tailor her approach with your means in mind. She has a special interest in working with neurodivergent, perfectionists, trauma, and people pleasers.
