About

Hello and welcome! I am Brooke! I received my MSW from SUNY Stony Brook in 2009. I soon after received my LCSW verified by the State of New York. I work with teens, adults and couples; specializing in anxiety, stress, work/school stressors and relationship concerns. I use Person Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help my clients make progress and start feeling more in control and on their way to a more mentally stable wellness.

My approach to therapy varies based on the needs of each client I work with. I most frequently use Person Centered Therapy as I find it helps the client to organize their goals so that we can work through those better, based on what is most important and meaningful to that client.

My communication style is working with my clients to understand what it is they are experiencing and build that rapport. My hope is to provide supportive problem solving and collaboration, while I can also be that listening ear. I pride myself on my ability to listen without judgement. I will also be that realistic reminder to my clients of what is healthy/what is not, so that we can work toward optimal mental wellness.

What you can expect from our first session together is for us to spend the majority of our time talking about your past experience with coming to counseling, what worked well with past counseling/what didn't, what you are coming to counseling for currently and me asking questions to better understand some of why you may be feeling that way. The first session is about us building an initial connection and helping me get a sense of where we should go from there!
