Brooke Harris
Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 11 years of experience helping individuals navigate life's challenges. My approach to therapy is warm, compassionate, and down-to-earth. I believe therapy should be a space where you can feel comfortable being yourself, without fear of judgment. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, stress, life transitions, relationships, or simply feeling overwhelmed, I'm here to help you work through those challenges. My goal is to make therapy feel like a genuine conversation while helping you build confidence, develop healthy coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change.
First session
Your first session is all about getting to know you and helping you feel comfortable. I understand that starting therapy can feel overwhelming, especially if it's your first time, so there's no pressure to share more than you're ready to. We'll talk about what brought you to therapy, any challenges you may be experiencing, and what you hope to gain from our time together. I'll ask questions to better understand your background, experiences, and goals while giving you the opportunity to ask questions as well. My goal is for you to leave your first session feeling heard, supported, and confident that therapy is a safe space where we can work together toward positive change.
Strengths
I bring over 11 years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, along with a warm, compassionate, and down-to-earth approach to therapy. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and judgment-free environment where clients feel comfortable being themselves. My approach is collaborative and individualized, recognizing that no two people have the same experiences or needs. I combine empathy, active listening, and practical coping strategies to help clients navigate life's challenges, build confidence, and create meaningful change. I believe therapy should feel like a genuine conversation where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered.
Ideal clients
My ideal client is someone who may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stressed, or simply stuck in life and is looking for a supportive space to work through those challenges. You may be navigating life transitions, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, or struggling to balance the demands of everyday life. You don't need to have everything figured out or even know exactly what you want to work on. I enjoy working with individuals who are open to exploring their thoughts and feelings, gaining a better understanding of themselves, and making positive changes at their own pace. Whether you're seeking practical coping strategies, emotional support, or personal growth, my goal is to meet you where you are and help you feel more confident, empowered, and in control of your life.
Treatment methods
Psychodynamic
I utilize psychodynamic therapy as a conversational approach that helps clients explore how past experiences, relationships, and patterns of behavior may influence their current thoughts, emotions, and challenges. Together, we work to identify recurring patterns, gain a deeper understanding of emotions, and develop greater self-awareness. My goal is to help clients better understand themselves, break unhealthy patterns, and create meaningful, lasting changes in their lives.
Motivational Interviewing
I utilize motivational interviewing as a supportive, client-centered approach to help individuals explore their feelings, identify personal goals, and build motivation for positive change. Through open conversations, active listening, and encouragement, I help clients recognize their strengths, work through uncertainty, and gain confidence in their ability to make meaningful changes. My goal is to empower clients to move forward at their own pace while feeling supported, understood, and in control of their personal growth.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and understand how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected. Together, we work to recognize negative thought patterns, challenge unhelpful beliefs, and develop healthier ways of thinking and responding to life's challenges. I incorporate practical coping strategies and problem-solving techniques that clients can apply in their everyday lives. My goal is to help clients manage anxiety, stress, and overwhelming emotions while building confidence, improving emotional well-being, and creating lasting positive change.
Strength-Based
I utilize a strength-based approach to help clients recognize and build upon the strengths, abilities, and resilience they already possess. I believe everyone has unique qualities and experiences that can help them overcome challenges and create positive change. Together, we focus on identifying personal strengths, celebrating progress, and building confidence while working toward individual goals. My goal is to empower clients to recognize their potential, develop a stronger sense of self-worth, and feel more confident navigating life's challenges.
