5 years of experience
I am licensed in Arizona and Nevada with 6 years of professional work experience in the Social Work Field. I have experience in helping clients with LGBTQIA+ related issues, trauma and abuse, coping with grief and loss, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence. "Without having the Triangle of Self balance of the Mind, Body and Spirit, one has not truly aligned oneself.”-White Cloud Woman (Ma’kpe’ya Ska’ Winyan) Dr. Ebony Brushbreaker is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, who graduated Summa Cum Laude from Colorado State University with a Bachelor’s in Social Work. Prior to working in Social Services, Dr. Ebony served in the United States Army for eight years and received an Honorable Discharge as a Staff Sergeant stationed at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, in the 1st of the 159th Aviation Brigade. After obtaining her Master’s in Social Work (Summa Cum Laude), she began her journey in the Medical Social Work field. For over 12 years, she worked with geriatric clients and adults with complex medical conditions in various settings including, Long Term Care, Hospice, and Home Health. She recently obtained a PhD in Health Administration and Health Care Leadership with honors (Summa Cum Laude) and is committed to increasing access to medically necessary services. In addition to clinical work, she served as a Regional Director of Social Services in the Long Term Care discipline.
In our first session we will have an open organic conversation that will build rapport and support within the relationship between provider and client. The goal is to provide a safe place to work through concerns without fear of judgment along with developing tools to aid in self improvement.
An enrolled member of the Sicangu (Rosebud) Lakota Sioux Tribe of South Dakota, Ebony is a strong advocate for mental health services in the Native American/Indigenous population. Her culture, upbringing, and lived experiences have informed her clinical work, where she believes in cultivating the Being of a person from not only the physical side, following the medical model of treatment, but with an awareness of inner Spirit. She believes in her traditional ways and her culturally informed treatment is wholistic, empowering, and sensitive to the BIPOC (Black, indigenous, and people of color) experience. Her approach to mental health and wellbeing is eclectic and incorporates elements from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), expressive arts, structural, and solution focused therapy.
Ebony works with individuals (age 13+) and families with a wide range of clinical concerns, including depression, anxiety, substance abuse, history of sexual trauma, grief, adjustment to aging, adjustment to chronic illness, and end-of-life issues.

Amazing first impressions ! Can’t wait for the next session
Narrative Therapy is infused to allow the client to be open within the session, allowing an organic-natural flow of each session.
CBT allows the client to participate in the concerns and think through the way they think about the behavior.
BIPOC and Native American population is important to servicing as they are the most underserved. I have catered by work to assisting in the advancement of Mental Health within this population by offering quality services.
Working through trauma and assisting those that have been associated with trauma is an interested field of work. I have worked with PTSD clients dealing with physical, sexual, emotional, spiritual and verbal abuse. I have also served in the military and have assisted with PTSD stemming from combat related traumas.
