Brooke Messinger
There are times in life when people will seek counseling because they feel disconnected in their relationships, are struggling with difficult situations and emotions, or long to live a life that feels meaningful, satisfying, and authentic. My approach begins with the belief that individuals are resilient and may benefit from utilizing their strengths to increase their resilience. I can assist in attaining lifestyle balance, developing healthy coping skills, recognizing your priorities and problem-solving. I believe that every client is an individual and deserves a personalized treatment plan to fit their needs. My clients struggle with anxiety, depression, family conflict, grief, counseling for adolescents and families and situational life stress.
My approach begins with the belief that individuals are resilient and may benefit from utilizing their strengths to increase their resilience.
Taking the first step is never easy, but I am here to support you. Life can be overwhelming and challenging at times. It is important to me to lead with empathy and meet my clients where they are so we can work through the issues together.
First session
I provide a relaxed, casual, friendly, laid-back environment and believe in going at your pace. I will meet you where you at and allow collaborative pacing and tone of the session. I pride myself on being a non-judgmental individual and strive to provide a safe space for everyone I meet.
Strengths
Whether you have been struggling with mental health concerns for years or are newly curious about how to better support your mental wellbeing, therapy can help. Our work together can to help you cope with life’s challenges, learn more about yourself, improve your relationships, increase your self-esteem, get in touch with your values, and learn skills to help you lead a more fulfilling life.
Ideal clients
I have a strong background in working with depression, anxiety, self-esteem building, trauma, relational/interpersonal issues, and helping people to navigate life stressors and increase emotional awareness. While I use my expertise in evidence-based techniques to provide you with high quality therapy, I also approach our therapy with genuine compassion and empathy about your unique experiences and characteristics. Your comfort is important to me and I tailor the therapy style and pace to best suit your needs.
