Hi, I’m Brooke, a licensed therapist who helps adults find relief from anxiety, heal from trauma, and navigate the transitions that life inevitably brings. My style is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative . I want you to feel comfortable, understood, and supported from the very beginning. I primarily draw from CBT, ACT, and EMDR, but I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. I get to know you as a person so that we can tailor therapy to what works best for you. Clients often describe me as “calming,” and I think that reflects the kind of space I try to create : one where you can let your guard down, explore what’s happening beneath the surface, and begin to move toward real change. I became a therapist because I know what it’s like to suffer and I believe that no one should have to stay stuck in pain or face it alone.

If you are an adult struggling with stress, life changes, depression or anxiety please reach out for assistance, My approach to counseling is based on each individual’s situation. I tend to focus on cognitive behavioral, mindfulness, solution focus and supportive therapy.You have made an important first step in getting help. Please feel free to schedule an appointment. I look forward to working with you.

As a clinician I am calm, kind, and reliable. I am passionate about supporting people in their journey towards self improvement in many areas including mentally, socially and emotionally. I strive to be consistent and communicative in my role to be a constant positive force in the lives of my clients, providing guidance for their growth. I believe in a holistic approach incorporating aspects of counseling, fitness and nutrition to support client goals.

After many years working in science, I got training in psychotherapy: first in psychoanalysis, then in powerful, evidence-based emotion-focused approaches like Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFCT/EFIT), AEDP and EMDR. This blend lets me speak to both your heart and your mind. Together we’ll figure out what approach works best for you—whether it’s deep exploration, emotional processing, or a more targeted skills based approach. My goal in our sessions is to create a safe space between us—where you can feel truly secure enough to explore your own way of connecting to the world, to others, and to yourself. I want this to be a place where being vulnerable doesn't feel risky, where emotions can come up without judgment, and where you get to practice being seen and heard exactly as you are. From there, we build the confidence and skills to carry that sense of safety into your everyday relationships and life. If that sounds like something you'd like to try, I'm ready whenever you are. Reach out—let's start

Do you ever feel misunderstood, no one ever listens or cares about your life? Do you sometimes feel that you are trapped in a room without an exit? I will never exactly understand what it is like to be you, however I believe that significant progress can be made in even the toughest of life situations.

I work with people who are tired of just getting through the day and wondering if things will ever feel easier.

I offer a space where you can be real, slow down, and start sorting through what’s been weighing you down. My style is warm, honest, and supportive. I’ll meet you where you are, and together we’ll gently explore what’s behind the stress, heaviness, or patterns that keep showing up. Healing doesn’t happen overnight, but with the right support, meaningful change is possible. If any of this resonates with you, feel free to reach out. I’m happy to answer any questions and help you feel more at ease about starting therapy. I look forward to meeting with you and being part of your healing journey!

Hi there! I'm probably not much different from you. Trying to navigate life's rough moments. Wishing and holding on to dreams and aspirations - feeling disappointed or defeated when they slip away or seem consistently out of reach. Universal human traits and needs may seem cliche, but I've come to discover that it is reflected in all of us. My experience as a therapist has helped many people gain fundamental insights into themselves and realize that we're not that much different [some just wear better masks!]. It has also helped me to recognize why it can be difficult to breakout of feeling perpetually stuck. Sometimes my clients mirror myself and it can be a humbling but meaningful experience. One of my strengths is humor -very underrated! I like to sprinkle that into my work when possible as it helps to balance the heaviness of life. I don't always hide behind my therapist role - I share my experiences to help build connection, to normalize, and highlight that no matter who you are, we're likely seeking something similar from and for ourselves.

Hi, my name is Bradley Levy LICSW and have 20 years of experience in the field. Are there changes that either you want to or need to act upon? If things feel too difficult to change and you need guidance, support, direction, and empathic listening you might be a great candidate for individual therapy from me. What separates me from other clinicians is my versatility. Throughout my career, I have worked at every level of care and every population. From individual therapy/group therapy to intensive outpatient, and partial hospitalization programs to being the clinical director at a locked psychiatric hospital, I have seen pretty much everything. My main objective in all cases is to try and build a trusting rapport/relationship in which no judgment is made and an atmosphere where one can feel safe talking about difficult issues, their current level or desire to change through motivational interviewing and CBT. Over the years I have come to develop areas of extreme expertise such as addiction (either oneself or a loved one), co-occurring disorders or dual diagnosis, dealing with any diagnosis from adjustment disorders to more complex or serious mental illness which includes major depression, anxiety, bipolar, schizophrenia, and the conditions that fall within these categories. In addition, I can offer case management services, assist with paperwork, or find the right treatment if need a higher level of care.

I work with adults who feel stuck, burned out, or disconnected from themselves and are ready to look honestly at what's not working in their lives.

The work I'm most drawn to: anxiety, depression, burnout, life transitions, women's issues, and the patterns that keep us stuck.
