Welcome! With over 15 years of diverse experience in mental health & wellness, I am dedicated to establishing supportive relationships and improving your quality of life. I work with all ages facing an array of challenges and circumstances. Some of these struggles include anxiety, depression, grief, goal attainment, stressful life transition, inner-conflict, or trauma. I implement a holistic approach tailored to meet your unique needs. I will help you recognize the connection between your body, mind & emotions. My hope is to mend wounds, find stability, reignite strengths, and remove the stigma behind seeking help.

When I’m in session with you I’m completely focused on you and your needs. Therapy is a special time for you to sort out your needs, wants and emotions in a safe way. I’m a Vietnam era veteran who has worked with combat veterans with severe PTSD combined with alcoholism and drug dependence for 22 years. Combat trauma and childhood trauma are frequently entwined within and create many life problems. Let me help you sort that out on your journey to healing.

As a therapist for the past 15 years, my expertise includes working with adolescents, adults, families, and couples experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, issues around life transitions, and family conflict.

I look forward to being able to help you reach your goals and have a fulfilling and healthy life.

Do you miss "the way things used to be?" Are you experiencing a loss of enjoyment in your daily life due to life changes and losses? I enjoy walking with clients through their own unique experiences of life transitions, relationship issues and grief and loss whether caused by the loss of a person, relationship or simply your own well-being. It is my belief that clients can always find strengths that will lead them to a more fulfilled life and I would like to walk with you on your journey to a better life.

As a clinician in the mental health field for over 20 years, I have a great deal of knowledge and experience to offer my clients.

Specifically I utilize empirically based treatment modalities along with a relationship based approach to alleviate pain and suffering caused by mental illness, daily stress, trauma, family conflict, and transitional life changes. I would be honored to assist you on your journey to wellness and self discovery.

Do you struggle with difficult emotions? Feel that something is missing? Unsatisfied with aspects of your life? Working together, I can help you learn to understand your feelings; untangle complicated emotions; increase positive experiences, improve communication and relationships; end cycles of depression and anxiety. Sometimes you feel the need or desire to initiate change. Other times change may present itself in a way that leaves you feeling that you have limited or no influence over your circumstances. I help people deal effectively with change.

Hello, my name is Brook Slaby. I am a license professional mental health therapist with over 10 years of experience.

I help people who are ready to live the life they were meant to live. For years, I struggled with anxiety and panic attacks resulting in wasted time and missed opportunities. If you appreciate a tested traditional approach and also prefer a more holistic approach, I am both a certified cognitive therapist and a holistic life coach bringing you the best of both worlds. I will teach you the same tools and strategies that finally worked for me and support you on your specific and unique life journey and goals. Life is too short and too long to be stressed out and unhealthy. It's time to get back to YOU!

I bring over twenty years of experience to my therapy practice, and have helped clients achieve life-changing results. I provide effective therapy services to those who have been affected by painful life experiences--large and small, recent and long ago. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, losses, or stress, we now know that painful life experiences are what underlie most symptoms that have been labeled as mental health disorders. I ask what happened to you, since our beliefs about ourselves are affected by trauma, and by the messages that significant people in our lives send to us with their words and behaviors.

When addiction is present in a family, its effects are not only felt by the addict, they also have a profound impact on the entire family system. By including all family members in the recovery process, I can help the healing begin and offer support for the trauma that everyone has experienced.

You're troubled and don't know the way out. The strategies you may have tried--addictions, ruminating, blaming others or yourself, and secrecy--don't hold the answers and increase your suffering. I would be happy to talk with you about your situation and explore how therapy could help you find the way out. I understand about addiction, trauma, and the difficulty of feeling safe and learning to trust again. I can help you take charge of your life and solve problems so that you can cultivate happiness from within and create a better life for yourself.

I value providing you with a safe space and the freedom to open at your own pace, cultivating a healthy therapeutic relationship to support change and healing. As you reveal what's not working in your life and relationships, I select the best motivational therapeutic approach to help you effectively address these challenges. My guidance, while compassionate, is also honest and direct so you take responsibility for establishing and maintaining your emotional well-being. Doing so helps to reduce the impact of long-term emotional distress in your life.

I recognize the need for innovative and unconventional treatment options. I offer unique services tailored to every individual’s specific needs. I have a backyard office at my place, Bender's Barn Animal Sanctuary & Therapeutic Farm, 501c3. Whether or not you seek to engage in animal based services you will certainly benefit from this relaxing and welcoming environment. I utilize EMDR, IFS, Animal Integrated, TF/CBT, Strength Based, Attachment Theory, Somatic, & Meditative based therapies. I believe in the importance of normalizing therapy & fostering a genuine human connection. Feeling comfortable, related-to, and empowered.

How do you feel right now? What do you need? What do you want? Change in our lives can only come from a better understanding of who we really are. Validation of past experiences, wounds and traumas. Through exploration, comes a willingness to work to change. Not who you are, but how you are; in relationships, at work, with your family and with yourself. Reducing anxiety, feeling less depressed, better able to deal with overwhelming emotions. Contentment.
