I work with people struggling with balance, feeling a sense of meaning and fulfillment. Whatever their particular struggle, from interpersonal issues, trauma, changes in life, struggle with identity, emotive control and expression, and self-sabotage-to more extreme expressions of those issues resulting in self harm or suicidal thoughts, my goal is to help every person that I come in contact with build a life worth living. This is accomplished through targeted interventions tailored to that person, their concerns, personality and strengths.

You and those you love live in scary and uncertain times. You likely find yourself in a world you barely recognize, having to get by with more needs on fewer resources. We have all began to see the results of living under constant fight-or-flight stress while an entire world struggles to get by without needed coping skills, adequate financial resources, or knowing where to turn for guidance.

I welcome the opportunity to work with you or your family.
Sometimes life brings difficulties we never imagined we would have to deal with. These are situations, circumstances and events like parenting a difficult child, experiencing anxiety or depression, and problems at school, work, or home that we just don't feel equipped to deal with. Many of us expect ourselves to be able to resolve these difficulties and when we can't we feel defeated. Worry, distress, and apathy have run their course and now it's time to get help. I am sensitive to your situation and can help you find relief.

Sometimes we get stuck with the thoughts and doubts that churn in our heads. With a therapist, you can start to unravel conflicting thoughts and find peace. I enjoy working with codependency and attachment, teens that are struggling to find themselves, and individuals on the Autistic Spectrum. I believe that each person is unique and benefits from different therapeutic interventions. The majority of studies that the relationship with your therapist is a bigger predictor of success than the type of therapy/modality being provided. We will work together to create personalized goals and identify your strengths and limitations.

I work with clients who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, or trauma related to relationships, family, or past experiences.
Hey, I’m Brooke Adamek, a Licensed Professional Counselor. I’m glad you’re here. Starting therapy can feel intimidating, and you don't need to have everything figured out to begin. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, stress, life transitions, and patterns that feel hard to break. Many people come in feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward, and want something to actually feel different. Your patterns developed for a reason. They helped you cope or stay safe. Even your nervous system has learned to respond in certain ways based on what you have experienced. The goal is not to judge that, but to understand.

My therapeutic approach focuses on helping clients process and manage challenges related to anxiety, depression, addiction, relationships, and family dynamics .
I believe our lives are a journey, and when a client trusts me with their most personal stories, I feel honored to walk alongside them. My goal is for clients to feel genuinely heard, respected, and understood as we work together to build self‑awareness, acceptance, practical solutions, and coping strategies for the challenges they face. Every person comes to therapy with a unique history, set of concerns, and hopes for the future. For some, the work involves processing and managing specific issues; for others, it means learning to accept and find meaning in life’s most difficult experiences.

I also work with families and adults who are going through transitions/life challenges that impact the overall mental health and functioning of individuals.
“It’s like talking to a wall, everything I say gets an eye roll,” or “one minute they’re happy, the next they are furious,” and” they get upset over the smallest things.” You may have heard some of these expressions from pre-teens or teenagers. You may be thinking, “Is this normal, or could there be something else going on that I don’t know about?”

FAQ - About Family Therapy
What issues does family therapy help with?
Family therapy can help families navigate the complex dynamics of family life, including communication challenges and recurring conflict between family members. A therapist can help family members identify dysfunctional patterns in communication and develop healthier ways of relating. Family therapy may also be helpful during major life transitions or stressful events that affect the family system, such as grief, divorce, trauma, relocation, or a serious illness. In some cases, family therapy can support families coping with specific mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, alcohol or substance use disorders, and eating disorders. In these situations, therapy can provide education and support for family members, as well as to the individual with the mental health diagnosis.

How do I know if my family needs counseling?
Family therapy may be helpful if a family consistently struggles with conflict or communication in a way that affects daily life or relationships. It can also be beneficial when someone in the family is experiencing significant emotional or behavioral changes, such as a family member becoming aggressive, withdrawing, or struggling to cope after a traumatic event. Additionally, some concerns, such as addiction or eating disorders, may be especially important to address in the context of the family unit.

Who attends family counseling sessions?
Family counseling sessions are often attended by members of the immediate family, such as parents, caregivers, children, or siblings. However, other family members may attend when appropriate, including grandparents, stepparents, stepsiblings, or co-parents. Who attends may depend on the family’s needs, the therapist’s recommendations, and the goals of treatment.

Can family therapy be done online?
Family therapy can often be done online. Virtual sessions may be especially convenient when family members live in different locations, have busy schedules, or live in an area where family therapists are less accessible. However, online therapy may not be the best fit for every family. In-person care may be more appropriate when there are safety concerns, severe conflict, limited privacy at home, or when young children have difficulty engaging through a screen.

What therapeutic approaches are used in family counseling?
Family therapy can take different forms, including systemic family therapy (exploring how individual actions affect the family), structural family therapy (uncovering the structure and relationship dynamics of the family unit), and attachment-based family therapy (focusing on how bonds between family members shape relationships). Family therapy may also include psychoeducation, which helps family members learn more about a mental health condition and how to respond to it more effectively.

How much does family therapy cost and is it covered by insurance?
Family therapy sessions, which typically last about an hour, often range from $150 to $250 or more, depending on factors such as location, therapist experience, session length, and practice setting. In general, family therapy may cost more than individual therapy because it involves multiple participants and more complex treatment planning. Insurance coverage for family therapy varies by plan. Some plans may cover family therapy when it is part of treatment for a diagnosed mental health condition affecting one family member. However, many plans do not cover therapy for general family conflict, communication concerns, or relationship issues alone. Before starting therapy, it is important to check with your insurance provider to confirm whether family therapy is covered, what your copay or deductible may be, and whether any diagnosis, referral, or prior authorization is required.
