Therapists in American Fork, UT

Hello there! My name is Brooke, and I am the owner and a therapist at Brookhaven Counseling. I am a licensed clinical social worker, and have been working in this field for over 20 years. I use a strengths based approach with my clients, and believe that each person has within them the ability to heal, grow, and find purpose and meaning in life. I love to walk beside my clients as they work through difficult issues, and as they discover the new insight and growth that inevitably appears on the other side of the struggle.

You may be experiencing anxiety, depression, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, OCD, a personality disorder, or another mental health challenge. Perhaps you are having trouble with relationships, or difficulties at your place of employment. You may feel stuck in your life or need to clarify personal values and goals. I am skilled and experienced at working with people facing a variety of mental health and related challenges. I specialize in working with people 18 years old and older. My approach to therapy starts with the idea that people are usually the best experts on their own lives.

Many people are finding that they are facing challenges that were unexpected. For many of us, continuing on without changing is likely to result in developing meaningless habits, alcohol/substance abuse, ignoring work/relationships, or engaging in self-sabotaging behaviors. Often times there are internal barriers, patterns, or ways of thinking that prevent us from making the changes in our lives. Through understanding our defenses and patterns of behavior, I believe therapy can help to assist in uncovering hope, insight, and develop new skills so you may move forward with passion and purpose.

I’ve helped many people in my career who have struggled with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and relationship difficulties because of trauma, abuse, loss, or other high-stress experiences from their past. It’s not just the events we’ve experienced, but rather the result of how those events continue to affect us. I help patients retain learning and wisdom from their past but lose the pain. Everyone who steps into my office will be valued, heard, and respected no matter how difficult the issues may be to talk about. I respect and treat each person as I would want my own family member treated.
