01 · Who Brooke works with
Brooke lists 4 specialisms and 13 further focus areas. Specialisms are the subjects Brooke chose to list first, which is the closest a listing gets to “this is my actual practice”.
02 · In Brooke's own words
Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
As a licensed therapist in Georgia and Massachusetts, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My approach centers on helping clients develop self-compassion, improve communication skills, and overcome challenges related to anxiety, grief, and life transitions.
I'm particularly passionate about working with individuals exploring identity, sexuality, and personal growth. My therapeutic practice creates a supportive environment where clients can address social anxiety, isolation, and self-esteem concerns with compassion and understanding.
Drawing from evidence-based practices, I help clients develop resilient coping strategies, process difficult emotions, and rediscover their sense of purpose. Whether you're experiencing mood challenges, relationship difficulties, or seeking deeper self-understanding, I'm committed to walking alongside you with empathy and professional expertise.
My work honors the unique experiences of each individual, with a special focus on supporting LGBTQ+ communities and those navigating significant life changes. Together, we'll create a collaborative path toward healing and personal empowerment.

03 · What happens next
Brooke practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Brooke's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Brooke at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Brooke is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Brooke.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.
04 · Before you commit
Built from what Brooke actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Brooke's - Brooke has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.
“How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”
Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.
“How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”
On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.
