Brooke Sprowl, LCSW

My desire is to help you come to a point where depression, loneliness, and anxiety are no longer controlling factors in your life and are replaced by courage, self-love, and deep relational connections. When you learn tools to excavate and integrate the parts of yourself you left behind, you are capable of facing and becoming more than you can imagine.

During our sessions, we will practice a new way of being. Over time and with practice, you’ll begin to carry that experience outside os session. It’s like muscle memory.

The more we learn to self-regulate our anxieties and attune our bodies to create peace, security, and confidence, the more we bring them into every aspect of our lives. With over a decade of experience working with individuals, couples, and families as well as through my own personal psychological work, I have developed a deep awareness of how human beings change.

Though I have many years of experience and education, I come to this work primarily, not as an ivory tower expert, but as some one who has been in the trenches and come to the other side. My work is experiential and somatic, bypassing the mind, which can be such a clever diversion, and working with the unconscious forces that so often hijack our lives without our consent. 

Trauma is stored in the body and we often don’t realize it we’re carrying it with us until we begin to experience problems and patterns in our lives that aren’t lining up with who we think we are and what we think we want. 

We work together to reconcile the mind and the body, which are so often cut off from each other, creating confusion, anxiety, and helplessness. 

We act out our trauma until we heal it. 

Blending practical tools with deep, experiential and somatic work, we integrate what has been split off and empower ourselves to heal. We learn to come back into contact with the parts of ourselves we’ve left behind, and restore a newfound sense of vitality and peace. 

When we do this work honestly and engage with it fully, it creates shifts in every realm of our lives.

As we gain greater awareness of who we are at our core, we create deep shifts the way we communication and interacts with others, transforming our relationships along with us. 

My primary specializations are depression, anxiety, and trauma, with special passion for couples therapy, codependency, and dating. 

Because I’ve been through the trenches of my own struggles with depression, anxiety, and relationship issues, my expertise comes not only from years of training, but also from having faced my own demons and overcome them
