Brooke Lesley, LCSW

Brooke Lesley is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over ten years of experience practicing as a trauma-informed therapist. She brings focused clinical expertise in trauma, life transitions, and grief and loss, and emphasizes how bodily sensations connect to thoughts, beliefs, and both past and present experiences. By attending to moment-to-moment signals from the body, she helps clients develop a clearer sense of how they relate to internal and external stimuli, which can make navigating life’s challenges more manageable.

Brooke notices that people often become stuck on negative self-beliefs and lose sight of their strengths. To broaden perspective and support recovery, she encourages mindfulness and self-compassion during sessions, combining these practices to promote healing, improved distress management, and greater resilience. Her approach centers on recognizing strengths while addressing the patterns that maintain suffering.

Believing that each person is the expert on their own life, Brooke works collaboratively to explore pathways toward a more meaningful life. She focuses on empowering clients to draw on their innate resilience and to identify options for change that align with their values and goals.
