Heather Brooks, LMFT

Heather Brooks, LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist), invites people to explore strengths they may not realize they have. She works from the belief that individuals are doing the best they can with the resources available to them, and acknowledges how a lack of support or resources can make challenging moments feel heavier and more isolating.

She offers a supportive therapeutic process for those who feel alone, overwhelmed, heartbroken, trapped, or flawed, focusing on helping people identify and build on their own inner capacities. She aims to create a nurturing, non-judgmental, honest, and respectful environment where collaboration leads to individualized solutions tailored to each person’s life and goals.

Heather has a deep interest in grief, loss, and bereavement work and specializes in guiding clients through the grief process toward emotional completion. Her approach supports saying goodbye to unmet hopes, dreams, and expectations so clients can move forward and pursue their best possible life.

She draws from a range of approaches to meet each person’s needs, including client-centered and strength-based methods, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). In recent years she has moved toward solution-focused practices that emphasize symptom relief and practical coping for the pressures of everyday life. Areas of focus have included anxiety, depression, high expectations, difficult relationships, job-related stress, and substance use concerns.

She looks forward to offering support and working collaboratively to address whatever needs may arise.
