Brooke is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) who provides therapy services to children, teens, and adults. Her education includes a bachelor’s degree in counseling/psychology from Toccoa Falls College and two master’s degrees in public health and social work from the University of Georgia.  Through her own lived experiences and a passion for understanding people, she has learned the value of empathy and acceptance in the healing process. Her therapeutic style is warm, empathetic, and relational, creating a space that fosters hope, acceptance, and positive change. Brooke's goal is to offer a safe, healing space where one feels free to navigate tough feelings, thoughts, and emotions. Her experience with kids, teens, and adults in mental health and public health settings has provided Brooke with a unique skill set to work with clients living with various mental health concerns. A few areas include anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, transitions, mood disorders, behavioral challenges, disasters, disordered eating, and trauma.

My passion is helping couples and individuals understand their current story of shutdown or strife so healing can begin.  I started where you are. I was smart and competent in many ways, but I didn’t understand how my early relationships and experiences affected the choices I was making. I struggled the first few years of marriage and felt defeated. Almost three decades later, I find joy helping couples and individuals find a new way.  In sessions with couples, I use Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT) to track the steps in the relationship's negative cycle, a cycle of disconnect that you’ve unconsciously fallen into over time. We step away from blame and discover that the vulnerable feelings of rejection and abandonment are fueling the cyclical fights. We see that under surface tensions are attachment cries: Are you there? Do I matter?  In individual sessions, I use Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) to help you explore how your default responses might be getting in the way of the love and the life you want. These default responses are related to your attachment style. Instead of feeling defeated by your repeated "failings" or “mistakes,” you’ll see that you make sense in the context of your life’s experience.  Read more about my approach and schedule a free consultation with me here: https://newstorycounselingatl.com/services

It was her own life experiences and trauma that led Sally to follow God’s call to go back to graduate school and become a counselor after 20 years in the business world. She began her journey in 2008 by getting a Master of Science in counseling from Mercer University and started counseling clients in 2012. She is a faith-based counselor working with adults and adolescents in the areas of trauma, suicidal ideation and self-harm, mood disorders (including depression, anxiety, and bipolar), as well as relationship challenges including recovery from emotionally abusive relationships and spiritual questioning. Sally uses a combination of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) skills that identify unhealthy thinking patterns and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills that improve ways to self-regulate emotions. For clients needing to work on past, unresolved trauma, she uses the method of trauma resolution called progressive counting, which helps a client feel safe during this process. Sally’s desire is to develop a relationship with each client that allows them to nurture their mind, body, and spirit. She hopes that her clients will feel safe and understood in a non-judgmental environment of support and care.

Are you frustrated with or worn down by the relationships in your life? Is the person who used to bring out your best bringing out your worst? My passion is working with couples and families. We all bring a suitcase full of past wounds, maladaptive patterns, and distorted thinking into each relationship. Sometimes these go undiscovered for years. I want to help you explore ways to heal and be more effective in relating to those that you love! I also enjoy working with individuals from a similar perspective. It's astonishing how often relational issues tie in to individual issues such as depression and anxiety. Simply put, I love walking with people through their brokenness. Life is full of difficulty and at times, help is needed. I want to come alongside people during these times to provide a safe and thorough environment of insight, exploration and expertise in order to empower you to become your best you.
