Brooke Porter

My name is Brooke Porter and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I am a passionate individual who strives to help others along their healing journeys. I focus on joining clients on their journeys and strengthening their sense of well-being, increase self-esteem, and achieve goals for themselves.

My approach

I am a humanistic therapist, who is client centered, and I focus on building a strong therapeutic relationship to assist in the healing process. I incorporate aspects from cognitive behavioral therapy as well as skills from dialectical behavioral therapy, such as mindfulness, meditation, and emotional regulation skills.

My focus

I have a variety of experience working with a variety of diagnoses. The populations of clients I enjoy working with include the following diagnoses: Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression, and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

My communication style

I do my best to create a warm, calm, welcoming, and safe environment for my clients to grow and improve in various areas of their lives including interpersonal interactions, self-love, and relationships. I have an open and relaxed kind of communication style.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have had a passion for helping others through tough situations and times in their lives since I was a young girl. There is something very special in seeing people transform their lives and become who they strive to be. I have a special place in my heart for those who overcome life challenges and thrive!

My goals for you

With each of my clients, we collaboratively set goals to work towards during our time together. I like to utilize S.M.A.R.T. goals which are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound goals.

My first session with you

During our first session, I conducted a biopsychosocial assessment where I got to know about the presenting concerns and areas the client wants to focus on. I provide my background and educational experience so each client has an idea of who they are working with as well.
