Brooke Stafford, LMFT
About Me
Hello, and welcome! My name is Brooke. My focus when working with couples and individuals is through a Family Systems lens highlighting that the Whole is greater than the Sum of its parts. I am passionate about empowering others to be advocates for themselves while focusing on their awareness and self-responsibility throughout the therapeutic process.
My Experience
I have been practicing therapy for over 8 years and have specialized in people, relationships and families for over 15 years. My clinical experience includes both private practice and community settings, where I have provided individual, couples, family and group therapies. I have worked with a wide range of ages from 2 years old to 70+. Through ongoing professional development and advanced training, I stay current with the most effective, evidence-based approaches to help couples and individuals in their process to building a stronger connection and collaboration within their relationship.

Therapy Approach
My therapeutic style is specifically influenced by Structural-Strategic Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. We as individuals have challenges that affect our relationships. These challenges most often stem from past history, create present experiences, and affect future outcomes. Thankfully, the resilience within us along with our resources builds strength. As we strengthen ourselves we can establish goals to grow and explore life and its many opportunities.
Who I Am
When I’m not in work-mode I am a mother, partner, daughter, friend and adoring dachshund owner. I enjoy learning, attending musicals and concerts, and traveling, especially to the beach! I believe in taking care of myself first and foremost to be able to play all the roles I hold responsibly and effectively.
