A trauma-focused therapy practice where the client is the expert and the therapist is the collaborator.
01
At Brenna Brooks' practice, the client is the expert on their own life. Therapists are collaborators, bringing the approaches they've trained in and their own lived experience.
The practice defines trauma as anything from the past that still affects you today, and treats eating disorders, anxiety, and substance use as ways of coping with that underlying trauma.
02
Years of cognitive therapy hadn't stopped Brenna's trauma triggers. One EMDR session resolved the major trauma, and that settled what Brenna would study in graduate school.
03
Brenna started as a social worker planning to own a practice someday. The practice's founder, Mickey Wickersam, offered a second-year practicum built around growing the practice ahead of Mickey's retirement. Brenna took referrals, brought in clinicians, opened the Farmington location, and went on to buy the practice.
Brenna had run the front end but not the back office, with its email, paperwork, and 401(k). Friends who own businesses, and a lot of searching, filled the gaps.
04
The team genuinely likes and supports each other, and clients benefit from it. The goal now is to fill the practice so it can offer employees better pay and benefits.
Outside the office, Brenna rock climbs, trail runs, and lifts weights.
