You have made the first step! Life can have many challenges that often leave us feeling lost, helpless, hopeless, and doubting ourselves. I commend you for taking the initiative to seek help as that already demonstrates a willingness, strength, and desire to make changes. My name is Sarah Larke Brooke, and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I earned a Master of Social Work degree from Boston University in 2001. I've worked in many settings with individuals and families from varied backgrounds who were struggling with a wide variety of challenges such as depression, anxiety, stress, family problems, trauma, abuse, relationship difficulties, and more. I have assisted clients involving career paths, parenting, self-esteem, self-confidence, coping skills, life-transitions, and everyday issues. My objective as a therapist is to empower you to utilize your innate ability to make positive changes while helping identify your strengths, providing insight, options, and moral support. I am passionate about my work and I am humbled when clients allow me to be a part of their journey toward healing and happiness. As a clinician, my experience has taught me that a very important aspect of counseling is the connection and comfort you feel with your therapist. A strong therapeutic relationship should be established, enabling you to be open and honest and to make the progress you are hoping to achieve. If you believe we would be a good match I am ready to support you on this journey.
