Brooke Lederer

LCSW

I believe in each person’s ability to thrive mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually.

Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, a history of trauma, relationship issues, or other life stressors,

I am here to support you in building skills to access your resiliency and capabilities.

Throughout our sessions, we will gain insight into your patterns, and you will learn tools to help you disrupt old ways of being to live in alignment with your values.

I graduated in 2014 with my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Denver, and operate from a systems perspective, meaning that while I work with people individually I take into account what it means to live within the larger systems (family, community, political, religious, etc.) they are a part of.

I have a strengths-based, client-centered approach such that each session is catered to meet your individual needs and goals. Most sessions will integrate cognitive processing (CBT skills) with mindfulness (learning how to be present with your experiences in the moment), and somatic grounding skills (connecting your emotional experience to what is happening in your body, and learning how to do so within your window of tolerance), and I will support you in incorporating these skills into your everyday life.

I also come from a wilderness therapy background, and whenever applicable will draw on teachings and wisdom from nature to help ground and guide us.

I bring compassion, patience, honesty, and direct feedback to my relationships with my clients, and look forward to connecting with you and supporting you along your journey.
