BROOKE BLANKENSHIP

Brooke Blankenship, M.A., LCPC (she/they)

Psychotherapist

Brooke is a relational, trauma-informed therapist who centers compassion, curiosity, and works collaboratively to uncover parts of the self that need gentle tending, while honoring both familiar and emerging strengths. She supports clients in reconnecting with their intentions for healing, growth, and self-understanding through mindfulness, somatic tools, narrative practices, and deep inquiry.

Her integrative, intersectional approach draws from feminist, psychoanalytic, relational, somatic, and liberatory therapies. Brooke is committed to anti-oppressive, neurodiversity-affirming, fat-positive, and sex-positive care, and works to deconstruct dominant cultural narratives that shape how we see ourselves and relate to others. She supports clients impacted by intergenerational trauma, systemic harm, and social marginalization, offering a space that is nonjudgmental, empowering, and affirming.

She specializes in working with polyamorous/non-monogamous folks, trans and nonbinary clients, BIPOC, disabled and neurodivergent individuals, and sex workers. Brooke offers a nonjudgmental space for clients to process trauma, explore identity, and reclaim personal narratives.

With a background in writing and storytelling, Brooke believes in the power of rewriting our internal stories as acts of agency and self-compassion. She views therapy as a space where those stories can be explored, reimagined, and reclaimed in the service of agency, liberation, and healing. Brooke believes in the power of tending to grief, joy, intuition, and rest as meaningful acts of resistance and self-connection.
