Brooke Howell, CSW
Hi! I am happy you are here.
Maybe you have found yourself here because you've read all about love bombing, emotional abuse, or trauma - and it all hits hard. Lately, nothing seems to fix the way you still feel some days. Like a stranger to your own mind. Like you'll never trust anyone again. Like you will never feel accepting of who you are or move closer to who you want to be. Maybe you are here because there are parts of your life that feel emotionally confusing, and you are searching for a safe space to explore those feelings and find new perspectives.
And while some days feel okay - hopeful even - other days feel like a complete 180. You're not crazy. You're not broken. You're someone who has been hurt. Deeply. And you deserve a space to heal.
My Approach to Therapy (and Why It Feels Different)
My style is inclusive, empowering, compassionate, and relational - which means I meet you where you're at, and we collaborate on what will work best for you. I use a mix of existential and person-centered therapy (which just means we talk about your life, your values, your story - and how to reclaim it). I believe in blending psychotherapy ("talk therapy") with solution-focused/skills-based approaches to both improve your mindset AND increase your practical skills when challenges arise.
You deserve a space where anything can come up - without judgment, without shame. You can expect a kind space. A real space. A space where you can say what's actually on your mind without needing to filter it. A space where you get to be the center of the story. And we'll check the facts together.
You Are Not Alone
Healing isn't a linear path - and it sure isn't something you have to figure out alone. In our work together, we'll gently start to unravel all of the noise in your mind and you will learn how to trust your intuition again.
I offer therapy for women and teenagers in Weber & Davis County (and other surrounding areas) who are navigating big feelings, complex pasts, and deep hurts. And my whole approach centers on one simple truth:
You are completely worthwhile and capable of change.
Let's work together! I can't wait to hear from you.
About Me
I graduated with a Bachelor's in Social Work in 2019 and a Master's in Social Work in 2023. I have worked in various settings, including juvenile probation, school social work, residential treatment for teenage girls, day treatment for adolescents, and teaching community prevention classes. I have been practicing individual therapy as a Certified Social Worker (CSW) since 2023, and hope to become a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) by 2027.
I have been married for almost 9 years and have two sweet kiddos. I love the beach, Halloween, and doing anything outside.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Who do you work with? What are your specialties?
I specialize in working with teenagers and adult women navigating anxiety, depression, PTSD, C-PTSD, low self-esteem/building self-confidence, borderline personality disorder, complicated family dynamics, relationship complexities, narcissistic abuse recovery, dysfunctional perfectionism, and religious trauma/faith crises.
2. What are your hours?
I offer hours that work well for people who have a lot going on during their daytime hours - whether that is a full-time job, being a full-time parent, etc. If you are looking for a late afternoon or evening therapy session, I am your gal!
3. Do you offer virtual or in-person sessions?
Though I believe in-person therapy sessions offer more connection, I am very open to telehealth for ease of access and availability!
4. I've never been to therapy. What can I expect?
We'll go at your pace! The first session is all about getting to know you - no pressure, no expectations. We will collaborate on what goals are most important to you and work from there!
5. Is this confidential?
Yes. Your privacy is protected. Everything we talk about stays between us (with a few legal exceptions).
6. Do you take insurance?
As an associate therapist I work under my clinical supervisor, and may offer sliding scale or reduced fees. Reach out to learn more.
7. What if I'm nervous or don't know what to say?
That's so normal. I create a space where you don't have to "perform" or "get it right." You can just show up as you are.
8. What if my family doesn't support me being in therapy?
That's okay. You're still allowed to choose healing, even if others don't understand it yet.
9. I think I'm dealing with emotional abuse. Is that something you help with?
Yes. We can talk through the signs, patterns, and help you find safety and clarity.
10. How long does therapy usually take?
It depends on your goals - some clients come for a few months, others longer. We'll check in often and decide together.
