Brooke Fitch-Collins, Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor

If you’ve found your way here, you’re likely exhausted. Maybe you’re navigating the "newness" of parenthood and feeling like a stranger in your own body. Perhaps a traumatic birth, the heavy fog of postpartum depression, or the constant hum of "what-if" anxiety has made it hard to feel like the person you used to be. You’re probably tired of being told to "just enjoy every moment" when, in reality, you feel like you’re just trying to keep your head above water. I want you to know that you don’t have to perform "wellness" with me. In our sessions, you can show up exactly as you are—tired, overwhelmed, or even a little bit skeptical. I’m not a therapist who just sits back and nods silently; I’m a real person who shows up with you. My style is warm and down-to-earth, and I’m here to be a partner in your healing, not just a clinical observer. What Working Together Looks Like We won't just talk in circles about how you feel. We’re going to look at the whole picture: how your body is feeling, how you’re sleeping, and how your past experiences might be showing up in your present life. Because traditional talk therapy can sometimes feel like it only scratches the surface, I often use a specialized approach called EMDR. Think of it as a way to help your brain "file away" difficult or traumatic memories that feel like they’re still stuck in the "active" folder. It’s a gentle but powerful way to take the sting out of a scary birth experience or a painful past, helping your nervous system finally feel like it’s safe to relax. Whether you are trying to conceive, navigating the postpartum "trenches," or trying to heal from a trauma you’ve carried for years, my goal is to help you find your footing again. You deserve to feel like yourself—not just a version of yourself that is "getting by," but one that feels whole, capable, and at peace.

As a solo practitioner, I offer a highly personalized experience that starts the moment you reach out. You won’t be navigating a large clinic or a rotating staff; you will be working directly with me. This allows us to build a deep, consistent therapeutic relationship where your story is known and held with care. My practice is grounded in the understanding that the mind and body are not separate. Because I specialize in the "Biopsychosocial" side of health—looking at how your physical health and your mental well-being impact one another—our sessions often go beyond traditional talk therapy. Whether we are utilizing EMDR to process a difficult medical event or birth trauma, or simply exploring how stress is showing up in your body, we work to heal the whole system. A Space for "The Helpers": I frequently work with fellow healthcare providers, educators, and "the caregivers" of our community who need a confidential, expert space to process their own secondary trauma and burnout.
