Brooke Thingvold

My name is Brooke (they/them) and I am a pre-licensed couple and family therapist. I love working with LGBTQIA+ children ages 5 and up, teens, parents, and families. I aim to provide inclusive and affirming care for all people, and within that approach I have most experience in supporting those with neurodiverse identities, those seeking medical transition support at any age, adoption/family building, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD/C-PTSD), non-suicidal self-harm, suicidal ideation, and any history of trauma within the individual and/or family.

​ 

Every person and family needs support that is tailored to their therapeutic goals. I draw from de-colonized, trauma-informed, somatic, and intersectional approaches to create therapeutic structure. We can utilize interventions such as, but not limited to, sensorimotor regulation, radical acceptance, inner child work, and practicing new ways to safely communicate emotions. My goal is to get to know not just the client but the family, societal, and historical contexts in which they live.

​

My background is in family science research as well as family therapy. If applicable, I will integrate current knowledge on the neurophysiology of trauma and neurodiversity, as well as the impact that systemic oppression has on the mental and physical health of people from systemically marginalized communities. By centering growth and curiosity in the pursuit of staying up-to-date on family sciences, I hope to provide meaningful support through all life and family stressors.

​

I am also trained in SMART, a sensorimotor approach to working with children that includes attachment building, somatic regulation, and trauma reprocessing.
