Brooke Niemietz, LPC-A
Supervised by Ashley Buckmore, LPC-S
Brooke received her Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor with a special focus in human sexuality, somatic- and attachment-based treatments, and lifespan studies. She has worked with children, adolescents, adults. She also has experience helping individuals as well as children and their families with Anxiety and Stress, Autism Spectrum Disorder, effects of Divorce, Life Transitions, and Trauma, and Self-Esteem.
Brooke strives to create a safe and supportive space for clients to express themselves and believes that people of all ages are worthy of being authentically known, just as we are all fully known and loved by God (Psalm 139:1). She knows firsthand how play and humor are not only inseparable parts of our humanity but also powerful expressions for reviving the heavy spirit.
Brooke’s therapy approach stems from a Person-Centered and Cognitive-Behavioral lens, and combines elements of solution-focused, sand tray, and play therapy modalities. These techniques are thoughtfully selected as a way to communicate with the child in their natural language (play) while teaching new ways of behaving and thinking. Brooke enjoys collaborating with adults in therapy to provide encouragement and therapeutic structure tailored uniquely to each person’s circumstances. It is an honor to be a witness to your life story!
