I am a Jungian psychotherapist working with individuals and couples using psychodynamic, emotion focused, and family systems therapy techniques. I often work with clients who are struggling with finding deeper meaning and purpose in life. Many are successful by society’s standards but feel a deep sense of loss or lack of fulfillment inside. I help individuals bring awareness to unknown underlying patterns that have long driven their decisions and behavior. By removing these obstacles and making the unconscious conscious clients can bring awareness to their own life force so they may move toward becoming the person they truly are meant to be and living a more fulfilling life.

I am passionate about support and therapy for caregivers because truth be told, it is often those who take on the weight of the world for others who could use someone to listen and provide trusted guidance. It can be even more of a challenging when you are Highly Sensitive.

Whether you’re struggling with stress, anxiety, self-doubt, grief & loss, or other factors that weigh heavy on the heart, I am here to support you.

My approaches to therapy for caregivers and individuals who are Highly Sensitive are customized based on your unique situation and needs. This might be me listening to you share your stories. It might be providing guidance or teaching you useful coping skills. Together we will work through the right approach to guide you down the path of healing and well-being.

(970) 460-8015 | SafeHavenFamilyTherapy@gmail.com | http://www.SafeHavenFamilyTherapy.com

As an HSP myself and a mother of a HSP, I intimately relate with the intense challenges and beautiful blessings that comes with this identity.

I am a compassionate and deeply authentic therapist serving individuals, couples, and families, joining my clients on every step of their journey. I strongly believe that you know you and your relationships best. I am simply there to offer support and tools to help you achieve the life you most desire.

I tailor my therapeutic approach to you and your needs, never assuming that your lived experiences, challenges, or needs are the same as anyone else, especially as a HSP. Through this integrative approach, I support clients facing concerns with living joyfully as an HSP, relationships (including with couples, friends, and family) conception/pregnancy/postpartum, sex/sexuality, anxiety, depression, stress, grief/loss, faith/spirituality, burnout, and parenting.

You may interact with life a little differently, but what isn’t different is that you do not have to face life’s ups and downs alone. I am here for you and look forward to getting started on your journey to healing!

Brooke Nielsen, MA, LMFT

If you are highly sensitive, deeply thoughtful, and experience life intensely, I offer a safe and non-judgmental space where you can freely express yourself. Although high sensitivity is a relatively common trait that affects around 30% of the population, it can often feel like a burden in your personal and professional relationships, and in your daily life.

But you don’t have to suffer alone. With my support, we can work together to help you develop the skills and awareness you need to thrive. I use evidence-based practices such as EMDR and Internal Family Systems to address trauma and stuck places in your life, and my support is gentle, kind, and affirming.

No matter what you’re going through, know that there is always hope for healing and growth. If you’re ready to take the first step towards a more fulfilling life, contact me for a free consultation.

My style is warm, down to earth and compassionate, as well as deeply intuitive and insightful. I use a variety of approaches in addition to talk therapy, including: Brainspotting; EMDR; Body Centered; Meditative approaches and Hypnotherapy.

My specialties are: Helping people overcome repetitive stuck patterns; Trauma; PTSD and Spiritual growth.

I am passionate about working with HSPs. While focusing on women with trauma, depression, and anxiety it became obvious that many were highly sensitive (HS) people who felt traumatized as children. They were often belittled because adults accused them of being too sensitive, overexaggerating, or trying to cause problems. They may have been teased by other children for their sensitivity. For a HS child, this teasing and punishment affects them more deeply than others, and they become HS adults who live with shame and feelings of inadequacy.

Understanding your HS nature will change your life as an adult. As an HSP myself, I love nothing better than to help people learn to appreciate and care for who they are.

As a therapist in mid life, through much work on myself, I have recently discovered that I have been a Highly Sensitive Person my entire life! Looking back on my childhood and young adult experiences, thru the lens of a Highly Sensitive Person, I have realized that everything now makes sense! The sensitivities to loud noises, bright lights, and medications, the need for deep thinking and connecting, being empathic to other’s emotions, being deeply moved by music and spirituality are all attributes in which I identify. I appreciate the gifts HSP’s bring to life!

If you have recently discovered your HSP trait, I would be honored to walk along with you as we reveal your strengths and challenges in all areas of your life.

I have over 25 years experience as a licensed professional counselor. By taking the time to really understand my clients, I am able to customize the strategies that best enable you to reach your goals. I utilizes an intuitive holistic approach which addresses the mind, body, and spirit connection.

I work with adults addressing issues of anxiety, depression, grief, codependency, loneliness, life transitions, including divorce adjustment (before, during, and after), spirituality, and finding your soul’s purpose.

I accept most Health Insurance and Employee Assistance Program benefits.
