Brooke Madera

I love working with passionate people, whether their energy manifests as anger or intensity, and helping to redirect that energy into positive motivation. I specialize in stress and anger management, fertility issues, and substance use disorders, with extensive experience in addiction recovery through both inpatient and outpatient settings. This work has taught me how to stabilize crisis situations and create momentum when clients feel stuck. My versatile background includes experience with the military, trauma, domestic violence, parental coaching, anxiety, dual diagnoses, and stress management. I firmly believe in a person-centered therapy approach, drawing primarily from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT) to meet individual needs. By using skills-based therapies and mindfulness approaches, my goal is to empower each person to discover their own best path.

I am a fierce lover of books and traveling and thrive on finding hidden places everywhere I visit. I am energized by helping others find creative ways to engage with people and their environment. My time out of the office is spent chasing (or transporting) kids, wrestling with dogs, stumbling into adventures, and trying to converse with my husband over all the chaos.
