Her clinical experience includes a high-school, a residential treatment center, and DU's mental health clinic. 

Brooke realizes first-hand that life can be messy. She is passionate about helping others, specifically young children and families navigating their unique challenges, whether that be psychological or emotional difficulties, or needing parental support or guidance. Brooke's therapeutic approach is collaborative and person-centered, including techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Synergetic Play Therapy, and Trauma-Informed Therapies. Brooke wants to meet her clients where they are developmentally, emotionally, and inter/intra-personally. She is interested in working with children and families of all backgrounds and diversities. Her interests in the field include but are not limited to: divorce and blended families, trauma, life-transitions, behavioral problems, anxiety, attachment, and more. She hopes to continue incorporating mediums in her sessions that allow her clients to express themselves in ways they feel most comfortable.

Brooke utilizes play therapy in her practice, believing that children’s most natural form of communication is play. She also believes in empowering the parent and the family system as a whole. Brooke hopes to walk alongside children and their families while advocating for their needs.

When Brooke is not working, she enjoys time with her family, friends, and her two puppies, Cooper and Tucker. She teaches yoga, loves to try new restaurants and shop for vinyls. Brooke’s favorite way to recharge is by cooking a new recipe and curling up on her couch. 

Brooke is currently accepting new child, family, and adult clients at the Dallas location. To schedule an in-person or virtual appointment with her, please email bbadger@DTAcare.com.
