A safe space to heal, grow, and come home to yourself

---

Hi, I'm Brooke Velozo, LPC and my journey to becoming a therapist started with an AP Psychology class in high school that lit something up in me I couldn't ignore. What began as curiosity about the brain eventually became a deep passion for understanding how both our biology and our experiences shape who we are.

I studied human development and family sciences before earning my master's in clinical mental health counseling, and I've had the privilege of working alongside people in community mental health in rural Appalachia, school-based settings, and inpatient care before finding my home in private practice.

I specialize in trauma, particularly childhood and relational trauma and I'm passionate about bottom-up, body-based healing. I believe that the nervous system holds our stories, and that true healing happens when we tend to the whole person: mind, body, and spirit. I use EMDR, Internal Family Systems, somatic experiencing, and DBT to help you do exactly that. 

 As an AAPI woman, I understand firsthand the unique challenges that come with navigating identity and mental health in a culture that doesn't always make space for it. I am deeply committed to providing a space where you feel fully seen and understood.

What I love most about this work is witnessing the moment a client realizes they are capable of change, that they can reclaim their power. It is my greatest honor to hold space for that.
