Dr. Brooke Marshall

I truly believe that choosing to prioritize your own or your child’s mental health is one of the bravest and most meaningful decisions a person can make. Whether you are reaching out as a parent or for yourself, can feel overwhelming. Even finding the right therapist can feel like a daunting first hurdle. I am genuinely glad you are here and taking this step. In this stressful, busy world, my hope is to make this process easier for you.

Opening up to someone new can be challenging. When beginning therapy for teens, it can feel especially intimidating to trust someone with their thoughts and emotions. For parents, it can be painful and confusing to watch your child struggle and not know how to “fix” it. As adults, it can be just as challenging to slow down, reflect, and allow yourself the space to be supported, or even to admit that you are struggling in the first place. I strive to create a confidential, supportive, and accepting space where you can feel safe enough to be yourself, explore your experiences, and begin meaningful healing.

I’m committed to working with children, adolescents and adults navigating a wide range of emotional, behavioral and life challenges. Many clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, disconnected or unsure of how to move forward. Concerns may include anxiety (such as panic attacks, social anxiety or phobias), depression and mood disorders, personality disorders, attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD) and executive functioning difficulties, trauma and PTSD, grief and loss, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and challenges related to life transitions.

With teens specifically, I have a passion for supporting concerns such as school avoidance, academic pressure, peer relationships, bullying, identity exploration, low self-esteem, emotional regulation difficulties and family conflict. Additionally, my expertise is in addressing more complex concerns, including self-harm, suicidal thoughts, substance use, eating disorders and behavioral challenges.

My work with adults often focuses on stress, burnout, relationship concerns, career or life transitions, parenting challenges, unresolved trauma or breaking habits and patterns that are no longer work. My aim is to collaborate with my clients to better understand themselves, improve emotional awareness and create more meaningful, values-driven lives.

My credentials

I earned my doctorate in Clinical Psychology (Psy.D.) from the University of Indianapolis, where I also completed my Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology. My education included clinical experiences across a variety of settings and ages, including private practice, residential treatment, a therapeutic day school, and juvenile justice systems. I received intensive training working with youth and families involved in complex systems of care, and collaborated closely with schools, probation and child welfare agencies. These experiences helped me connect with and support people at every stage of life.

My approach to therapy is integrative, drawing from a range of evidence-based modalities such as Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI), that are tailored to each individual’s specific needs. In our first sessions, we will discuss current difficulties, collaborate on goals and determine the best approach for you or your child. My goal is to meet you where you are.

When it comes to your teen, this often means building trust at their pace and helping them develop practical coping skills and emotional insight. In working with parents, this involves collaboration, guidance and tools to strengthen connection and communication at home.

For adults, it may look like exploring patterns, building resilience and working toward lasting, meaningful change. I am not what we psychologists call a “blank slate” therapist. I will enthusiastically support you, celebrate you, and laugh with you, while also holding space for the difficult topics and reasons you decided to seek therapy in the first place.

No matter where you or your family are starting, you don’t have to navigate it alone. If you believe that I may be a good fit for you or your child, I welcome you to reach out.
