Brooke Cerak, LMFT

Brooke is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with a Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy from East Carolina University. As a therapist, Brooke is relaxed, encouraging, and collaborative. She enjoys working closely with her clients to establish meaningful goals and develop practical, effective skills for daily life.

Brooke is passionate about helping individuals, couples, and families(including adolescents ages 12+, college students, and adults) navigate life’s challenges. She works with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, OCD, adjustment disorders, life transitions, stress management, relationship and marriage issues, identity exploration, family of origin issues, and trauma. She is also experienced in supporting members of the LGBTQ+ community and survivors of sexual abuse.

Brooke draws from several evidence-based modalities, including Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Her approach is rooted in solution-oriented thinking, and she believes in equipping clients with real-world tools they can use outside of sessions.

She specializes in helping clients reframe challenges, whether it’s managing anxious thoughts, handling conflict, or navigating personal growth. Brooke teaches clients how to shift their self-talk, build confidence, and set healthy boundaries. She finds joy in supporting people as they discover new perspectives and develop a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships. Her ultimate goal is to create a safe, encouraging space where clients feel empowered to grow, heal, and thrive.

Outside of her work as a therapist, Brooke enjoys reading, writing, playing volleyball, and spending time with her husband and their dog. She loves traveling to new countries and learning about different cultures, always seeking opportunities to broaden her perspective and connect with others.
