Good therapy goes beyond simply teaching skills or delivering a cookie-cutter intervention. Halina Brooke is a licensed associate counselor and marriage and family therapist in Arizona who works with those who have felt like “outsiders” or who conventional therapy hasn’t quite gelled for, and with those who are often pushed aside from healthcare because of the complexity of their recovery process.
Whether a person is struggling with autism, neurodivergence, minority groups or more, it can make recovery from disordered eating even more challenging to navigate. Halina is here to bring awareness to the fact that there is help for you, even if you feel excluded, even if you have had traumatic or unhelpful therapists in the past. You are not alone.
In this episode we explore topics such as healing from “bad therapy”, affirming neurodiversity, inclusivity, brining play into the therapy space, managing panic attacks, and the importance of reaching out in times of distress.
She also is passionate about creating community and support for clinicians who also feel like they don’t really “fit the mould” of conventional therapists.
