Hi, I’m Brooke Malensek LPC, a licensed therapist passionate about helping students navigate college life with confidence and clarity. College can be exciting—but also overwhelming, stressful, or even isolating. Whether you’re feeling anxious, unmotivated, stuck in patterns that aren’t serving you, or just need someone to talk to without judgment, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it all out by yourself. I specialize in helping students manage: Stress, anxiety, and burnout ...
I approach therapy from an empathic, non-judgmental and supportive stance that encourages a collaborative relationship between client and therapist. The needs of my clients dictate the specific approach or skills I utilize, but I draw from a variety of theoretical orientations, including psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral and relational. In my private practice I provide individual psychotherapy to adults, including college students, to help them work through difficult experiences, make positiv...

I offer 60 minute sessions and specialize in half day therapy retreats. A therapy retreat is an efficient and comprehensive pathway to heal trauma in consecutive days instead of over many years in weekly therapy, and can accelerate symptom relief. I utilize evidence-based modalities such as EMDR, Progressive Counting, and the Flash Technique to effectively heal the roots of distressing emotions and negative beliefs stored within traumatic memories. I bring my passion for somatic psychology, t...

I view therapy not only as a means of reducing emotional distress but also as an approach to personal growth. However, I believe that therapy should not be a way of life and I therefore support clients in developing concrete skills, with emphasis on working with emotions: promoting a better understanding of emotions and emotion regulation. I view therapy as a collaborative process of exploration. I bring to this process an attitude of compassionate curiosity and non-judgment. I also draw on...
