Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience as a trauma-informed therapist. With clinical expertise in trauma, life transitions, and grief and loss, I have discovered the value of noticing body sensations that accompany thoughts, beliefs, and past and present experiences. From moment to moment, our bodies signal how we relate to the stimuli within and around us. This acute awareness will allow you to maneuver life’s hurdles with more ease.
Too often, our focus is narrowed on the negative beliefs we have about ourselves, that we can’t see the larger picture, including our strengths. To expand our view, I often encourage mindfulness and self-compassion in therapy sessions; these practices coupled together can mobilize healing, increase our ability to manage distress, and expand our resilience.
I believe individuals are the experts on their experiences, and have the innate ability to navigate life challenges and transitions from a place of personal empowerment and resilience. Collaboratively, we will explore options for creating a meaningful life.

Brooke Lesley is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Oregon with 12 years of experience practicing as a trauma-informed therapist. She holds licensure to practice as a clinical social worker in both Oregon and Utah and brings a decade-plus of clinical work focused on supporting people through significant stressors and life changes.

Brooke emphasizes noticing the body sensations that accompany thoughts, beliefs, and both past and present experiences, because moment-to-moment awareness of bodily signals can clarify how someone is relating to internal and external stimuli and make it easier to navigate life’s hurdles.
In session she often blends mindfulness and self-compassion practices to help mobilize healing, increase distress tolerance, and broaden resilience. Brooke views each person as the expert on their own life and works collaboratively to explore options that support meaningful, empowered change.
Many people wonder whether remote therapy can truly help. For a range of common concerns – including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and navigating life transitions – research and clinical experience indicate that online therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person care.
A major benefit is flexibility. Clients can choose the format that fits their needs and comfort level – video sessions, phone appointments, live chat, or in-app messaging – which makes it easier to integrate therapy into a busy schedule and stick with the work.
All therapists offering online services are licensed professionals, and if the therapeutic fit is not right a client can switch providers. For many people, the combination of professional clinical support and adaptable access makes online therapy a practical option for addressing common mental health and relationship concerns.
