Meet Brooke Clavesilla

Brooke Clavesilla is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who provides individual psychotherapy via Telehealth. She enjoys working with women, Black Indigenous People of Color (BIPOC) and change-makers.

Her approach to therapy is integrative, holistic and trauma-informed. Brooke prioritizes creating a safe and empowering environment while drawing from various therapeutic modalities and weaving mind-body practices into her work to support you as you heal. You’ll find her to be open, warm, and genuine, holding space for you to feel seen, understood and accepted. Through her anti-racist and anti-oppressive lens, she acknowledges and examines the impact that systemic racism and oppression has on the physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual well-being of our communities.

During your initial visit, Brooke will ask you some questions, and you both will get to know each other. A typical therapy session with her looks like you coming into therapy with what you would like to talk about and trusting that you’ll get to where you need to be. Through collaboration, you will work together to ensure that you’re moving towards meeting your goals.

 

What would your clients and colleagues say is your therapist superpower?

I think they would say my intuition is my therapist superpower. I have the ability to see beyond what my clients share with me and help them reconnect with their own intuitive power.

 

What is one thing that you have learned through your own therapy?

One of the most important things I’ve learned through my own therapy is meeting myself where I am with acceptance. It’s easy to get ahead of yourself and want to see immediate changes, but I’ve learned that change takes time. When I accept myself where I am, the healing process unfolds naturally at a pace that works for me.

 

What was your path to becoming a therapist? What inspired you to choose this profession?

Being of service to others has always been important to me. In high school, I took a liking to my psychology and sociology classes and was intrigued by human behavior. I enjoyed them so much that I continued to study the subjects in college. It was then that I began to awaken to myself and the way my life experiences and environment had shaped me. I found a deep passion for working with survivors of domestic violence and doing prevention and social justice work. After attending graduate school and working various jobs, I realized the route I had chosen in my career as a social worker wasn’t for me. This propelled me to turn my attention inward and do some deep soul-searching. I was burnt out and had no idea who I was or where I was going in life. I started going to therapy and created a regular yoga and meditation practice. This facilitated so much healing in my life that I decided to become a licensed therapist and certified yoga instructor to empower other women as they heal.

Therapy Styles

Short Term (Solution-focused, etc.) 
Ideal for those who are coming in with a specific problem they’d like to address and gain clarity on. Typically, short term therapies are present focused and do not dive deep into your past.

Structured
Structured therapies are goal and progress oriented. Therapists may incorporate psychoeducation and a specific “curriculum.” In order to stay on track, therapists may provide worksheets and homework.

Insight-oriented (Psychodynamic, Existential, etc.) 
Exploring the past and making connections to present issues can help clients gain insight. Getting to the root of the issue and finding deeper self-awareness can help with long-term change.

Non-directive (Humanistic, Person-centered, etc.)
Going with the flow and seeing where it leads.

Behavioral (CBT, DBT, etc.)
Focuses on changing potentially unhealthy or self-destructive behaviors by addressing problematic thought patterns and specific providing coping skills.

Trauma Focused (EMDR, TF-CBT, etc.)
Recognizing the connection between trauma experiences and your emotional and behavioral responses, trauma focused therapy seeks to help you heal from traumas.
