Hello there. I'm Brooke and I'm so glad you're here!
A therapist, educator, and advocate who creates space to be understood, accepted, and empowered.
The outer world is challenging to navigate, and your inner world feels chaotic and confusing. It can be difficult to find someone who understands your struggles. My passion is to hold space for the most beautiful people I know who are struggling because of the weight of labels, disability diagnoses, exceptionalities, and unhelpful solutions from well-meaning but misguided sources of help.
I created Inclusive Minds Counseling to be a sanctuary for people who have neurodivergent or differently-abled minds who need a place to become more fully themselves. You are the expert of your life but often hear messages that you are different, peculiar, deficient, disabled, or need a diagnosis. Therapy has become about behavior modification or teaching skills to become “normative” when you are NOT broken or abnormal. I work with you to reclaim your autonomy and become confident in making decisions for yourself. Here, you are understood and we will build a relationship together where you can feel safe to be fully yourself. We will work together to find helpful solutions based on your inner wisdom and the beauty of how your brain functions best.
You belong here, and I can't wait to meet you!
Brooke Patterson, MT-BC, M.Ed., MA, LPC, NCC, CAIS, ACAS
Professionally, I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC), a nationally certified counselor (NCC) and an advanced certified autism specialist (ACAS). I also am a board-certified music therapist (MT-BC) who has worked with kids, teens, and adults for over 22 years. I hold a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling (MA) and a masters degree in special education (M.Ed), both of which I earned at the University of Northern Colorado. Additionally, I am also a canine-assisted intervention specialist (CAIS) which I earned from the University of Denver, am certified in Psychedelic Therapy and Integration (PTI) and a certified behavior interventionist. Incorporating my diverse and extensive training, therapy with me is experiential, emotion-focused, creative, authentic and individualized.
Personally, I am a Colorado native who enjoys fly fishing, riding horses, hiking, fostering shelter dogs, and spending time with my spouse, three children, three bearded dragons, one hedgehog, one tree frog and FIVE---yes FIVE--dogs. I would describe myself as down to earth, intuitive, a life long learner and someone who is forever inquisitive about relationships, perspectives and the never ending mysteries of life and love.
