Brooke Brantley-Gilbert, MA, LPC, NCC

Everybody needs someone to talk to that they can trust.

After many years working in the Child Welfare System in Michigan, I earned a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Eastern Michigan University. I am a fully licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Michigan and a Nationally Certified Counselor. I am also the founder of Aspire to Wellness Counseling.

I believe that Counseling is a process built on a trusting and working relationship. I believe that individual and couples counseling provides a safe and confidential space to explore life’s challenges and transitions. I am skilled at developing the therapeutic relationship authentically, compassionately, and without judgement. Change comes from within, and I'm dedicated to respectfully supporting you on your journey in exploring your challenges and realizing your personal goals holistically.

I am experienced in working with mood and anxiety disorders, substance abuse and dependency concerns, parenting and relationship challenges, transitional life changes, grief and loss support, and anger management. Multicultural factors can influence how we respond. I am competent in cultural differences and am always prepared to provide individually formulated therapeutic interventions to best meet my client’s needs. I utilize an integrative approach to therapy that highlights person-centered, motivational, and mindfulness and relaxation techniques, Cognitive Behavioral approaches, and strength-based modalities.

If you are ready to work toward a deeper connection with yourself and other, you're grappling with major life decisions, you're trying to find ways to increase your wellness, or you need support in parenting, reach out. I would be happy to work with you!
