Brooke Reynolds
Brooke’s (she/her) approach is centered on a foundational belief in the innate wisdom and healing capacity of each individual. She takes a mind-body approach which seeks to understand the ways trauma and chronic stress can result in unconscious adaptive physical, psychological, emotional, and relational patterns which impact various parts of our lives. Through a combination of psychodynamic theory, mindfulness, and somatic approaches, Brooke works with her clients to gently identify and shift patterns which may no longer serve them. She believes healing happens in relationship, and that the therapeutic relationship should be a place of curiosity, safety, exploration, and trust in all that may come up throughout their work together.
Brooke has a background in international human rights, where she has worked to address systemic injustice and abuse both domestically and internationally. Because of this, her approach centers the ways power, identity, disenfranchisement, oppression, and conflict impact mental health on both individual and societal levels. Brooke believes we cannot be understood outside of the systems, societies, and communities we live in, and that social justice and individual wellness go hand-in-hand.
Brooke is a Clinical Trainee at Maverick Psychotherapy Group and is completing her Mental Health Counseling degree at Antioch University with a concentration in trauma. In addition to her studies at Antioch, Brooke is also currently training in Somatic Experiencing, a body based trauma resolution approach that she brings into all of her work with clients.
Sheila Shidnia
Sheila Shidnia (she/her) holds board certification as a music therapist and has undergone post-graduate training in Neurologic Music Therapy (NMT). Currently pursuing a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy at Syracuse University, Sheila's practice is enriched by her extensive background. Through her music therapy practice and NMT training, Sheila works with children and adults facing challenges such as impulsivity, disorganization, low frustration tolerance, and low self-esteem. She values music therapy as a medium that provides a unique mode of expression, transcending language barriers and nurturing an authentic emotional experience. Her approach is informed by ideologies that embrace a broader perspective beyond Western norms and cultural boundaries.
As she trains to become a Marriage and Family Therapist, Sheila understands the profound connection between healthy relationship and positive self-esteem. She skillfully guides individuals, couples, and families through transitions, facilitating deeper self-understanding and emotional exploration. Grounded in Gottman’s Couples Therapy and employing narrative and experiential models, Sheila unveils creative potentials and dismantles problem-saturated stories influenced by societal constructs.
Sheila's holistic approach draws from her own life journey as a classically trained pianist, an arts marketing professional, a parent, and her experiences growing up as a first-generation Iranian-American. Her personal struggles in navigating cultural and artistic acceptance have deeply shaped her perspective, highlighting the importance of recognizing our multifaceted identities. Sheila believes acknowledging these diverse facets empowers us to embrace vulnerability, cultivate resilience, and embark on a journey of growth.
