Brooke Bury, MCP, RCC
I believe deeply in the power of connection and the core value it holds in the human experience. Connection to self, to others and to anything that leaves us feeling a sense of belonging. Fundamental to the quality of our day-to-day experiences, these connections are how we navigate changes within and around us.
Connections are foundational for young people, and they are pivotal during the adolescent and young adult years. The immense growth that occurs during these stages of life brings chaos and uncertainty to both their internal and external worlds, and this can feel confusing, daunting and lonely. They don’t yet have the brain capacity nor the emotional literacy to navigate this chaos alone so understanding, support and guidance are crucial during these most transformative years. Their wellness and their futures depend on it.
With 20 years of experience working with youth and families with complex mental health concerns, I’ve seen again and again how easily relationships become fraught with conflict and misunderstanding. Often this is due to the miscommunication of unmet needs. With compassionate support, we can become aware of our needs and learn how to protect and communicate them. This, in turn, can lead to healing and repair in our relationships.
Through a person-centered and trauma-informed approach, Brooke integrates evidence-based practices, including emotion-focused therapy and dialectal behaviour therapy, to support and guide clients through emotional learning and making sense of their inner experience and relationships.
