Meet Brooke! Upsider Therapy's Newest Therapist

Hello! My name is Brooke Phelps and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and graduate of Columbia University School of Social Work. Throughout my years of clinical practice, I have had the opportunity to work with diverse clients facing many of life’s challenges. I have experience with depression, anxiety, life-transitions, grief and loss, relationship issues, work stress, or most recently, learning how to navigate the new normal in 2020.

By creating a safe, non-judgmental and collaborative environment, I will work with you to prioritize your goals for therapy and help you achieve them by building insight, coping tools, and self-empowerment. I have training and experience in a number of treatment modalities including behavioral and psychodynamic therapies, which allows me to create truly individualized therapy plans that work for you. I am a firm believer that mental wellness is an active, life long journey. It can be hard work to identify and overcome patterns or barriers that hold you back from being your best self, and my goal is to build upon your strengths, confidence, and resilience to feel your best, no matter what life throws your way. 

Here are three fun facts about me:

-        I can’t go a day without The NYT Crossword

-        I have been to all seven continents

-        I’m a proud UMD Terp! 

I am really looking forward to starting your journey in therapy together. If you are ready to begin therapy, please feel free to reach out to Brooke@UpsiderTherapy.com. I look forward to working with you!
