SOCIAL WORK/THERAPIST, MSW, CSW, LMSW
Brooke Erickson
Reaching out for help when life keeps on going is the first step to healing. I work with adolescents and adults in a telehealth platform to meet you where you are at. I am able to provide therapy to individuals, couples, and groups in Idaho and Utah and have extended hours to meet you exactly where you are at in your journey. My area of expertise is working with clients for the treatment of grief and loss, end-of-life and life transitions, disease prognosis and coping with illness, caregivers for children with disabilities, anxiety, depression, trauma, family disruption/conflict, and AFCC informed therapy.
From a strength's based and solution focused approach, clients are assisted with gaining awareness and insight into their experience of the situation and are guided to utilize their strengths and existing expertise to work through life/environmental stressors. I have specialized training in working with grief and loss and disease prognosis and adjustment.
I encourage you to reach out in your journey towards healing. You have already taken the first step in seeking therapy and moving forward. With the proper interventions and support, you can reach your goals, find healing and grow. You are resilient, you are amazing, and you can get back to the life you love and enjoy. I look forward to hearing from you.

Together, we work toward practical solutions for managing life’s challenges, improving relationships, and achieving meaningful goals. I have specialized training in behavioral interventions, challenging behaviors, chronic illness, disease prognosis, and adjustment to life changes. I believe that seeking support is a sign of courage and resilience. Whether you are facing a major life transition, coping with illness, navigating family challenges, or seeking personal growth, you do not have to do it alone. With the right support and evidence-based interventions, healing, growth, and positive change are possible. I look forward to the opportunity to support you on your journey.
