Brooke Lederer

I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and graduated in 2014 with my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Denver. I operate from a systems perspective, meaning that while I work with people individually I take into account what it means to live within the larger systems (family, community, political, religious, etc.) they are a part of. I have experience working with adolescents, adults, parents, and families in crisis settings and five years of experience working in wilderness therapy. Since my time in wilderness therapy, I have grown my private practice by working with diverse adults in the comfort of their own homes via telehealth and in person at a holistic therapy collective in Durango Colorado.

I believe in each person’s ability to thrive mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually and wish to support my clients in building skills to access their own resiliency and capabilities. I utilize a strengths-based systems approach, evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and incorporate mindfulness and somatic practices into my sessions.

I utilize a client-centered approach so that each session is catered to meet your individual needs and goals. Most sessions will incorporate cognitive processing with mindfulness, and somatic grounding skills, and I will support you in incorporating these skills into your everyday life. I bring compassion, patience, honesty, and direct feedback to my relationships with my clients to support you in interrupting unhealthy patterns and leading you towards living in alignment with your own values.
