I’m Brooke, a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate providing therapy to adults and teens under the supervision of Amy Salinas, LPC-S.
I started therapy as a client and found that not only were the skills and resources I was using effective, but the psychology behind them was fascinating.
In 2025, I earned my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Texas Tech Health Sciences Center. Since then, it has been my passion to create a therapy space that feels welcoming and reflective of who I am as a person.
Colorful Couch Counseling is a metaphor for bringing all types of people into the therapy space while helping destigmatize the traditional therapy experience that can sometimes feel intimidating or scary.
My hope is that sessions feel less like opening up to a stranger and more like having a conversation with a safe soul who is there to support you through life’s challenges.
With me, there’s room and acceptance for every story. Wherever you are in your mental health journey, it would be an honor to walk alongside you.
it’s me, hi.
my approach
Just like a good pair of shoes, I don’t believe therapy is one-size-fits-all. I personalize every counseling session by using evidence-based therapy modalities that fit your goals, personality, and mental health needs.
My approach includes, but is not limited to:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Person-Centered Therapy
Family Systems Therapy
It’s also important to me that you feel supported between sessions. That is why I offer optional resources and homework based on my clients’ goals. While this may seem daunting, I aim to make them realistic for your lifestyle and interests. Because no one wants to make time for something they don’t want to do.
Lastly, I know I’m not for everyone, and that’s okay! If you see me and think you might fit better with a different therapist or need more specialized care, I encourage my clients to tell me. The most important thing is that you get the help you’re looking for. I’m happy to try to connect you with another mental health professional who better suits what you’re looking for.
human me
As crazy as it might seem, I do have a life outside of being a therapist. My hope is that sharing a little about myself makes therapy feel less like opening up to a stranger and more like connecting with a real person who is here to support you.
When I’m not in sessions, I’m usually spending time with my husband, playing with my cats (who may make an occasional HIPAA-compliant appearance), or enjoying one of my many hobbies:
Gardening: I love growing our own ingredients and finding ways to turn them into meals.
Fitness: I’m an avid gym-goer with a background in marathon training, CrossFit, Olympic weightlifting, and my personal favorite, Peloton.
Food: I’m always looking for a new restaurant to try or an excuse to satisfy my sweet tooth.
The beach: If you can’t find me, there’s a good chance I’m at the beach. The waves and sunshine are my favorite form of ecotherapy.
Taylor Swift: Most importantly, I’m a passionate Swiftie. If you want to talk albums, Easter eggs, or theories, I’m your girl.
