Meet Your Coach

Overwhelmed?

You may feel exhausted by life and like one more loud noise, upsetting news story, or stressor will push you over the edge.  

Anxious?

You may spend a lot of time worrying about everything that's wrong with the world and your life, anxious about all the "what ifs".

Stuck?

You're tired of repeating certain life and relationship patterns, but it's hard to find your way to lasting change.

DO YOU FEEL:

LMFT

Brooke Nielsen

Life doesn't have to be so painful.

It's time you finally got the right type of support for you.

You don't have to keep jumping from self-help thing to thing, all while judging yourself for continuing to struggle.

If you're like most people I work with, you've never been the problem. You just haven't had the right type of support from someone who truly gets it.

i've been there.

I know the way through.

I used to think something was wrong with me.

17 years ago I suffered from crippling anxiety, overwhelm and self-doubt. Even simple tasks felt like a slog.

Through my own journey of understanding my sensitivity and becoming a licensed therapist, I've been able to help hundreds of HSPs dispel the stigma of sensitivity and regaining a sense of confidence and self-trust.

Over the last 15+ years, it's been an honor to watch HSPs who once hid in the shadows of life feel the confidence self-assurance to flourish.

"Working with Brooke has changed my life.

"This healing in myself has changed the way I interact with life, the way I interact with others and who I believe myself to be, all of this together is life-changing.

"You have also helped me to see this life journey as a journey of process and healing and not a destination of being "fixed". On the journey we carry all the things, the pain and the joy, that is as it is meant to be. I can not imagine my life without our work together, it has become foundational, deeply supportive and necessary. I do not feel I can express my gratitude deeply enough, or truly capture the value of our work in words."

- Joanna, IL

What my clients are saying

Chandra

"The work I've done with Brooke has changed my life."

I first went to Brooke as an anxious, highly sensitive empath. A text-book worrier. The work I've done with Brooke has changed my life. She is warm, compassionate, and her intuition is spot-on. Since working with Brooke I no longer consider myself an anxious person or a worrier. She's helped me find the warrior inside.

Michele

"Brooke is an insightful, caring and talented therapist and coach...she is truly an amazing human."

Her combination of warmth, compassion and knowledge of the Highly Sensitive Person makes her an expert in connection. Intuitive Warrior is an expression of her gifts and talents; so many will benefit from her work. She is truly an amazing human.

Christine

"I experienced a sense of empowerment and pride in being an HSP and feeling more prepared to go through life with a new set of skills."

With the name ‘Intuitive Warrior,’ Brooke highlights the strengths that we hold. I felt like I was given permission to be me .

It would be an honor to support you.

I offer transformative coaching and deep healing work.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between coaching and therapy?

There's plenty of overlap between therapy and coaching, but here are some distinctions:

Great topics for coaching:
  • I want to learn about the HSP trait and work through challenges like perfectionism, overwhelm, anxiety, etc.
  • I want to examine my current behaviors and break out of old patterns 
  • I’d like better boundaries in my relationships and to do less people pleasing 
  • I’m getting by, but I want to move towards thriving!

Better for therapy:
  • I want to address significant mental health issues like an anxiety disorder, major depression, suicidality, etc.
  • I’m actively struggling with addiction of any kind
  • I’m having trouble functioning day-to-day

I’m not sure I’m an HSP - should I still apply for coaching?

First off, did you know there's no official "diagnosis" of HSP? If you've found yourself here, my guess is that something is resonating with you- maybe it's our gentleness, our encouragement to fully embrace who you are, or the fact that our coaching is based on sound therapeutic training and experience.

You're welcome to apply for coaching with me, or if you prefer to be more conservative, reach out for a consultation call with Rebekah, our intake coordinator. We can help you get clearer about whether it sounds like you're an HSP and let you know whether we can support you in the ways that you're struggling.

Request your free consult call HERE.

What can I expect in a coaching session?

The first couple coaching sessions will involve you and I getting to know each other. I'll ask lots of questions to make sure I *really* understands you and what you're struggling with.

Then, together, we'll identify the results you want to see and the areas you'd like to focus on first  (ie. more confidence, less people pleasing, the ability to hold firm boundaries).

Moving forward, each session begins with a check-in and then moves into working towards one of your goals (which sometimes simply means talking about how life is going that week!).

How is coaching with Brooke different from other coaching? 

There are thousands of coaches out there and even a good number of HSP coaches popping up. Many of those coaches, however, don't have mental health backgrounds, trauma awareness, or a validated methodology that they're working from.  Professional experience and education matter when it comes to mental health.

I have 15+ years of experience as a therapist and coach.  Not only do I bring my Intuitive Warrior Methodology for supporting you as an HSP, but I come with a keen perception and an ability to get to the heart of the issue. People tell me that I feel safe, highly skilled, and like I'm able to help them understand and accept themselves in a way they never have been able to before. All of this lays a gentle foundation for powerful change.

How long does it take?

Your coaching is completely customized to meet your needs. 

If you're looking for time-limited coaching support, we can discuss focusing on 1-2 areas of concern over 5-10 sessions.

If you're looking to explore yourself more holistically, coaching can take anywhere from 3-9 months (though some people prefer longer-term support). The length completely depends on your coaching needs, which we can discuss at the outset and also as we go. 

Coaching with me is a dynamic process, and we get to explore how to meet your needs together. Ultimately, you're in the driver's seat, and I'm simply a guide to help get where you want to be.

- Angie

My life has truly completely changed. I now have more consistent energy, I speak up for my needs, and I value my sensitivity.

I've started to love parts of myself that I thought were at annoying or a nuisance. I'm much gentler with myself. I'm more trusting in myself and my intuition. I'm way more in tune with what feels natural for me. Thank you so much Brooke!

You deserve life-changing support.
