About Brook Algarin

From the outside you look like you have everything figured out. You are working, raising kids, going to school, have friends and family. On the inside you feel like there is something missing, your are reminded of all the times that you failed or scenes from the past that remind of when you were not good enough or when you felt out of control. You feel exhausted from years of trying to keep it together and keep moving. You are tired of putting your guard up and pretending like everything is ok and that you are strong. No more fighting against yourself and feeling exhausted. Let’s talk about what change looks like.
You want to feel at peace, relaxed, and enjoy life’s moments. You have worked hard for the life you have and want to live it without scenes from the past tearing you down. You have heard people talk about “self love,” “work life balance” and “living in the moment,” and actually want to know what that is like. You want to put the past behind you.
Let’s talk about how things can change.

“Awesome”

“I felt comfortable opening up almost immediately. Very understanding and very accommodating to my schedule. It was beyond helpful to have someone to talk to that was willing to not only listen but help give suggestions on ways to get better. Could not have asked for a better counselor.”

“Brook is very understanding and attentive. She listens to everything but can really identify what is the true problem and gives great advice and steps to solve it. She's a great person.”

“I love how she sounds warm although we are only communicating by texts. There is that certain nice vibe.”

“I have been talking with her for a few months now and have opened up a lot more that I thought I would originally. I do feel comfortable talking about pretty much everything and feel respected. She is still offering me ways to help when I am having issues and makes me feel like she legitimately cares about my concerns.”

“Brook is an amazing counselor, she listens, suggests options, and is truly an objective sounding board for my pain. She has helped me cope with several issues, and I always come away from our meetings feeling empowered and ready for the next step.”

“Brook is lovely to talk to and asks thoughtful questions and gives helpful homework. She is helping me work through my issues in a way I could never have thought of on my own, without forcing me into crisis mode. Working with her feels like we are doing challenging work together.”

“I felt really comfortable talking to Brook straight away. She made me feel at ease and doesn't make me feel like my problems are silly. Her help and ideas are really useful. Thank you Brook!”

“Brook Algarin helped me with practical ways to calm myself when anxious which were very helpful. I also found the live chat sessions very supportive and useful. She’s a great counsellor.”

“She shows an interest in trying to help and listens to everything I say. Always makes me comfortable talking and has gotten me to open up.”

“My counseling sessions with Ms. Brooke have been wonderful so far! She has been a great light during a very dark and difficult time. She is a great listener and is very supportive. I would recommend her to anyone.”

“She really listens and is very empathetic. I feel like I can tell her anything. I know she will always get back to me.”

“To have someone that helps you put things into the right perspective is priceless and she is doing a great job so far. I am really loving it.”

“She is very understanding and makes me feel very comfortable discussing different topics with her. I have opened up more than I thought I would and every time I talk with her, she makes me feel more comfortable. She sends messages all the time asking how I am doing and checking on me.”
