Welcome
Thank you for visiting SueBrekkaMFT.com. The purpose of this site is to give you more information about my therapy practice, my theoretical orientation (ie., how I work), and what you can expect from psychotherapy in my practice.
I work from an Object Relations Approach, which takes into consideration how your early life experiences with significant people (parents, caregivers) may be continuing to impact your current life and relationships. I specialize in helping people figure out what has brought them to where they are in their lives, and how to take what they've learned in therapy and put it into practice in their daily lives. No problem is too trivial, "normal", or extraordinary to be undertaken.
Psychotherapy is not for the faint of heart. Nor is it "just for sick people." It is a courageous endeavor that requires commitment and inner strength, to really look at where you came from, and to make a conscious shift in your thinking and behavior to help move your life into a better future.
In addition, I specialize in working with children and adolescents whose families are going through a divorce. Combining my training in child development and child/adolescent psychotherapy, with additional training in child custody mediation and evaluation, I am in a unique position to help kids and their families find stability, during unstable times. I will work with you and your kids to create a functioning, healthy new environment in which they can thrive and grow into healthy adults, mitigating the typical stresses of divorce.
