New Changes Coming to Brooke Martin Counseling!!!

Beginning June 1, 2023, Brooke Martin Counseling, PC will be transitioning to becoming a 100% virtual teletherapy business. These changes come with an exciting addition in services. I will also begin offering nature based (walk and talk therapy) services to the Dubuque community!

Do you ever find yourself scrambling to find time to fit in your counseling appointments due to time constraints with work, travel or weather related issues, or lack of daycare for your children? Do you find sitting in a therapists office to be intimidating, intense, or confining? Telehealth offers the convivence of attending your therapy appointments from the comfort of your own home or office. More and more clients are finding teletherapy to be an excellent alternative to in office services. Evidence shows that telemental health counseling is just as effective as the standard face-to-face therapy approach and is becoming a preferred method of service delivery for many.

In addition to virtual teletherapy services, I will also be offering nature based therapy services in the Dubuque area. Dubuque has many beautiful locations to hold your outdoors sessions such as parks, trails, and forest area settings for those who want to get outdoors and incorporate movement into your therapy journey. There are numerous benefits to holding your therapy sessions outdoors. Being in nature has been proven to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, increase energy levels, enhance creative thinking and problem solving, and reduce feelings of being stuck in your emotions. Walking while engaging in therapy also increases relaxation, openness, and ones ability express themselves more effectively. Taking your therapy outdoors can also help to foster healthy lifestyle changes into your therapy goals. Not interested in walking during your sessions, no problem! There is always the option to find a quiet and peaceful location to sit and enjoy your session outdoors without the walking.
