Brooke Barker

Brooke Barker, Graduate Student in CMHC Supervised by Marie Luna, LPC-S

I am a Clinical Mental Health Counseling graduate student at Texas Tech University, and I am passionate about working with children, adolescents, and adults from all walks of life. I strive to create a safe, compassionate, and collaborative space where clients feel seen, heard, and genuinely valued. I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship is the foundation for meaningful growth, and I aim to foster an environment where individuals feel comfortable exploring their thoughts, emotions, and experiences.

My approach to counseling is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused techniques. Through CBT, I support clients in identifying and reframing unhelpful thought patterns, building emotional awareness, and developing practical coping strategies. I also incorporate Solution-Focused approaches to help clients recognize their strengths, clarify their goals, and take small, intentional steps toward meaningful and lasting change.

I have a strong interest in supporting individuals managing anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Whether you are navigating stress, changes in relationships, academic or career pressures, or personal challenges, I work alongside you to build resilience, increase confidence, and develop tools that support your overall well-being. My goal is to help you feel more empowered in your daily life while creating sustainable growth that aligns with who you are and who you want to become.

Brooke will begin seeing clients on June 1st, 2026.

Coaching Versus Therapy

 

These are two VERY different experiences.  You get to choose what serves you best in your life today.

As a therapist, Bethany listens and uses evidence-based approaches that she's learned in school and in trainings.  It's such valuable work.  We dive deep in the trauma and the pain of the past, and we explore different ways to frame and shape those experiences.  As a therapy client, you will gain psycho-education and knowledge of current research-based practices and be challenged to implement changes in your thoughts, feelings and actions.

As a coach, Bethany is a mirror: reflecting and channeling.  She is a vessel and uses her energetic responses and embodied experiences to support you.  As a coaching client, we focus on upleveling your experience through energetic, embodied practices, accessing your consciousness through accessing the collective healing of the Universe.

Bethany is the same person, but these are two VERY different healing experiences she uses to support you.  As a therapist, Bethany does not discuss religion or spirituality without prompting; however, as a coach, our entire work is focused on accessing the energies of the Universe and ourselves.

Artistic Truths

 

The logo of Phoenix Moon Healing is in the shape of a moon to signify our connection to the earth and our spirit animals.  It is a call to remember to access the parts of us that the world has quieted with its structure, rules and bullshit.  A call to howl at the moon and access our aligned self that is raw and vulnerable, to bring the yin and the yang of the feminine and masculine energies.  The phoenix signifies our constant evolution, becoming and unbecoming, all the same and all different.  The phoenix is our steady energetic signature of strength as we activate and access our highest self.
