Brooks Canaday, MA, LPC

Brooks Canaday is the owner of Core Constellation Counseling, LLC.

Hi, I'm Brooks. Talking about things that you might feel ashamed of or distressed by can be tough, but I believe these experiences deserve to be understood with deep compassion and that facing them head-on is the way forward.

Are you overwhelmed by disturbing intrusive thoughts that seem too terrible to talk about? Do you ever feel powerless to stop using pornography? Or are you grappling with how to authentically live your masculinity in an increasingly complex world? If you identify with any of these struggles, please know that you are not alone and that you can find your way to greater well-being.

Imagine feeling less burdened by distressing intrusive thoughts and compulsions, going through your day with a sense of serenity and a clear conscience, or feeling more secure and authentic in your masculinity. Feeling better can sometimes seem impossible, but I believe that no matter where you have been, you can change where you are going.

I utilize empirically validated approaches including Exposure and Response Prevention, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help you come to better understand yourself, learn new skills, and connect with more fulfilling and engaging ways of being that align with your core values. I hope to help you on your own unique path to growth and meaning.
