About Me
Brooke Harker Small, MA, LPC, SEP, CST Therapist
​
Welcome. I’m Brooke.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, certified sex therapist, and long-time student of the interior world—the nervous system, the unconscious, the stories we inherit, and the patterns the body remembers long after the mind tries to forget.
My work centers adults navigating developmental trauma, religious and spiritual wounding, attachment patterns, relational challenges, and the longing to reconnect with their own aliveness.
I've had the privilege of accompanying people through deep transitions—those sacred threshold moments where the old ways no longer fit, and the new hasn’t yet fully arrived. I support clients in reconnecting with their bodies, reclaiming their intuition, and integrating their sexuality, spirituality, and sense of self in ways that feel honest and grounded.
My approach is warm, intuitive, relational, and deeply somatic.
I draw from:
Somatic Experiencing®
Somatic Touch therapy
EMDR
Depth psychology and archetypal perspectives
Trauma-informed sex therapy through a somatic lens
Attachment theory and nervous system regulation
I believe that healing unfolds when we make space for what your body has been holding, when we welcome emotion rather than fear it, and when we gently reconnect with the parts of you that once had to go quiet to survive.
My work is less about “fixing” and more about remembering—returning to the deeper, wiser self you were always meant to inhabit. It would be an honor to walk alongside you.
Frequently Asked Questions
What can I expect in a first session?
Our initial session is a gentle beginning. You don’t need to prepare anything. We’ll explore what brings you in, what you’re wanting for yourself, and what your nervous system needs to feel grounded. You’ll get a sense of my style, and we’ll begin mapping what your story and body are asking for. There is no pressure to disclose anything before you’re ready.
Do you only use somatic approaches?
Somatics is the foundation of my work, but not the whole of it. Many sessions weave together body awareness, depth psychology, relational dialogue, spiritual inquiry, and practical tools. We go at your pace, and we use the modalities that feel most supportive for your system.
What issues do you specialize in?
I support adults navigating:
-
Developmental and attachment trauma
-
Religious trauma, deconstruction, and spiritual transitions
-
Nervous system dysregulation, chronic overwhelm, or burnout
-
Sexuality, desire, and intimacy concerns
-
Shame, boundary struggles, identity shifts, and relational patterns
-
Complex trauma and the “places you feel stuck"
​
If your experiences feel layered, nuanced, or difficult to explain, you are in the right place.

How long does therapy take?
Therapy is not one-size-fits-all. Some clients work with me briefly through a specific transition; others engage in longer-term depth-oriented work. We collaborate to determine the pacing and duration that best supports your healing and goals.
Do you accept insurance?
I am an out-of-network provider, but I can provide superbills for clients who wish to seek reimbursement from their insurance. Many clients also choose to pay privately for confidentiality and flexibility in their care.
What is your cancellation policy?
I ask for 24 hours’ notice for cancellations. Without that notice, the full session fee is charged. I understand that life happens, and we can always talk through extenuating circumstances together.
Are sessions virtual or in-person?
I offer in-person sessions in Colorado Springs and virtual sessions for clients across Colorado and Utah.
How do I know if we’re a good fit?
Fit matters. If you value depth, curiosity, embodiment, and work that honors both the mind and the nervous system, we will likely be a strong match. A consultation can help you feel into the connection and ask any questions you may have.
