Brooke Polakowski, LMSW
Brooke is a Licensed Master Social Worker who provides individual therapy for teens, young adults, and adults in the Macomb, MI area. She earned her Master’s degree in Social Work from Saginaw Valley State University in 2021, with a minor in Youth Services, and has experience in both school-based mental health and clinical counseling settings.
Brooke is especially passionate about working with young adults ages 16–30 as they navigate the many challenges and transitions that come with adolescence and early adulthood. She works with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, school-related challenges, family changes, and major life transitions. She also has a strong passion for supporting veterans and helping individuals build resilience through difficult experiences.
Brooke takes a warm, welcoming, and strengths-based approach to therapy, meeting clients where they are and helping them build the tools and confidence needed to move forward. She believes therapy should feel collaborative, supportive, and personalized to each individual’s unique needs and goals. Known for being a strong communicator with an open-minded and approachable personality, Brooke values creating a space where clients feel safe, understood, and comfortable being themselves.
Her inspiration for becoming a therapist began early in life. Brooke always knew she wanted to work in a helping profession, and after having the opportunity to shadow her mother, who is also a social worker, she knew this path was the right fit for her. She continued on to earn her Master’s degree and ultimately became a clinical therapist dedicated to helping others heal and grow.
Brooke enjoys bringing humor into sessions when appropriate and believes genuine connection can be an important part of the healing process.
