Annie Brook,  Ph.D, LPC, MSME (ISMETA), Body-Mind Centering teacher, is a therapist in high regard in the Somatic community. Her unique experiential approach gets lasting results.

Annie understands families, development, and health, and has learned to help those in the most difficult situations, such as abused foster children, adopted children and their families, and gang youth.

She has worked as:
a therapist in public schools, Children’s Hospital Child Trauma centers in Oakland and Seattle, as former Director of Body Psychotherapy, MA Somatic Program, at Naropa University, and co-founded the clinic Colorado Therapies for 17 years.

Annie founded the Brook Institute for Somatic Studies and Psychotherapy in 2001 and trains therapists as well as offers classes. She blends psychotherapy, sensory-motor neuroscience/cognition, play therapy, early bonding attachment, Body-Mind Centering, cranial sacral, touch/movement education, and perinatal therapy to offer lasting results. Annie’s speciality is helping adults and children get to the roots of difficult behaviors by helping them to go back to the first impressions of life; unwinding the impacts of birth and post birth on their nervous system. Doing so allows a fresh approach and releases the roots of trauma.
