About

Hi, I'm Brooke.

Brooke Belong, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Westlake Village, CA
Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist

Warmth, Honesty, and Care That Fits You

I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Westlake Village, offering in-person sessions in the Conejo Valley and virtual therapy throughout California. I work with adults navigating life transitions and relationship challenges, and with adolescents and young adults during some of life's most formative years.

My style is warm and collaborative. I bring my full self to every session, which means there's room for humor, honesty, and the messy middle. Therapy here isn't about performing wellness. It's about actually building it.

I earned a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Sonoma State University and a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from Pepperdine University. My experience includes school-based counseling in the Malibu Unified School District, an intensive outpatient program for adolescents at Engage Treatment, and my own private practice in Westlake Village.

My Approach

Therapy That's Built Around You

I draw from a range of evidence-based modalities and adapt to what each person needs, not a one-size-fits-all framework.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Identifies and reshapes thought patterns that drive anxiety, avoidance, and distress, building practical coping skills along the way.

Acceptance & Commitment Therapy

Builds psychological flexibility by helping you accept difficult emotions and act in alignment with what matters most to you.

Strength-Based Therapy

Centers your existing resilience as the foundation for growth, rather than focusing only on what's broken or stuck.

Humanistic Therapy

Grounded in the belief that you are the expert on your own life. My role is to listen deeply and walk alongside you.

What I Believe

The Values Behind My Work

You Are the Expert on Yourself

My job isn't to tell you who to be. It's to help you access what you already know and build from there.

The Relationship Is the Work

Research shows the therapeutic relationship is the strongest predictor of good outcomes. Connection comes first.

Progress Is Nonlinear

Growth doesn't happen in a straight line. I honor the messy middle and help you find meaning in setbacks too.

Cultural Humility Matters

I am committed to ongoing learning about identity and systemic forces that shape mental health. Your whole self is welcome here.
