Professional statement

Sharon Brooke "Brookie" Uy is a licensed marriage and family therapist (#113109) and board-certified art therapist (#21-359) with 11 years of experience working with individuals who are in the middle of becoming: seekers, creatives, and the spiritually curious who sense there's a more aligned version of themselves waiting on the other side of this particular stretch of road.

Her work draws on art therapy, sensorimotor psychotherapy, Internal Family Systems (parts work), mindfulness, and somatic approaches--not as a fixed protocol, but as a living, responsive toolkit she brings to each person's unique inner landscape. She also offers psychedelic integration for those processing profound or mystical experiences, drawing on her training through CIIS's certificate program in psychedelic-assisted therapies and research.

Brookie works entirely virtually with adults throughout California. She brings warmth, humor, deep presence, and a genuine belief that underneath whatever has brought you here, your true nature -- peaceful, whole, already enough -- is always there waiting to be remembered.


Message to clients

Hi! If you're reading this, chances are you're feeling stuck trying to figure out who you are or who you aren't, what you want and what you no longer need, and you want to free up precious energy that's been, for way too long, spent suffering. You've had enough, and now you're willing to show up, bare yourself, and in turn, be seen and heard, validated and challenged. I am committed to providing a safe place where you can let it all out, and where I can help you uncover new tools, dust off old ones, and build a solid foundation for positive and lasting change.

I believe in our inherent ability to recognize and access our true nature as one of peace. The work of going inward is by no means a cakewalk, but that doesn't mean there can't be laughter and even fun (seriously!) along the way. There can be comfort in knowing that underneath all of the mind muck that we've inherited and created, our true nature continues to be, and is always there for us, ready to be uncovered. I also believe that through mindfully moving the body and the process of creating intuitive art, as well as, alternatively, through observing what happens (or wants to happen) in stillness and silence, we have a greater chance of living more from that place of peace.
