Intern

Hi, I’m Brooke Pratcher, a counseling intern and graduate student at Xavier University, working toward my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I believe therapy should be a welcoming, supportive space where individuals and couples can explore their thoughts, emotions, relationships, and sexual well-being without fear or shame. My approach is warm, client-centered, and culturally aware, with a focus on helping people navigate intimacy, desire, and connection.

Whether you’re exploring your sexual identity, working through challenges with arousal, or untangling shame-based beliefs around sexuality, I’m here to support you. I’m passionate about fostering healthy communication, enhancing intimacy, and helping clients build confidence in their relationships and themselves.

Therapy is a collaborative process, and my goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered. No matter where you are on your journey, we’ll move at your pace to help you develop the tools for deeper self-awareness, fulfilling relationships, and a more satisfying sex life.

Some areas of specialized focus include:

  • BDSM
  • Communication
  • Consensual Non-Monogamy/Ethical Non-Monogamy/Polyamory
  • Erectile issues
  • Fetishes
  • Gender identity
  • Kink
  • Low libido
  • LGBTQIA+
  • Navigating sexual trauma and healing
  • Painful sex
  • Performance anxiety
  • Pleasure enhancement
  • Purity culture
  • Religious guilt/ trauma
  • Sexual anxiety
  • Trans-affirming care
  • Women’s pelvic pain and sexual health
  • Vaginismus/vaginal pain

I am particularly passionate about helping clients navigate challenges around intimacy, self-discovery, and relationship dynamics. Together, we’ll work to cultivate confidence, connection, and a deeper understanding of your authentic self.
