Brooke Garren (she, her, hers) is an AuDHD (Autism and ADHD) and dyslexic Licensed Clinical Social Worker committed to treating individuals, couples and families navigating neurological differences. Brooke believes the dominant approach to ND (neurodivergent) care in schools and therapeutic approaches are at odds with ND affirming care and fails to understand the complexity of the individual and their unique differences. To mitigate this, Brooke founded Uniquely You Behavioral Health a multidisciplinary clinic that focuses on using a developmental approach to ND care. Brooke received her bachelor’s degree in social work from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. She received her master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Social Work from Washington University in St. Louis.
