Brooke D. Sitzmann-McLoughlin , Psy.D.
About

I began private practice at the Pathway Center for Psychotherapy in August of 2005. My past experience consists of treating adolescents and adults in a number of settings, including: college counseling centers, inpatient psychiatric hospitals and in-home settings. Currently, practicing in an outpatient setting allows me to work with clients who are interested in improving their quality of life. Psychotherapy can help clients experience a renewed sense of strength and meaning in their own abilities to improve their life and relationships. My goal is to utilize a supportive and collaborative therapeutic style to help transform and resolve individual’s difficulties. If needed, I am able to facilitate consultation and psychiatric services for clients who need additional care.
