I want to support\nyou through it all. \n**Brooke Bendix\, AM\, LCSW**  is the founder of Therapyology and a Licensed\nClinical Social Worker who specializes in individual and group therapy for\nkids\, teens and adults. Brooke has over 16 years of clinical experience\,\ntraining\, and education in the field of social work and child development.
