Hi there! My name is Dr. Brooke Rundle (she/they). I am a LGBTQ+ affirming counselor based in Denver, Colorado. I utilize a trauma-informed, evidence based, and holistic approach to therapy. I am passionate about supporting clients with the life-long process of self-discovery, healing, and empowerment. When working with me you can expect to acquire skills and gain new insight to become the most authentic version of yourself.
I identify as a queer, non-binary, White, able-bodied person. I provide counseling to support individuals with identity formation, gender and sexuality exploration, body-acceptance, coming out, life transitions, healing relational wounds, family dynamics, religious trauma and spirituality, recovery, anxiety, depression, grief, internalized oppression, and all issues related to sports and performance.
Theoretical & Clinical Orientation
My approach to talk therapy is person-centered and strength-based using an intersectional and social justice lens. I incorporate elements of Internal Family Systems (IFS), Psychodynamic Therapy, Person Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Somatic Therapy.

Outside of Work
I live in Denver, Colorado with my wife and dog Stevie Budd. I enjoy traveling, camping and skiing in the Rocky Mountains, and surfing when I can get to a beach. Quality time with friends over good food, gardening, listening to live music and reading fantasy books are how I like to spend my free time.
I am also passionate about LGBTQIA+ advocacy in the world of sports. As a former collegiate and professional athlete, I have served as a consultant for several LGBTQIA+ advocacy organizations including the Sport Equality Foundation, the Equality Coaching Alliance, Athlete Ally, and the Trevor Project. I volunteer as one of the Educational Program Leaders for the Sport Equality Foundation. I speak regularly at conferences on the importance of LGBTQIA+ inclusion in sports including the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) Time to Thrive Conference, the Association for Applied Sport Psychology Conference, the American Volleyball Coaches Association Conference and the Pac-12 Health Equity Summit.
