Brooke Dumain, LCSW (She/Her)

I graduated from Columbia School of social work in May of 2009 after serving two years in the Peace Corps in Kingston, Jamaica where I worked at SOS Children's Village. My time there working with youth who were separated from their families inspired me to go back to school to pursue my master’s degree in social work. After graduating for Columbia, I worked at Jewish Child Care Association in Mental Health and Preventive Services, with children and families with complex mental health and case management needs. I was a supervisor in a preventive program working to stabilize families and avoid out of home placement. I then became a therapist for children in treatment family foster care, working with children with extensive trauma histories. I approached each of these clients with a trauma informed lens. I worked as the Director of the Children’s Program at Sanctuary for Family treating children and families who are survivors of gender based violence, as well as individuals who have been bought and sold in the commercial sex industry. I am an expert at working with families who have suffered both acute and chronic trauma.

Through all of this work I have become painfully aware of the structural racism that impacts our society. I have worked to understand my own power and privilege as a white woman and have made it a priority to work from an anti oppressive, anti racist lens with all of the clients that I serve.

I aim to foster an open and supportive environment where all people can heal from trauma. I use a strengths based, client centered, trauma informed approach to meet clients where they are and begin their journey to healing. We are all healing and growing every day and I will be a partner in this journey. You are the experts of your own lives, I will walk with you.

I am licensed clinical social worker with over a decade of experience. I live in Brooklyn with my husband and two children. Being a parent has been my greatest teacher.
