"Without having the Triangle of Self balance of the Mind, Body and Spirit, one has not truly aligned oneself.”-Ebony Brushbreaker, PhD, LCSW
Dr. Ebony Brushbreaker is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, who graduated Summa Cum Laude from Colorado State University with a Bachelor’s in Social Work. Prior to working in Social Services, Dr. Ebony served in the United States Army for eight years and received an Honorable Discharge as a Staff Sergeant stationed at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, in the 1st of the 159th Aviation Brigade. After obtaining her Master’s in Social Work (Summa Cum Laude), she began her journey in the Medical Social Work field. For over 12 years, she worked with geriatric clients and adults with complex medical conditions in various settings including, Long Term Care, Hospice, and Home Health. She recently obtained a PhD in Health Administration and Health Care Leadership with honors (Summa Cum Laude) and is committed to increasing access to medically necessary services. In addition to clinical work, she served as a Regional Director of Social Services in the Long Term Care discipline.
An enrolled member of the Sicangu (Rosebud) Lakota Sioux Tribe of South Dakota, Dr. Ebony is a strong advocate for mental health services in the Native American/Indigenous population. Her culture, upbringing, and lived experiences have informed her clinical work, where she believes in cultivating the Being of a person from not only the physical side, following the medical model of treatment, but with an awareness of inner Spirit. She believes in her traditional ways and her culturally informed treatment is wholistic, empowering, and sensitive to the BIPOC (Black, indigenous, and people of color) experience. Her approach to mental health and wellbeing is eclectic and incorporates elements from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), expressive arts, structural, and solution focused therapy.
Dr. Ebony works with individuals (age 13+) and families with a wide range of clinical concerns, including depression, anxiety, substance abuse, history of sexual trauma, grief, adjustment to aging, adjustment to chronic illness, and end-of-life issues.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
