Brooke welcomes the opportunity to collaborate with clients to develop realistic solutions and it is her hope that you will feel supported, encouraged, and empowered to make the changes you desire in your life. Brooke hopes to develop a therapeutic relationship that allows you to flourish both individually and relationally.
In working with adolescents, parents can expect to be involved with their child’s treatment. Whether that is attending family sessions, learning parenting skills to implement at home, and/or providing feedback to the therapist. Positive outcomes are more possible when the family system is involved with the adolescent’s therapeutic process.

Mika Gross, M.S. – Parent Educator and Coach
mika@wichitafamilycounseling.com
I am so glad you found Wichita Family Counseling! After 30 years of family systems work, I am most passionate about 3 areas:
- Parent education and coaching – I love coming alongside parents as they continue to commit to whatever it takes to help their children grow up well. I believe in the spirit of all the parents I work with, and I use positive coaching techniques combined with solid, proven tools/curriculum to help parents succeed. I can help you work with any parenting issues, and I specialize in harder areas like ADHD, Anxiety, Anger Outbursts, Sensory Issues, and Parent-Child Reintegration. Check out my site dedicated to parenting support, also offering some group parenting classes: www.theparentsplace.com
- Co-Parenting Support – I support co-parents at all stages in their important co-parenting journey. It can be difficult sometimes – and your kids are worth it! I work with parents individually or together, and have a high success rate in this work. I specialize in high-conflict areas, in step and blended families, and I also love working with parents early on in separation to help avoid conflict.
- Family Business Coaching – I enjoy this very different and complex area of my work because it uses all my skills in working with families along with my skills from my business career. I coach individual family members as well as whole families who are working in business together. I also support non-family leaders of family-owned businesses to navigate this very complex space and gain success.
