E. Brooke Martin, LCSW
Clinical Director and Therapist
Brooke is a Licensed Clinical Social worker. She graduated with her Bachelor’s and Master’s degree from Missouri State University, where she currently supervises practicum students. Brooke has been a therapist since January of 2015 and has been trained in EMDR therapy since 2016 and neurofeedback since 2023. In this time, she has worked in non-profit, medical, and private practice settings and discovered her passion for working towards healing in a more holistic manner that incorporates mental health, nutrition, physical health, and other parts of an individual into their treatment. Brooke specializes in working with adults who have been diagnosed or suspect that are neurodivergent. This includes adults on the spectrum, those with ADHD, or those who may have tendencies of both. Additionally, Brooke specializes in working with trauma by utilizing EMDR therapy and also incorporates other body movements into her trauma work such as walking, vagus nerve exercises, and more. Brooke has a family of her own ranging from toddlers to a teen and loves getting to spend time with their adventurous spirits. In their free time, Brooke and her husband enjoy business coaching, completing remodel projects together, and being a part of their church community. ​ Brooke loves seeing her people begin the process of learning to handle life's challenges with her help and growing in their ability to handle them on their own.
Leah Musacchio, MSW Intern
Intern Therapist
Leah is currently in her practicum and finishing up her Master's degree in Social Work at Missouri State University and will graduate in May. Leah spent 18 years of her life living abroad and understands the challenges individuals and families face during those times of transition and times spent adjusting to and living in a new culture. This experience makes her an expert in working with third culture individuals, missionaries, and military families. She is also passionate about marriage and the family unit and seeing families thrive. Each individual in the family and marriage unit plays an important role, and understanding how they all work together and navigate those relationships can take time. Whether you’re an individual or a family unit, Leah would love to sit with you and sort through your thoughts and help you navigate life's challenges so you can live a happy, fulfilling and balanced life. No matter where your life has brought you, Leah wants to make sure you feel heard and understood so you can live to your full potential. She has been married for 9 years and together they have two children. She is a major foodie in all senses of the word, she loves cooking, eating and researching food! She also loves being outdoors and is inspired by nature and the beauty that it holds. She loves spending time with her husband, family and friends.
Ashley Perryman, LPC
Therapist
Ashley earned a Bachelors in Psychology and Elementary Education from Drury University in 2004 and graduated in 2006 with her Masters in Counseling and Family Therapy from St. Louis University. As an LPC and a certified teacher the last 17 years, we cannot imagine that there are many children's therapists who have devoted so much of themselves to helping children succeed. Ashley is very familiar with child development, the ever-growing stressors our children are facing, is trained in TF-CBT for trauma work, has performed educational testing in schools and worked with whole family units. Ashley has helped individuals, does exceptional marriage counseling and family therapy, and has led therapeutic groups. In addition to working in the public school system, Ashley comes to us with a wide variety of skill sets from her work with the Lost and Found Grief Center, where she provided individual grief counseling and a grief group. Most recently, she utilized an online platform to begin her private practice therapy career, prior to joining MBC. Outside of work, Ashley loves spending time with her family. Her family interests include playing sports and enjoying the outdoors. She is always on the go and enjoys learning and experiencing new things.
Cassandra Minnick, LPC
Collaborating Clinician
Cassandra would be considered a veteran EMDR clinician in this area and she is on her way to becoming an EMDR consultant, which we cannot be more thrilled for! Cassandra is an expert in working with individuals with chronic trauma and also consults with parents as well as educational systems to help provide individuals the best care. ​ MBC's owner has not only had the pleasure to work alongside and learn from Cassandra since 2019 but Cassandra was an integral part of MBC's history. Prior to Cassandra starting her own practice, she was a co-owner and one of the founding member of our practice. We will always be thankful for her contributions to our company and our community. ​ Due to her extensive knowledge of EMDR, DBT, and attachment, our providers still collaborate with and consult with Cassandra. If individuals call looking for her or if we feel she would be a better fit, we will gladly refer them to her to ensure they are in the best hands!
