Brooke Dybka
Brooke Dybka was born and raised in San Diego, CA and obtained her bachelor’s at the University of California Santa Barbara. In 2010, Brooke joined the Army as an Information Technology Specialist. During this time, her interest in veterans’ mental health grew as she worked alongside many fellow vets suffering with addiction, PTSD, eating disorders and other issues. While in the service, Brooke obtained her Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy from Northcentral University, got married and became a mother.
Brooke’s graduate and post graduate training was primarily in school settings with children and teens, navigating complex family dynamics that contributed to behavioral issues at school. Brooke also has extensive volunteer experience in the eating disorder and addiction recovery communities as a group facilitator and mentor. In 2017, Brooke was introduced to the Internal Family Systems model and has been a passionate believer and practitioner ever since, completing her IFS Level 2 training and becoming a Certified IFS Therapist through the IFS Institute.
In 2020, Brooke moved to Idaho Falls, ID and discovered a large need for clinicians who treat eating disorders, addictions and other diagnoses from a trauma-informed lens and not the traditional, pathologizing “medical model” stance that continues to harm these individuals. Therefore, in 2021, Brooke launched Dybka Behavioral Health, an IFS-based mental health practice to meet the increasing needs of the community.
In addition to IFS, Brooke is an advocate and believer in the research and healing properties of plant medicine. She loves snowy landscapes, documentaries and long, creative days indoors.
