What is a Healing Workshop
Local therapists Andrea MacGilpin and Emma Kate Freatman will be hosting a heartfelt workshop dedicated to honoring the memory of Brooke. This event is designed to support friends, family, and community members as they navigate the healing process after the loss of a loved one. Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in meaningful activities, including painting remembrance stones and contributing to a shared memory canvas. Everyone is encouraged to bring photos and cherished memories of Brooke to add to a special memory board. Together, we’ll create a space to reflect, remember, and celebrate Brooke’s life.

Andrea is a local therapist with extensive experience supporting teens, adults, and families through life’s challenges. Her work is grounded in empathy and tailored to each individual, using evidence-based approaches to help clients manage anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship struggles.
She has worked with adolescents in both individual, group and school settings. As a certified SPACE provider, I also support parents of children dealing with anxiety and OCD.
Trained in EMDR, she helps clients process difficult experiences and find healing. As a parent of three, she brings compassion, understanding, and a collaborative spirit to every session—offering a safe space to grow, heal, and thrive.
Hi, I’m EK, a therapist based in Wilton. I specialize in working with kids, families, and adults, with a focus on high schoolers dealing with anxiety, mood changes, family conflicts, transitions, and more. I’ve supported adolescents in private practice, as well as community outreach, schools, and hospital settings. Referrals often come for children experiencing anxiety, unsafe behaviors, or trauma.
My approach balances “being” and “doing” — being present and supportive while helping clients take actionable steps toward their goals. My style is rooted in empowering clients to manage stress, improve relationships, and advocate for themselves. I’m trained in evidence-based interventions, including SPACE for pediatric anxiety, OCD, ARFID, and “failure to launch,” as well as EMDR and CPT for trauma recovery.
