About Us

 Heather has over 12 years of experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor and is the owner of Heather Brooke, LPC, llc and Clinical Director of Built to Recover.

At the age of 10, Heather developed a hair pulling disorder called Trichotillomania. She spent many years praying for God to take it away and spent years angry with him for not doing so. However, in 2018, God gave her pain purpose when she was inspired to write the first children's book on the market for the disorder. "Where's My Hair? A Trichotillomania Story for Children," went on to earn her The InspireU Network's "Children's Author of 2023". It was during her unprepared acceptance speech that this ministry was born. As she shared her story and said for the first time, "God gave my pain purpose". That phrase went on to become her platform as she competed for Miss Tennessee for America 2024, where she placed 2nd runner-up and Miss Tennessee for America 2025 where she placed 1st runner up. Heather gave her life to Christ as a middle school student in 8th grade but wasn't Baptized until her sophomore year of high school. She rededicated her life to Christ privately in 2018 and publicly in February 2024. 

Heather holds an AA in Business and BS in Psychology from University of Phoenix and MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Adams State University. She is a member of the National Board for Certified Counselors, Colorado Counseling Association and Marquis Who's Who. Heather is also a Best-Selling Author and was the contributing resource and clinical summary provider for "Reigning Resilient Queens: You Are Not Alone".

Maria started experimenting with drugs in middle school, but by the time she reached high school, addiction had completely taken control of her life. 

She graduated as an addict and spent three years in bondage, believing addiction would always define her; until she encountered Jesus at 20 years old. 

He didn't just help her overcome her addiction; He radically healed and delivered her, giving her new life that she could never have found on her own. 

Mariah has maintained her recovery by staying in God's presence through worship and by allowing His Word to renew her mind and rewire the way she thinks, replacing the lies she once believed with His truth.  

"My recovery may be unconventional, but it is a testimony to the transforming power of Jesus Christ. As 2 Corinthians 5:17 says, 'Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come'. That verse isn't just something I believe, it's the story of my life."
