Stephanie Brooks
MSW, LCSW
- Let’s be honest—life can be a lot. Whether you’re juggling stress, navigating a plot twist, or just trying to remember where you put your keys (again), therapy can help. I offer a space where you can exhale, untangle the mental knots, and maybe even laugh a little along the way.
My approach is strengths-based and integrative, which is a fancy way of saying: I see you as a whole person, not a walking diagnosis. I blend evidence-based practices with holistic wisdom, trauma-informed care, and a healthy dose of curiosity. We’ll explore what’s working, what’s not, and how to move forward with more clarity, compassion, and maybe fewer existential spirals.
With over 20 years of experience in the mental health field, I have worked with a variety of issues and populations. I work especially well with folks who appreciate insight with a side of humor. If you're looking for a therapist who’s warm, collaborative, and not afraid to say “let’s unpack that,” I might be your person. More Information
