Stephanie Brooks

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.

Hope, confidence, and a better understanding of themselves.

Watching clients step into their own growth is one of the most fulfilling parts of this work. Learning to do difficult things is often a part of that growth. Seeing clients gain the confidence and belief in themselves to bring about positive change makes my heart happy!

Painting/coloring, crafting, and listening to audio books.

I have always been intrigued by the field of psychology and mental health. Learning how our experiences, thoughts, emotions, and behaviors all interact is quite fascinating!

I wish everyone knew that mental health is just like physical health....we all need regular check-ups and, occasionally, a little extra help when we don't know how to fix it ourselves.

I had the most helpful and amazing therapy session with Stephanie Brooks this past week. I went into therapy one way and left another. I got real and useful tools,  answers , and solutions to an issue that’s been driving me crazy for awhile now. I really connect with Stephanie as a therapist ,and I feel hopeful for the first time in a long time.
