My name is Shannon Brooks and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with ten years of clinical experience. My approach is personalized and collaborative, drawing from techniques like CBT, DBT, and attachment theory. I specialize in helping individuals navigate challenges such as depression, anxiety, life transitions, and relationship issues.
My approach
I tailor interventions specifically to your needs and goals, drawing from a variety of approaches, including CBT, DBT, attachment theory, mindful self-compassion, and Solution-Focused Therapy. We explore how your early relationships and attachment styles impact your current behavior and relationships. This exploration can provide valuable insight into your patterns and help you build more secure and fulfilling connections. Additionally, I offer concrete tools and practices, including cognitive and somatic techniques, that can help you meet your therapy goals, whatever they may be.
My focus
I work with adults who struggle with low self-esteem, anxiety, and depression. My specialties include: working with individuals going through a life transition, expecting and new parents, people struggling with codependency, and single adults seeking happiness and connection outside of a romantic relationship.
My communication style
I strive to create an atmosphere that is both welcoming and empowering. I approach each session with a direct, authentic, and non-judgmental demeanor, ensuring that my clients feel heard, understood, and respected. My aim is to foster an environment of collaboration, where clients feel encouraged to explore their thoughts and emotions openly. Working with me, clients often describe feeling supported, challenged, and empowered to make positive changes in their lives.
My first session with you
The first session with a new client is an opportunity for connection, exploration, and setting the foundation for our work together. I ask questions to gain a deeper understanding of your background, experiences, and any factors contributing to your current struggles. This exploration helps us uncover underlying patterns and themes that may be influencing your thoughts and behaviors. I like to leave time for you to ask questions, seek clarification, or express any concerns you may have.
