Dr. Brooks began his career in mental health and addictions counseling in 1992. Since that time, he has worked in inpatient and outpatient settings as varied as rural community clinics, hospitals, managing clinics in urban communities, directing an international employee assistance program, university counseling centers, and developing & managing treatment programs for executives and professionals. Populations he has served have been just as varied—addictions (both substance abuse and behavioral), mental health, individuals & families, adoption, indigent persons, athletes, executives, and professionals. He has held faculty positions at 6 universities and colleges in psychology and counseling programs.

Dr. Brooks earned his bachelor's in Psychology from East Carolina University, his master's degree in Rehabilitation Counseling and a master's in Substance Abuse Counseling from ECU. After working for a few years, he returned to ECU and earned a Certificate of Advanced Study in Employee Assistance Program counseling and later an EdS in Counselor Education. He completed his academic career at NCSU where he received his Ph.D. in Counselor Education & Supervision. Dr. Brooks worked full-time as a therapist while in school and brings a wealth of practical as well as academic experiences to his practice. His counseling style is based in the philosophies of Stoicism, existentialism and the work of Viktor Frankl's logotherapy using the theories of cognitive development and the tools of cognitive behavioral and rational-emotive therapies

We have good days and bad days. Or we can say we have growing days. Growing days are those occasions when we are challenged to learn, change, and improve our lives and the lives of those that are most important to us.

I specialize in working with individuals navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, grief and trauma. My approach is client-centered and collaborative. I create a safe, supportive environment for healing and growth. I earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Winston-Salem State University in 2007 and a Master's in Mental Health Counseling with a specialization in Behavioral Addictions from North Carolina A&T State University in 2012. Over 18 years, I've gained diverse experience across mental health settings. If you're facing a life shift, know you don't have to go through it alone. I'm here when you're ready to start.

Healing begins by reconnecting to what matters most. When facing pain or change, I help you slow down, listen inward, and release patterns that no longer serve you. I work with life transitions, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. My approach is collaborative. Healing happens when you feel safe and supported. We build strategies toward the life you want.

If you're ready to explore healing and growth, I'm here to walk alongside you with compassion. You don't navigate this alone. Your experiences deserve space to be held deeply with care and respect. When ready, please schedule an appointment. I look forward to supporting you as you move toward a life that feels more aligned, grounded, and authentically yours.
