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.

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.

Hi, I'm a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) dedicated to providing compassionate, affirming, and evidence-based care. I work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, stress, identity exploration, and self-esteem concerns. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply looking for support and personal growth, I provide a collaborative, nonjudgmental space where we can work together to help you build resilience, gain insight, and create meaningful, lasting change.

My approach is collaborative, culturally responsive, and tailored to your unique needs. I integrate CBT, DBT, solution-focused therapy, and person-centered techniques to help you build practical coping skills, strengthen emotional resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change. Together, we'll work at a pace that feels supportive and empowering.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to navigate life's challenges alone. I believe healing begins with feeling seen, heard, and supported. If you're ready to invest in yourself and create meaningful change, I'd be honored to walk alongside you on your journey.
