About me
Currently my therapy plans are focused on female clients only. The foundation of my therapeutic approach is a combination between Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy with an implementation of Creative Arts. My sessions are forward focused in which the treatment plan is focused on areas of growth. With that said every treatment plan created is personalized for the individual based on their needs, wants and symptoms. Therefore, additional therapies are at times added to treatment if needed for specific symptoms or by request. Such as treatments for trauma or phobia. Additionally, my therapy is not limited to present and future, but having a mentally stable present and future is the overall goal. A good portion of sessions are revisiting the past and understanding how different habits, patterns and coping mechanisms were created. Once those discoveries are made and acknowledge the process begins to reshape them into healthier habits, patterns and coping skills.

I have been in therapy for less than a month with my therapist Cherish Brooks, and I must say that I'm already feeling better. She has the perfect balance of professionalism, mixed in with compassion, and she is so easy to talk to. She has helped guide me to solutions to problems that I could not figure out on my own. She also has helped me manage difficult emotions that were causing me so much grief and anxiety. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is going through a difficult time in life.
