Welcome! I’m Wendy Brooks.

My journey into psychotherapy began as I worked through my struggles with anxiety, depression, and trauma. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I earned my M.A. in Psychology from the University of Massachusetts Global. I feel fortunate to have gained experience in various settings, including community health clinics and non-profit mental health practices in Northern California. I enjoy working with adult clients, helping them process their past, face current challenges, and find solutions to help them realize their preferred future.

I'm passionate about how therapy has changed my life, and I hope it can do the same for you. My approach is person-centered and collaborative to create a safe space where you can express your thoughts and feelings free of judgment. Life is difficult at times, and change can feel overwhelming. I look forward to walking with you on this journey.

I provide a compassionate, insight-driven, and client-centered approach, tailored to your unique needs. I’m here to support you on your path to healing, drawing from emotionally focused and attachment-based therapies, with the integration of CBT techniques as needed.

Being a therapist and helping people overcome feelings of isolation and conflict is one of my life's greatest joys. I specialize in helping individuals, families, and couples work through depression, anxiety, grief, and relationship issues. I also provide critical assistance through domestic violence and rape counselling. It is important to me to help patients along on their journey through professional, evidence based counselling.

Do you struggle with feeling like you belong? Are you carrying hurts and wounds from your family of origin or other close relationships? Do you wonder about your purpose and the meaning of your life? Or maybe you have worked hard on yourself throughout your life, but still struggle to connect with others or lead a life that has intention and meaning. I would be happy to meet with you and hear more about your situation and what you believe is blocking you. Together we can explore what holds you back and create a plan to engage your life in a way that feels more purpose driven and connected to your unique soul.

I am an LCSW and Alcohol and Drug Counselor with 13+ years of experience working with a variety of populations, including the United States Armed Forces. I provide a safe, supportive space for adults to explore what is really going on in their lives. Together, we address professional burnout, relationship strain, boundary challenges, potential substance misuse, anxiety, depression, and spiritual exhaustion in order to make meaningful change in your life!

The human experience is unique, and the path to living the life you want begins with exploring how your thoughts, feelings, and experiences impact your life. Our therapeutic alliance creates opportunities to learn adaptive coping mechanisms to better challenge and confront stressors, process painful experiences, and empower you to live a values-based life.

Each therapy is different and has its own approach, so we will collaborate and find the best fit for your needs. Some of the modalities I utilize include Jungian Therapy, Parts work (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Art Therapy, and Sand Tray Therapy to deal with stressors, improve self-worth, build resiliency, and assist you in maximizing your potential. I welcome the opportunity to support you on your journey, which honors your experience, and creates healing.

I use a strength-based, holistic approach that emphasizes mindfulness and recognizes how trauma affects behavior and development. I prioritize your needs and encourage partnership when establishing and meeting your treatment goals.

I offer a nonjudgmental, client-centered approach. I'm patient and respect the time it takes to build trust. I believe words are powerful and help clients shift language patterns that feed negative thinking.
