Dr. Leatrice R. Brooks, Ph.D., LP
Our lives do not always go the way we planned. We all experience challenges and struggles and find ourselves searching for relief. I view therapy as a time to heal, grow, change, discover, and build. I have worked with clients to address such concerns as self-esteem, depression, anxiety, family and relationship issues, parenting, work and career concerns, life transitions, stress and coping, and grief and loss to name a few.
With my background training in understanding how people develop and change across the lifespan, I have experience and enjoy working with various age groups from elementary age children to seniors. My style is interpersonally based and collaborative as I work together with you to reach your identified goals.
I am also a professional speaker and executive coach. More information on working with me in that capacity can be found on my speaking website.
