Angela Brooks

I am currently licensed in Georgia as well as Louisiana, with 20+ years of professional counseling experience. I have experience helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, motivation, self-esteem and confidence issues, & depression. I strongly believe that you are the expert of your story, and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

I have extensive training and experience in counseling, which has helped me achieve a broad perspective of the field of therapy. I effectively apply a variety of interventions and choose from these interventions based on my assessment of a client’s learning needs, learning style, and personal characteristics.

I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) as an approach to therapy. CBT explores the relationship between feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. Often focusing on identifying negative thoughts and replacing them with healthier ones. I work to examine my clients’ thought patterns and identify negative belief systems that are causing negative feelings and behaviors. I work with my clients to promote more positive thinking with the expectation that positive feelings and behaviors will follow.

During our initial session, I will spend time getting to know you by asking questions about your life and background. so that I can get to know you, and plan how best to help you. Initial conversations are often more about discovering the concerns that have led you to seek counseling.

Starting therapy can feel intimidating and overwhelming. I will work with you at a pace that matches your comfort level and needs in a non-judgmental way to ensure that you feel safe and most important, heard!
