Ariel Brooks

Hey there! My name is Ariel K. Brooks, LCSW and I am a clinical social worker and therapist based in Louisville, Ky. I hold master's degrees in both Social Work and Pan-African Studies, as well as a bachelor's degree in American Sign Language Interpreting.

Though I enjoy working with all ages, backgrounds, and presenting issues, I specialize in working with the unique concerns of the LGBTQ+ community and members of the global majority (aka "people of color"). I also have a rescue therapy dog that joins me for in-person sessions!

I believe that every client is an individual living within a larger system that impacts their well-being, and that change must happen on multiple levels to truly improve someone's quality of life. I believe that improving a client's confidence and sense of safety is a crucial part of the therapeutic process.

My goals for all of my clients are an increased awareness and management of moods and emotions, improved trust in self, and a greater sense of identity. I want to help you develop your ideal self in this unpredictable world.
