Brenda Brooks

My name is Brenda Brooks, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Ventura County, California. I graduated from California Lutheran University with my Master’s Degree in 2014. I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families facing different life challenges and mental health illnesses ranging from anxiety, depression, ADHD, and trauma such as sexual abuse, physical/emotional abuse, and domestic violence.

I’ve been trained in CBT, Trauma Focused CBT, and Psycho-dynamic Approach and utilize the necessary interventions on a case-by-case basis with the understanding that everyone has different needs. I work collaboratively with my clients and frequently review treatment goals to ensure my clients are getting what they need from the therapeutic process.

I help my clients articulate what it is that they want to accomplish in their therapeutic process by defining measurable and attainable goals that will help improve their functioning whether it be in school, home, socially, work, etc. Over the course of our work together, we will review those goals and update them as needed while also tracking your progress on a week-to-week basis.
