Sarah Brooks

Therapist

Virtual • Illinois


Hello prospective clients! My name is Sarah and I am a counselor with a collaborative, solution focused, and person-centered approach. I believe the best counseling happens when a client is actively involved in their treatment. I will work with you to establish what you would like to get out of treatment so that you may have the best experience possible. In my experience, counseling has the best results when we work as a team. My experience primarily lies in working with substance abuse, depression, anxiety, coping skills, anger management, self-care, self-esteem, relationship issues, and parenting. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. I have conducted individual counseling group counseling, and family counseling. I am very passionate about what I do and would love to help you on your journey to become the best version of yourself!

Therapist

Virtual • Illinois


I received my Master's in Social Work from Loyola University Chicago in 2014. My clinical values are deeply rooted in the ethos of social work, which is that to understand any person, you must understand the context of their life. This includes your family of origin, socioeconomic status, any discrimination you face, and your religious or spiritual belief system. All of these parts of your life will be essential to bring into the therapy space to understand best what ails you and where we might find remedies within you and your community.

Therapist

Virtual • Illinois


Hi, I’m Brittany Glenn, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and the founder of Tree of Life Health & Wellness. I am passionate about supporting individuals through life’s most overwhelming and transitional moments, with a special focus on maternal mental health, trauma, and families involved with child welfare systems.

I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults across clinical and community settings, including DCFS-involved families. My background includes providing comprehensive assessments, substance use evaluations, and therapy services that are both compassionate and structured. I am trained in trauma-informed care and take an individualized approach to meet each client where they are.

I specialize in working with mothers—particularly during pregnancy and the postpartum period—who may be experiencing anxiety, depression, or feeling overwhelmed. I also support individuals navigating life stressors, relationship challenges, and emotional regulation concerns.

My approach is warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental. I strive to create a safe space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to grow. I believe healing happens through connection, consistency, and feeling truly supported.

If you’re ready to take the next step, I’m here to walk alongside you.
