Donna Brooks Therapy Welcomes You
Meaningful, Quality Care You Can Count On
Are you struggling with issues related to trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, or major life changes? There comes a time when help is needed from a certified professional to cope with many of life’s challenges. I’m a licensed Therapist in the New York area, and I’m here to support you on your journey toward healing and self-discovery.
Get to Know Me
Making A Difference One Client At A Time
Ever since I was young, I knew I wanted to get into a career path that would make a difference in people’s lives and bring them a sense of peace and wholeness. This interest led me to study Early Childhood Education & Human Services and eventually to go on to study Social Work with a focus in Children and Families. As a trauma informed licensed Therapist in the greater New York area, I am committed to the well-being of all my clients and go above and beyond to meet their needs.
I truly care for all of my clients, and work diligently to help find them the answers they seek. Since 2013, I have worked with a variety of clients from early intervention to older adults, from stress & anxiety to goal setting, behavior modification and more. Each client I have the pleasure of working with is unique and possesses their own level of strength and resilience; which I greatly welcome, encourage and foster.
"The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind"
Nothing Changes if Nothing Changes.
Therapy..The best gift you can give to yourself
What To Expect At Your Visit
Learn About My Methods
I incorporate effective Strength-Based Therapy utilizing a Person-Centered approach. Aiming to instill a greater sense of self & self worth by meeting my clients where they are and embracing all they come with, without allowing it to define them. It is essential to keep in mind that therapy is not a magic pill or a quick fix: therapy is a healing process that necessitates participation and investment from the client and therapist alike. But in the end, making small changes to self-defeating behavior and coping with feelings of sadness, fear, and pain can bring life-altering results.

How Long will I need therapy
This is personal to you!
The length of time you will need services will depend upon the complexity of your emotional health and well being. This will also depend on whether or not I'm seeing you weekly, bi weekly or monthly. When we get started together we will create a formal treatment plan. It is common for clients to meet the treatment goals they came in for and decide to continue on in therapy to address other areas of their lives.

Yes I do offer a sliding scale when indicated need is discussed

I am confident that I can. I offer a safe space where reflection, mindfulness, growth and healing is both welcomed and encouraged. Please take comfort in knowing; if your needs are beyond my scope it is important that I refer you to someone or a referral source that can assist you.
Will I get a diagnosis?
A diagnosis is a framework therapist use to attribute symptoms and formulate treatment. I would be happy to explore what diagnosis could help you understand yourself better. Often times, people enrolled in therapy don't meet full criteria for a specific diagnosis yet they benefit from therapy all the same.
