I am Chimere L. Brooks, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and therapist dedicated to helping adults navigate the complexity of stress in their lives. As an empathetic person who sees the best in people, my career in mental health has been a natural calling. Leading with curiosity, kindness, and compassion, my goal is to provide a space where you can express yourself freely and to teach practical skills that help you live life with confidence. (Accepting client virtually) My areas of clinical focus are on depression and anxiety. I often work well with clients who exhibit behaviors and moods such as: Isolation Loneliness Lack of interest or enjoyment Social overwhelm Debilitating concerns with how others see you Difficulty concentrating Irritability Restlessness or poor sleep Hopelessness Together, we will explore your challenges with curiosity and non-judgement, with a goal to learn healthy coping mechanisms that leads to lasting well-being. I often begin sessions by working on building rapport and trust in the healing process. From there, we will focus on relaxation techniques, targeting the reduction of heightened emotional states, setting achievable goals and practicing self-care routines. Although seeking help can certainly be challenging, the benefits can be empowering. It would be my honor to partner with you on this liberating journey.
