Teletherapy for Fresno, CA

Book with me now by clicking on my website! There are seasons in life that are very unpredictable, 2020 for example! If you are finding that the last few months, weeks, maybe even years have been full of overwhelming amounts of change, transition and uncertainty, your are not alone. I understand the uncertainty of life can cause depression, anxiety, and unresolved traumas to arise. My goal is to assist you with getting to the heart of the issues you are enduring, while embracing the resiliency and strength it took for you to make it this far. Emotional healing and relief is near.

You want to feel happy, free and vibing...(ya I did just say that!) but are struggling to get there on your own. Maybe you related to Ted Lasso when he had a panic attack at a football game and had to walk away; you may have thought "omg samee!" Or maybe you relate to the main character in Never Have I Ever, trying to heal after a traumatic year but your thoughts and feelings keep getting in the way. Guilt, shame, fear (is a liar by the way), sadness, excessive worry, anger, unresolved hurt...all these are very human emotions and there is hope! And if you're a person of faith, guess what, you can have Jesus AND a therapist!

How did you end up here? Stuck in an unfulfilling marriage and paralyzed by fear. Your anxiety and other men’s issues are causing you to struggle to connect, communicate and resolve conflict with your spouse. It is having a negative impact on how you show up as a parent. Now might be the time for you to connect with a marriage counselor who can help.

I am passionate about helping children, adolescents and parents by working collaboratively to facilitate healthy and meaningful relationships. I believe that children need to know and feel that they are loved, valued, and validated. When children are able to feel their value they are learn how to communicate their feelings and emotions in a positive way.

Are you looking for a Christian counselor who understands the importance of your faith? Sometimes as a Christian it can be difficult to reach out for help, it can feel like our faith or trust in God isn't enough. But be encouraged that I truly believe restoration is possible, and you do not need to face these challenges alone.

Life can be wonderful & harmonious, & it can also be complicated. Often times, we go through life learning to hide parts of ourselves that have felt criticism, fear & other difficult emotions (rejection, hurt, etc.). We learn to ignore those difficult parts of ourselves due to shame & guilt, which can lead to sadness, worry, low self-esteem, trauma, and so on. These emotions & hurts can also affect the relationships around us (romantic, friendships, work, etc.), causing deeper pain & rejection. We notice our emotions, mind, & body’s reaction to situations that cause these parts to resurface & then struggle to cope.

Are you struggling with symptoms of depression, anxiety, or experiencing stress related to change or loss? Are relationship struggles making life feel difficult or even unbearable right now? Relationships can often become complicated due to life transitions, anxiety, depression, grief, family conflict, marital difficulties or other stressors. Coming from a unique faith-based perspective, I offer hope and healing to those dealing with any of the above. I offer relationship / marital therapy, family therapy, and individual therapy for adults.

Hi, I'm Dr. Brookins licensed marriage and family therapist. I'm also a senior pastor's wife and I specialize in counseling Christian women. Growing up in the church I understand first hand, the sensitive and often complex needs of Christian believers. And as a skilled licensed mental health professional, I also understand that our mental health matters. And, Jesus does not want us to suffer. As a Strengths-Based therapist, I utilize CBT, EMDR, and Solution Focused interventions in treatment. I also offer a variety of coaching packages specifically designed for the Christian woman.

I am passionate about working with clients with trauma history, PTSD, anxiety, and relationship/boundary issues.

I believe everyone can overcome their struggles with the proper support and understanding. I feel confident about sending a welcoming message where everyone is validated, empowered, loved, and connected. Therapy is a slow process that requires a degree of patience and adaptability, which are qualities I possess and given my work and personal experiences, I feel confident in my abilities to help you heal. My goal is to help you empower yourself by uncovering past traumas that prevent your ability to live life to the fullest.

Often people go through life just going through the motions, balancing school, work, home life, social life, relationships and much more.

Together we will discover ways to assist you in developing coping skills and assist you with helping you live the life you want. This will be a space for you to go at your own pace and together we can create a treatment plan that works best for you.

This path we walk together is sacred and I will honor you on that journey with authenticity, honesty, and compassion.

Have your ever said… “ I feel overwhelmed,” “Oh that’s just my anxiety, or “Why am I here?”Or does it seem like you constantly feel stressed/ depressed through the week? The world can be a stressful/ harmful place at times and it might be hard for you to talk about challenges you are having with family/ friends. HOWEVER.. Don’t worry there is help available!

What draws you to therapy at this time in your life? What do you expect to gain? Every therapist operates under specific assumptions in therapy, which explains the various methods, and ideologies about treatment. My only assumption about the human is that we continue to suffer because we create a disconnect between our authentic self, and who we present to others. The self we present to others inevitably creates emotions that of depression, and anxiety. Traumas are experiences outside of our control that we can choose to continue to suffer with, or use as interventions to give ourselves a new perspective on life.

I am passionate about working with individuals experiencing: depression, anxiety, transitions, relationship issues, as well as spiritual abuse and religious harm. Creating a safe space for people to reflect on their lives and work towards their goals is sacred and a privilege. Often coming into therapy is a difficult step. I am honored to walk alongside people who are searching and willing to take the next step towards healing. I have worked with a variety of populations including adults, couples, children, teens, and groups. I enjoy working with adults exploring their identity.

Beginning therapy can bring about numerous feelings and expectations. I enjoy learning from the unique worldviews that my clients experience life, and using it for the client's growth. I believe the lives we live are fluid in meaning, and we are the authors of the stories we live. I enjoy working with clients of various ages and backgrounds, but particularly enjoy working with teens, young adults, adults and families who are living through substantial life changes and transitions in the areas of school, work, and relationships.

My theoretical orientation is rooted in attachment therapy and I operate from a trauma-informed and person-centered approach.

I am passionate about working with couples, children, teens, young adults, and adults, with a special interest in trauma, anxiety, BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ mental health. As a therapist, I value being genuine and transparent with my clients. I believe in using a mixture of honesty, acceptance, humor, and compassion to meet my clients where they are. My approach is directive and supportive, especially when working with couples. In my work with couples, I enjoy helping couples learn to improve their communication with each other, resolve conflict, improve intimacy, and heal emotional wounds which can create distance in the relationship.
