Hi, I am Shanera Brown-Brooks, a skilled Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional in the state of Georgia. Whether you're seeking support for personal growth, navigating life transitions, or looking to improve your relationships, I am here to accompany you on your journey towards healing and well-being. I am dedicated to guiding individuals on their journey towards inner peace and emotional freedom. Together, we will explore the depths of your emotions, unravel the layers of pain, and discover the seeds of healing buried within. With empathy, understanding, and unwavering support, I am committed to walking alongside you as you navigate the path to healing and reclaim the joy and fulfillment that you deserve.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

During the first session, clients can expect to discuss their goals for therapy, explore their current challenges and emotions, and begin to establish a strong therapeutic relationship based on trust and understanding. Additionally, I will work collaboratively with clients to create a personalized treatment plan that addresses their unique needs and helps them achieve their desired outcomes.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

One of my strongest skills is creating a welcoming, safe space for clients to process their emotions and get past barriers that are holding them back. Assisting my clients in overcoming stressors from their current and past circumstances is my main goal. With a strong foundation in trauma-informed care, I employ evidence-based techniques to assist my clients in embracing new perspectives and coping strategies for life's obstacles. I'm skilled at recognizing my clients' potential and instilling in them the self-assurance to make positive changes in their lives.

My treatment methods

Person-centered (Rogerian)

In my practice, I prioritize the client's perspective, feelings, and autonomy in order to ensure that their needs and desires are at the forefront of our interactions. Through active listening, unconditional positive regard, and empathetic understanding, clients often experience a deep sense of validation and acceptance, which can facilitate personal growth and self-discovery

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

My approach to CBT is collaborative and client-centered. I work closely with clients to develop personalized treatment plans that align with their unique needs and goals. By fostering a safe and supportive therapeutic environment, I empower clients to explore their thoughts and behaviors, develop healthier coping strategies, and build resilience.

Couples Counseling

I specialize in fostering deeper understanding, communication, and connection. Whether you're facing conflicts, communication breakdowns, or intimacy issues, I offer a safe space to explore emotions, rebuild trust, and cultivate a more fulfilling relationship.

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

In my practice, I have employed various attachment-based techniques to help clients explore and process their attachment histories. By establishing a trusting and empathetic relationship, I have been able to facilitate deeper emotional healing and the restructuring of maladaptive attachment patterns. This process has been particularly effective in working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, stress related issues and complex trauma.

Trauma Informed Care

Instead of viewing behaviors and symptoms in isolation, I look at the broader context of clients' experiences. This perspective helps in identifying the underlying trauma and addressing it through targeted interventions.
