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 relationship, you deserve a space where you can be your authentic self and feel supported in your journey towards self-discovery and emotional healing. I am dedicated to guiding individuals on their journey towards inner peace and emotional freedom.
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.

VirtualMy 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.
Humanistic
In my practice, I utilize humanistic therapy to support clients in their journey toward growth and healing by emphasizing their inherent potential and self-worth. By creating a non-judgmental, empathetic, and supportive environment, I help clients explore and understand their true selves, fostering self-awareness and self-acceptance.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
In my practice, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is a central approach I use to facilitate growth and healing for individuals and couples. EFT focuses on exploring and understanding emotions as a key to improving interpersonal relationships and individual well-being. For individuals, I help clients identify and process their core emotional experiences, which often involves uncovering unmet needs and addressing underlying issues that affect their self-esteem and personal growth. In couples therapy, EFT is particularly effective in helping partners reconnect by fostering a secure emotional bond.
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.
