Welcome! I’m Dynesha Crooks, Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have been a Medical Social Worker for over 18 years. I am a lover of mindfulness and an advocate for mental wellness. I truly believe all can benefit from supportive guidance during life events, especially while dealing with grief and loss, depression, and anxiety.

Determination to combat stereotypes and stigmas surrounding mental health conditions is what fuels my passion.

I approach every situation in a supportive and empathetic manner in order to assist individuals feel validated and encouraged. Let's make mental health MATTER together!

First session

In our initial session, we will explore and discuss what your goals are. I would also like to learn who you are as a person. In our future sessions together I will allow space for you to be your authentic self by crafting a supportive and inspiring environment to help you explore and heal.

Strengths

Over the past 18 years my desire to connect with and help others is what drives me to do what I do. Determination to combat stereotypes and stigmas surrounding mental health conditions is what fuels my passion. In addition, my desire to engage in meaningful work as it brings about changes in people’s lives is what helps me continue my journey.

Treatment methods

Strength-Based

I like to use Strength based therapy as it focuses on identifying and utilizing your existing strength to address challenges and improve mental well-being. I also use this method as ultimately it leads to benefits like increase self-esteem, motivation, resilience, a more positive outlook, and better coping mechanisms. It also focuses on promoting a sense of empowerment and hopefulness by leveraging inherent capabilities in individuals.

Thank you Dynesha for listening. I gave her a lot of information to look over for us to talk about. She listened very well and asked the necessary questions. She is a great fit for me. Once again, Thank you for listening.

I was fortunate to be aligned with Ms. Dynesha Crooks. I came across her skills and expertise through another provider who misunderstood her role and grow alternative forms of therapy sessions. However, I am grateful that the prior therapist had declined sessions with me, because it placed me in line with Ms. Crooks, in addition to the other therapist recommendation. Dynesha is authentic, warm, kind, and supportive of me and my therapy journey. I look forward to our sessions together.

I was referred to Ms. Crooks. What standout about her to me was her willingness to be as helpful as possible to my mental health and wellness journey, verses relying on the politics to what is expected of her as a therapist. She expressed regard, compassion, empathy, and an open mind to my realities during our first session and I genuinely appreciate her level of understanding and professionalism. Amazing woman - a true gift!
