I am Tammy Brooks, a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist offering online therapy in California, Michigan, Missouri, and Texas. I help people who are struggling with anxiety or fear that keep them feeling stuck or hopeless. As your online therapist, I provide individual therapy so that you can begin to grow and conquer those challenges that are keeping you stuck. Imagine how different those challenges will begin to look once you begin embracing positive changes in your life. I am here to help in that discovery that there is joy and hope for a better tomorrow! By using a Solution Focused Therapy approach, I hope to ask just the right question as we work collaboratively to find coping strategies so you will leave therapy thinking, “I got this!” or “I have done this before and got through it; and I will get through it again.” In our online therapy sessions, we will focus on the solutions not the just rehashing all the problems which I know you are all too familiar. I know you are seeking therapy to feel better, so let's get you there as quickly as possible! I use solution focused brief therapy questions to learn more about you, the goals for therapy, dreams, and your "best hopes." In turn answering these questions, gives you a chance to reflect, discover, and recognize your own strengths. You may even begin to remember coping skills used in the past or even ones you've considered but have been too scared to try.

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

You are not interested in spending a whole bunch of time talking about the problems. Actually, you really hate going back to the past just for sake of digging into the past. Why does any of that even matter anyway? You just want a therapist who knows how to help you talk through solutions and gets you moving in a positive direction. I offer a virtual therapy safe space to discuss your concerns, offer support, and discover insights. No more endlessly rehashing problems. Starting from our first session, I will ask you what difference do you want therapy to make in your life? I will continue to ask questions and really listen to your answers. In my therapy sessions, I lead away from "problem talk" to "solution talk." The approach I use is Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). I strongly believe this approach takes less time, saves money, and gets to your desired outcomes for therapy sooner, so much so, that I invested the time and money to obtain level 3 certification and attend regular training and practice calls with other SFBT clinicians so that I can perfect how I ask those questions. Together, through online therapy, you will learn how to take care of you, listen to your body and heart. We'll focus on your strengths, identify your best hopes, and build on the positive steps that you probably already know you can take. I hope to help you gain insight, recognize past coping strategies, and uncover that potential that’s already within you!

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

On average my clients find that 12 weeks of weekly online therapy is sufficient to reach their goals. In other words, I don't expect you to be here forever- we want to get you change and get you graduated! I have hope that things will change. Life doesn't have to be this tough. I’m confident that I will ask the right question that you will begin seeing that too. I am here to help you be the best version of yourself. Are you ready to create positive change in your life? Don’t let another day slip by—take the first step toward a better tomorrow to start building a life you’re proud of—starting today! Schedule a session and start your journey towards a happier, more fulfilling life.
