Getting to know Denetria Brooks-James
Hi there, I'm Denetria, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in San Antonio, TX. I am passionate about assisting others to become as healthy mentally and emotionally as they can. I am Trauma-Focused trained and in Prolonged Exposure, but I use treatment modalities that fit the needs of each client. I became a therapist after therapy changed my life. Since 2006, I have loved every single interaction with each client and enjoy helping others become the best person they can be.
I hold a Doctor of Social Work degree from the University of St. Thomas, Minnesota, which has further deepened my understanding and skills in this field. The first session is always used to begin the relationship-building process while I discover your therapeutic needs. Please know that each individual is different, so each session looks different, even with the same goals in mind. Therapy is not a one-size-fits-all modality.
I am a straightforward person—in an extremely respectful way. I always want my clients to feel heard and validated authentically. I communicate at a level appropriate to my clients' comprehension to ensure they feel comfortable discussing matters of their heart and pain. I have excellent communication skills and use effective listening because I want each interaction to have meaning.
The treatment modalities I use are based on the individual needs of each client. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in almost all sessions, as I feel it is the foundation for moving forward to a healthier YOU! I work well with individuals aged 16 to 99 and have experience with a wide range of diagnoses, feeling confident in my ability to work successfully with each.
Therapy is a unique journey for everyone, and I am here to support you every step of the way.
