Getting to know LaShaunia Brooks

Hi there, I'm LaShaunia! I am dedicated to helping you create balance in your life and discover a sense of inner peace. Together, we will navigate your journey toward self-awareness and personal growth, empowering you to overcome the challenges life has placed in your path. With compassion and support, we will develop strategies to combat the stress responses shaped by past adversities and build a healthier, more fulfilling future. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from Saint Leo University and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Qualified Social Worker (QSW). My approach My therapeutic approach is trauma-informed and client-centered, integrating elements of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and inner child work. I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where clients can explore their challenges, understand the impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), and develop healthier coping mechanisms. My focus I work with individuals navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, substance abuse, impulsivity, grief, mood disorders, and the lasting effects of ACEs. My clients seek to heal from trauma, develop self-awareness, and learn healthier ways to cope with stress and emotional dysregulation. My communication style My communication style is warm, compassionate, and supportive, while also being direct and honest when needed. I create a safe space where clients feel heard, validated, and respected, encouraging open and authentic dialogue. I tailor my communication to each client’s needs, balancing empathy with guidance to ensure clarity and understanding as we work together toward their goals. My journey to mental healthcare I became interested in becoming a therapist when my good friend was going through relationship problems. I was able to provide support and encouragement to her in a nonjudgmental way. She mentioned that I would make a great therapist, and the rest is history.
