Getting to know Mary Imani Brooks
"The world as we have created it is a process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking." – Albert Einstein. I feel honored to have the privilege to be part of people's decisions to improve their lives and create new beginnings. With a Master’s in Social Work from Barry University and a Bachelor’s degree from Mississippi State University, I utilize individual, family, and couples psychotherapy to help people uncover patterns that may be holding them back. Together, we work toward implementing strategies to find balance, confidence, and joy. My therapeutic approach includes building insight, applying cognitive and behavioral strategies, and fostering the healing experience of a collaborative and compassionate relationship.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I utilize a multifaceted approach that is aimed to meet you where you are. I specialize in utilizing a personalize treatment plan that addresses the mind, body, and soul. We will work together to begin change by utilizing acceptance/mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy, meditation, and other holistic approaches to the healing process.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.

I did not find this provider to be very professional. We spoke over the phone for only a few minutes and I didn’t find her very compassionate or welcoming.

It was my first appointment and first with my own therapist. I tend to ramble but I didn’t feel bad or rushed. Looking forward to my next appointment
