Getting to know Rachel Brooks

Creative Arts Therapy is an empirically grounded, expressive modality that intentionally uses drama, visual arts, music, movement, drama, poetry, and storytelling techniques as tools to support psychological insight, healing, and growth. At Brooks Creative Arts Therapy, we believe that incorporating the arts into the therapeutic space can promote deep healing, profound acceptance, and unbound discovery. Brooks Creative Arts Therapy is named for our founder, Rachel Brooks—but also evokes the deep wisdom of nature. Like a brook, our work is gentle yet powerful. It flows and adapts, shaped by obstacles without losing its course. We see therapy in much the same way: a space where calm meets current, softness finds strength, and stillness streams into movement. This is a practice that embraces the imperfect, the evolving, and the in-between — a brook reshaped with every bend. A place where stories heal, where metaphors reveal truths, and where growth springs forth in surprising, beautiful ways.
