More about Takara Rooks, LMHC
Change is never easy. Acknowledgement is the first step. Seeking assistance is the second. Please allow me to guide you on that journey to wellness. As your therapist, it is my honor to work with you to formalize a plan that's best for you. Therapy is a relationship that, when done properly, can reshape lives and bring new perspectives to an issue. For the past 15 years, I have worked with adolescents and families. I enjoy getting to the heart of the situation and I'm not afraid to address “the elephant in the room.” I am also a certified Hypnotherapist, a modality that works really well for anxiety and phobias. I hold a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from The City College of New York. Can't wait to meet!

Calling everyone to the front of the room but especially women of color specifically, Black women. Ive found her! Our very own “unicorn”. As mental health is paramount, working with Takara has been life shifting for me. I knew that I wanted to work with a Black woman who just got me and all of my complexities. I don’t have to explain cultural nuances to her as she gets it. Sometimes just a look is saying enough. I highly recommend Takara to anyone who wants to begin or continue their mental health journey of wellness.

I’ve been working with Takara for a few years and I can’t recommend her enough. She is genuine, a good listener, and always present in our sessions. I never feel judged, no matter what I bring into the space. It’s rare to find someone who makes you feel completely safe to be yourself, and she made me feel that way from the beginning. Her feedback is thoughtful and insightful, and it’s clear that she cares. Working with her has made a meaningful difference in my life.

Our visit with Takara was not only effective and productive, but also deeply insightful. She brought much-needed clarity and direction to our conversation. Takara is a master of subcommunication, effortlessly picking up on unspoken cues and underlying dynamics. Her exceptional ability to read people and situations added layers of depth to the session that might have otherwise gone unnoticed. With her sharp situational awareness, she created organic and powerful teachable moments that resonated with everyone present. The guidance she provided was both timely and relevant, leaving us with practical takeaways and a renewed sense of focus. The time spent with her was genuinely valuable and left a lasting impression.

I highly recommend Takara. She holds me to the standards we set together while still giving me the space to work through challenges at my own pace. Her supportive yet structured style has helped me progress in areas where I've previously struggled. Takara creates an environment where I feel challenged, supported, and safe. She has helped me balance accountability and flexibility, which has been crucial for my growth in different seasons of life.

Takara has been one if the best therapists I’ve seen and I’ve been through many. She really takes the time to listen and also tries to understand the cultural background which plays into many aspects of my life and issues. I’ve had a few therapist’s who never tried to understand the cultural differences and just judge you. I highly recommend her to anyone needing/looking into therapy.

When looking for a mental health provider, I was concerned about who to go to as I have never seen a mental health provider in the past. I feel as if I was so lucky to have found Takara, as she is one of the most warm, non judgmental, kind and sincere people that I've ever met. Takara has been with me for many years now, and there are periods of time where I will go without seeing her, but whenever I need her she is always there for me. If you are looking for a mental health provider, do yourself a favor and see Takara.

I was searching for a therapist for my soon-to-be ex-wife and our sons. Mrs. Rooks was a blessing; not only did she work with my sons, but she also helped me navigate this life-changing event. I continue to work with Mrs. Rooks to maintain a healthy attitude and mental state many years later. Her ability to work with both teenagers and adults is remarkable. Honestly, I don't know where I would be without the sessions she has provided me. I was initially reluctant to attend therapy for myself , but Mrs. Rooks's professionalism and approach convinced me to continue. She has a unique ability to connect with her clients, . She has been my Therapist for many years and I highly recommend her for both adults and for children and teenagers.
To add are session are amazing with many tools to use in my everyday life struggle’s pleasant relaxing environment where you feel safe to open up and express and get the help I needed.
