Robin B Brooks, LCSW

History

I maintained a successful psychotherapy practice in the Bay Area for thirty years before relocating to the desert. I currently provide telemental health counseling and psychotherapy to people living all over the country, and I consider myself very fortunate to have the pleasure of working with so many wonderful people!

Specialties

Life is hard. Therapy can help. I work exclusively over the phone and provide no-cost, telemental health counseling and psychotherapy to people on Medicare. Whether you need help navigating a short term crisis, or you want to take a deep dive into existential questions about the meaning of life, therapy can help. While video therapy can be stressful and distracting at times, conversations over the phone are usually more grounded and internally focused. My approach to therapy is holistic, relational, growth-oriented, and mindfulness-based. Informed by a background in humanistic psychology, contemporary psychoanalysis, and psychodynamic psychotherapy, I use empathic connection, compassionate inquiry, and engaged dialogue to uncover the root causes of emotional suffering and psycho-spiritual distress. The work I do is especially effective for people who are spiritually-oriented and committed to their personal growth. Every stage in life brings us new challenges and new opportunities for self-improvement. If you're struggling to connect the dots in a way that gives your life renewed meaning and purpose, give me a call. I can help.
