Nicole Brooks, LCSW

I am an experienced psychotherapist with a social work background who's dedicated to helping adults move through trauma, depression, anxiety, burnout and general feelings of "stuckness" until they're living their best lives.

I'm glad you're here! My goal is to offer you a space of compassion and non-judgment, freeing up energy in your life so you can be your best self. Emotions are messengers - but sometimes we need help to understand what they're saying. Our sessions will aim to bring light to dark places and deepen your understanding of how your mind works, which often brings a sense of spaciousness and self compassion. I hope this will give you more energy to build a life you love!

I offer support for neurodivergent people, perfectionists, those who've had brushes with addiction, and people navigating complex trauma.

My approach is curious, warm, and gentle. I use relational and trauma-informed methods like IFS, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and somatic approaches to help you tease apart your true nature from ways you've adapted to get by.

I offer both virtual individual therapy and walking sessions in large San Francisco parks (i.e. Golden Gate Park).
I'd love to help you feel more fulfilled and engaged in life. If my perspective resonates, reach out and let's chat.
