Rachel Brooks (she/her) is a creative arts/drama therapist living in Brooklyn, New York. Rachel offers an integrated, strengths-based, holistic approach, tailored to each individual, family, or group’s specific therapeutic needs. When working with clients across the lifespan, she pulls from Drama Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and core mindfulness practices to support their growth and healing. She specializes in bringing improvisation, embodiment, play, monologues, scene study, poetry, role theory and other projective and storytelling techniques to the therapeutic process. Additionally, Rachel has a vast knowledge of breath and voice work, and engages these tools to help a client ground themselves and warm-in to the space. She is incredibly passionate about the role of the arts in the mental health space and the importance of mental health in the arts.

She completed her Masters in Drama Therapy at New York University and completed her BFA in Acting from the University of North Carolina School of the Arts. During the pandemic, she consulted with artists of various disciplines and led a workshop with Artist Strategy, called “Coming Together,” which provided a creative and therapeutic space to process grief and collective trauma. Above all, Rachel prioritizes collaborating with her clients in order to create a therapeutic space in which they can grow, heal, and embody their most authentic selves.
