Teletherapy for Fresno, CA

Hi, I'm Dr. Brookins licensed marriage and family therapist. I'm also a senior pastor's wife and I specialize in counseling Christian women. Growing up in the church I understand first hand, the sensitive and often complex needs of Christian believers. And as a skilled licensed mental health professional, I also understand that our mental health matters. And, Jesus does not want us to suffer. As a Strengths-Based therapist, I utilize CBT, EMDR, and Solution Focused interventions in treatment. I also offer a variety of coaching packages specifically designed for the Christian woman.

Life can be wonderful & harmonious, & it can also be complicated. Often times, we go through life learning to hide parts of ourselves that have felt criticism, fear & other difficult emotions (rejection, hurt, etc.). We learn to ignore those difficult parts of ourselves due to shame & guilt, which can lead to sadness, worry, low self-esteem, trauma, and so on. These emotions & hurts can also affect the relationships around us (romantic, friendships, work, etc.), causing deeper pain & rejection. We notice our emotions, mind, & body’s reaction to situations that cause these parts to resurface & then struggle to cope.

I believe everyone can overcome their struggles with the proper support and understanding. I feel confident about sending a welcoming message where everyone is validated, empowered, loved, and connected.

My goal is to help you empower yourself by uncovering past traumas that prevent your ability to live life to the fullest.

I am passionate about working with couples, children, teens, young adults, and adults, with a special interest in trauma, anxiety, BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ mental health. As a therapist, I value being genuine and transparent with my clients. I believe in using a mixture of honesty, acceptance, humor, and compassion to meet my clients where they are. My approach is directive and supportive, especially when working with couples. In my work with couples, I enjoy helping couples learn to improve their communication with each other, resolve conflict, improve intimacy, and heal emotional wounds which can create distance in the relationship.

I enjoy working with teens and adults, with a special interest in BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ mental health. I provide a safe space for clients to identify feelings and utilize EMDR therapy to help client process past traumas. I have a passion for working with adults struggling with anxiety, depression, difficulty saying "NO" to others, and childhood trauma. I have experience working with young adults as they work towards finding their identity while transitioning towards the exciting, and sometimes scary, transition into adulthood.

Therapy is a big step and can sometimes feel scary, and I want you to know that you are not alone. I am passionate about meeting you where you are and coming alongside you in your own unique journey. I believe that finding a therapist that is right for you is one of the most important parts of successful therapy. In my work, I provide a safe and empathetic place that fosters insight, understanding, and self-compassion. I recognize that each client has their own individual needs and I come from a place of warmth and acceptance.

Life got you down? Are you feeling stuck, frustrated, or upset with your current experiences? Many of us are but it's often difficult for us to see it and, for some, even harder to admit it. When people experience any form of trauma, it is not uncommon for them to need help and I would love to be the person to help you get through your life challenges. My clients say my down-to-Earth, friendly, and calming disposition help them feel safe and comfortable so that they can bridge a path on their own away from the trauma.

Dr. Watts believes change happens through an ecological relationship between two or more people. Therapy is a relationship that deepens our humanity. As humans, we are embedded within systems, from internal to cosmological. We are often unaware of how we are impacted by these systems. Effective therapy brings this complex web of relationships to awareness. Dr. Watts offers a relational approach designed to expand individual consciousness. He is integrative in his approach, using systemic therapies, EMDR, and a Jungian perspective to support the well-being of his patients.
