Hi, I’m Tristan Brooks, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). If you’ve made it this far, you’ve already taken an important step toward taking care of yourself. Many of the people I work with appear to have things together on the outside but internally feel overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck. With over 6 years of experience, I support adolescents, young adults, and adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions. My goal is to create a safe, affirming, and culturally responsive space where you can feel seen, heard, and supported.

Are you navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma, major life transitions, or the weight of trying to balance everyone else’s needs while losing connection with yourself? Therapy can be a space to slow down, gain clarity, and begin creating meaningful change.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and strengths based. I believe our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are signals that help us better understand our experiences rather than something to judge or avoid. Together, we will explore the patterns that have shaped your life while building practical skills that support healing, healthier relationships, and lasting growth.

Many people I work with have spent years surviving, functioning on the outside while feeling disconnected, exhausted, or emotionally burdened on the inside. They often recognize patterns that no longer serve them but struggle to change them on their own. What they are seeking is not another quick fix, but deeper healing, clarity, and a sense of alignment with who they are becoming. They are ready to understand themselves more fully and move toward intentional, empowered living.
My ideal clients are adults who feel overwhelmed by emotions, stuck in self-defeating cycles, or weighed down by addiction or past trauma.

FAQ - Black and African American Counselling
As an African American, why might I wish to see a therapist who is African American?
Working with an African American therapist can often mean that you start from a place of shared understanding with a therapist rather than having to explain your experience from scratch. A therapist who shares your racial identity is more likely to understand the specific pressures shaping your mental health, including navigating racism, cultural identity, and the overall experience of being Black in the United States. They are also more likely to understand the role that family, community, and cultural expectations play in your life without requiring a lengthy explanation. This shared foundation can create a greater sense of safety in the therapeutic relationship and make it easier to open up at the start of therapy.
Are there Black therapists who specialize in working with Black men or Black women?
Yes, many Black therapists have specific experience working with Black men or Black women. While therapists who work with Black clients broadly address concerns relevant to all genders, like anxiety or depression, those with a gender-specific focus are equipped to work with you on the particular ways that race and gender may intersect. For example, some therapists may specialize in working with Black women on topics like body image or maternal mental health, while other therapists may work with Black men on topics such as relationships or masculinity.
Do Black therapists offer marriage and couples counseling?
Yes, many Black therapists are trained in couples and marriage counseling and can work with partners navigating a wide range of relationship challenges. Therapists who identify as Black may have a better understanding of the cultural dynamics surrounding marriage, family roles, and conflict that are specific to African American communities and can work with you and your partner without making assumptions about your background.
How might I inquire about a therapist’s experience working with Black clients?
The initial consultation, which is typically a brief phone or video call, is the right time to raise a therapist’s experience working with Black clients. You can ask specific questions, such as "Do you have experience working with Black clients?" or more broad questions, such as "How do you approach cultural identity in your practice?". During the initial consultation, you can also ask whether they have undertaken training in cultural competence and how they would handle a situation where a cultural misunderstanding arose in therapy. A therapist who responds to these questions thoughtfully and without defensiveness is a good sign they are equipped to work with you effectively.
Who is included in Psychology Today's directory of Black therapists?
The directory of Black therapists includes therapists who have self-identified their ethnicity in their profiles. Psychology Today uses this information to assist clients in finding a therapist who can provide a cultural match. However, not all therapists choose to disclose their ethnicity in their profile, and they may not appear in search results for this reason. In situations where the number of therapists who have identified as Black is limited, the directory will also show therapists who have undergone specific multicultural training or have extensive experience working with clients from relevant cultural backgrounds.
