Welcome, my name is Diane Brooks and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s degree in Clinical Social Work. I started my career in Maryland working with teenagers in detention and residential centers. After moving to Colorado 11 years ago, I have been working with children, teenagers, and adults. I initially started in a private practice model in community mental health and as part of an Integrated Behavioral Health Team in a Pediatric office. For the past eight years I have solely been in private practice. I have significant experience in working with older children, teenagers and adults who are struggling with issues of trauma, depression, anxiety, mood issues, grief and loss, and adjustment issues. I have compassion and focus on meeting individuals and families where they are with promoting a welcoming environment to work on some of the more challenging times of our lives.
