The greatest stars are those that shine for the benefit of others. Words are powerless to express my gratitude. Joel has taught me so many things! I don’t have the space here to recount it all. He is in a few words, the ideal therapist. Joel is someone you can fully trust; honest and compassionate. He shows warmth and acceptance, empathy, and a focus on you. His willingness to establish an alliance and a partnership is what makes his practice so effective. He has a great ability to develop a balance between realism and hope. Though he is obviously the expert, you feel that the he cares about your goals in therapy and is willing to work with you to set goals that we will both agree on. Instead of playing the role of expert, he strives to be an authentic person, someone with whom you feel comfortable enough to be open and self-revealing. He constantly inspires you to think that you can get better and shows great respect for your gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, or cultural background. Joel has a brilliant ability to provide an explanation of your symptoms and can adapt this explanation as circumstances change. He is very skilled in helping you reconnect with yourself. Like an artist, he is sensitively attuned to your real feelings, qualities, and priorities. He just makes you feel like youre in good hands. Thanks for putting up with me for so long. You have been a miraculous mentor and I am forever grateful for the generosity you have shown me. Thank you for being a wonderful friend, for your support, advice. You have been a blessing in my life.

Joel is truly phenomenal. He is a straight shooter without alienating people. He exhibits incredible kindness, stellar listening skills and is clearly highly intelligent. Highly, highly recommend!

I went through a crisis 2 years ago and Joel Brooks was there for me as I began to pick up the pieces. Since that time, more was revealed and little did I know that I would begin to discover things that were locked away inside of me for years and since I was a child. It has been a difficult task to chip away at my painful past but I have uncovered a new and stronger me as a result. Therapy has been the crux of a new self and awakening and it is only part of my treatment. I attend a meditation group, read a ton, and have began to share my own journey of awakening with others through my own blog at narcissistninjas.com. I also have created a group/page on Facebook called NarcissistNinjas that has been a big part of my empowerment process. With the current Covid crisis new challenges are revealing themselves, but I continue to do the hard work of facing them head on. The main thing is that we should never give up. When things get really sad and difficult, I realize that there is still so much yet to be revealed and shared and that keeps me going. Thank you Mr. Brooks for being there through some of the most difficult times in my life. TaMarah

Has helped me a ton, perhaps more than any other psychologist I have had in my 19 years of living. Highly recommend him!

Joel is fantastic! He has and continues to help me tremendously through my mental and physical issues. A++++

It has actually been about 11 or 12 years since I have seen him but I have recently began considering therapy for my 14 year old daughter and he is the person I thought of first to help her as I know tbat he will. I am calling him on Monday, first thing in the morning. :D
