Baer Behavioral Health

Brooks has been in the mental field for over 30 years. For 15 years he worked as a traveling consultant and educator teaching thousands of clinicians the most current research on mental health and the process of change. In addition to his travel schedule, he has worked in the Emergency Departments of 6 different hospitals conducting assessments interviews. He now spends most of his time as a therapist though he still works in emergency settings. Brooks is primarily a cognitive therapist. Cognitive therapists look for faulty thinking and help replace those thoughts with more productive thoughts. Psycho education is a significant part of this process. We will use the latest research in neuroscience to understand why your brain is working against your best interests at times. Brooks is most comfortable working with clinical disorders such as depression, anxiety and trauma disorders. He keeps current on research and serves as both an editor and content creator for a large education company. You will find that he has a low-key style and recognizes that therapy is not a race and change does not take place overnight.
