Jaimi Brooks, M.A.

Jaimi Brooks, M.A. I help my clients with the more difficult parts of being human so they can live the best versions of their lives. The consultation is free of charge!

Therapy is one of the best gifts you can give yourself. It helps you be the person you want to be and to make the most of the life we've been given. I have a private practice in Encino and love creating a place where my clients feel supported as they sift through their thoughts, emotions, actions and make the changes that will live more fully. I specialize in anxiety, premarital, infertility, life transitions, and motherhood. Feel free to call me to see if it's a good fit.

I am very proud of this happening a month after regularly posting to Substack. I’ve wanted to write for a long time but was scared to start. I’ve wanted to share my stories for a long time but was scared to because therapists keep their experiences close to the chest. And it’s scary to talk about our marriages and divorces. It’s scary for me and I know it’s scary for others which why more stories like mine aren’t shared even though they’re incredibly common.

I’ve written some of my personal story and also shared the themes that come up over and over with my clients, practical tools I use to help them, and simple pleasures that fill up the space between the bigger, harder things that make it all worthwhile.

Thank you for your support and for caring about what I have to say. Thank you for sharing in return what has been impactful for you. It feels good to be 44, to try something new, and have it appreciated!

Labor Day pool party, kindergarten mornings, life looks different the boys aren’t home, training the therapists of to use the Values Deck in their practices, NUMBER 12 on Substack’s New Bestsellers, 6th birthday fun, we are the new deciders, working at the car wash, soccer (!), and sweet, small moments.

From a women’s therapist… men are not okay.

I want to support men in the ways I can but deeply hope that it’s never at the expense of myself again.

Read my full exploration on why men are struggling in particular right now, and what that shows me as a woman and as a clinician who sits with women.
