John is knowledgeable, empathetic, and provides actionable steps without applying pressure. His care, approach, and overall temperament are greatly appreciated. All of these things combined (and more) make him a truly spectacular therapist to work with. John has been a huge asset to my life at a particularly difficult time, both in concrete ways that have impacted my day-to-day quality of life and in the more ethereal and emotional aspects of life that are ever-present. I truly cannot recommend John Brooks highly enough.

John,talks to me like a friend making it easier,to talk about difficult subjects,rather than feeling like a patient.
I have been talking to him for over a year now and I can’t,imagine talking to anyone else,about my problems!
(I don’t know,what I would do without him,to help)

John is great. He takes me at my own pace. Our discussions are very enlightening as we discuss issues that I experience and provides me resources that help me learn about ways to cope. He's calm and very patient.

John knows how to give you the floor to express everything you need to. He gives great advice and tends to your exact problem. He also assigns material that hasn’t crossed your mind yet which are perfect solutions. He’s great for keeping it simple and clean and keeps your biggest concerns a priority. My first session with him felt like we were many sessions in already, I’d highly recommend him

John Brooks is the best. He keeps it honest, and supports choices. He also provides material he thinks would help the client and has a great sense of light humour when needed - which I appreciate in “heavy” times. John is professional, punctual and cares. I’ve gone through about 50 therapists between ages 8 and adulthood. John is the only one I keep wanting to go back to. Super based and has good wisdom and all of this was evident after the first session. 100% recommended.

John is a really cool guy, an excellent human and listener. He gives me tips that are straight to the point and may seem so simple but they are so effective. He listens and I can tell he wants to help and is present for everything and anything I have to say. He is not pushy but offers so many options and things to try out which also gives me hope there are many ways to get better and I didn't just try and already fail at everything. Thank you, John. I appreciate you a lot and feel lucky to have been matched with you.
