Why it matters
Objective insights derived from a broad clinical perspective
Not all evaluations are the same. Dr. Brooks’ approach is grounded in data, experience, and objectivity.
Dr. Brooks’ specialized training and extensive experience allow patterns to emerge that are often missed when an assessment is approached too narrowly or too quickly. His process includes built-in validity measures: tests within tests that detect the accuracy and effort of the results. He also often conducts independent family interviews to ensure the final report is comprehensive and unbiased.
Effective assessment requires more than administering tests; it requires knowing how to interpret them, when to question them, and how to see the full picture. This breadth matters.
Dr. Brooks’ work is shaped by experience across:
-
Inpatient and outpatient psychiatric settings
-
Substance-use and dual-diagnosis treatment environments
-
Neurological and brain-injury populations
-
Forensic and high-stakes legal contexts
When it matters
This is a focused, specialized practice. Evaluations are thorough, individualized, and designed to directly address the questions of patients and families.
The goal is not simply to label symptoms, but to provide:
→ Meaningful diagnostic clarity
→ Practical, actionable recommendations
→ Insight into WHY previous approaches may not have worked
For the right cases, this clarity can change the trajectory of care, decision-making, or outcomes.
