I don't currently accept insurance, but I can provide documentation if clients wish to submit to an insurance company for "out of network" benefit coverage
I’m Dr. Mike Brooks, an Austin Psychologist with over 20 years of experience in our community. Whether you’re seeking therapy, consultation, or a speaker to promote greater happiness and life satisfaction, I’m here to meet your needs.
I specialize in working with adolescents and adults. I offer therapy, parent consultation, and coaching for challenges like depression, anxiety, stress, and relationship difficulties. Importantly, my approach is more than traditional therapy. It is about helping you find balance and meaning in an increasingly complicated, tech-driven world.
I work with teens and adults experiencing anxiety, burnout, depression, emotional overwhelm, relationship struggles, and digital stress—often driven by a deeper sense that something about modern life isn\'t right. Many clients are high-functioning individuals navigating existential transitions, career stress, parenting challenges in the digital age, screen-time conflicts, AI-related anxiety, or loss of meaning and purpose. I specialize in working with professionals, students, parents, creatives, and spiritually curious individuals who feel stuck, disconnected, or misaligned with the pace of our hyper-connected world. Those who seek me out aren\'t just stressed—they sense something deeper is wrong. Together, we explore how their suffering often stems from living in a world we didn\'t evolve to inhabit.
