  • Dr. Brooks and EMDR greatly improved my mental health. It was refreshing to treat the issue without months and months of talk therapy. I would highly recommend Dr. Brooks’ approach to treating PTSD and anxieties.

  • I started seeing Dr. Brooks for EMDR therapy after experiencing many challenges and stressors. He has been such a huge part of my journey. I feel more like myself and am back to my normal routine. If you’re on the fence, I say try it and see it first hand change your life. He’s a great doctor and makes therapy enjoyable. I 100% recommend Dr. Brooks.

  • Dr. Brooks has been very helpful in working through a lot of things in my past. Basically, PTSD symptoms went away or were greatly lessened like nightmares, awful sleep, and "triggers". I highly recommend anyone struggling with stuff like this to see Dr. Brooks at Dakota Trauma Therapy.

  • The results I got from EDMR and Dr. Brooks far exceeded what I thought possible. If you have PTSD or past emotional trauma than I highly recommend you try Dakota Trauma Therapy and Dr. Brooks, I suffered needlessly for far too long when real help was a call away.

  • EMDR therapy helped me a lot. May seem simple, I was skeptical at first, but it really works.

    Cat Sillitti
  • When I started therapy, I thought there was no way this treatment would be helpful. After 6 appointments, I can’t think of any trauma that needs to be treated. Thank you, Dr. Brooks. You were amazing.

  • Dr. Brooks has been treating me for PTSD for years. His EMDR Therapy has allowed this veteran to once again sleep through the night and avoid daytime panic attacks. I highly recommend him.
