  • 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.

    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.

    Dawn-CDSci Ottman
  • Dr. Brook's therapy changed my life. I was hesitant, but I truly owe him a lot. I used to be afraid to leave the house, so I didn't. I used to have panic attacks about the things that happened to me, ones that would last for hours. After a few appointments all of this stopped. I am a completely different person and I can't begin to explain how much this has helped me.

    Madelyn Butera

    Gordana C
  • I was ready to address the areas of stress and internal beliefs when I found Dr. Brooks. The road that I thought would be long and difficult, wasn't. EMDR works! I'm very grateful.

    Charla Grace
  • I had some serious doubts going into trying EMDR based on how many years I had wasted on traditional therapy. However, I noticed a dramatic reduction in my anxiety as well as a newfound peace and openness towards life that I haven't felt in a very long time.
