LAKISHA Y. BROOKS, LCSW
ABOUT
ABOUT LAKISHA
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has been in private practice here in Warner Robins since 2012 and previously in the states of Maryland and Texas. Over the past 25+ years, I have provided mental health services in a variety of settings to include therapeutic foster care, school social work, outpatient mental health and psychiatric rehabilitation, private practice and military mental health and family advocacy clinics. I have many years of professional and personal experience with the military.
I approach counseling from what is known as an eclectic position, meaning I enjoy working with very diverse groups of individuals utilizing therapy approaches that best suit their needs. However, I primarily utilize cognitive behavioral techniques to assist clients with identifying the link between their thoughts and feelings and how both affect their behavior and the decisions they make.
I offer faith based Christian counseling. My faith in God and the Bible as well as my education, training and experience is the foundation for my work. I believe that through Christ all things are possible. Therefore, I incorporate God and biblical principles into sessions when and if the client is open to it. However, I do respect those who do not share my beliefs and work with them accordingly. In working with clients, I believe it is important to start where the client is and counseling is approached from an open and non-judgmental perspective. I feel it is important to assist clients with becoming healthier individuals in every area of their lives, to include physical, emotional, and spiritual. I passionately believe that therapy can improve and heal lives and relationships.

STANDARD NOTICE
“Right to Receive a Good Faith Estimate of Expected Charges”
Under the No Surprises Act
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost
Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who do not have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
-
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
-
Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least one business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
-
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
-
Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
