Brian Stokes

Licensed Master Social Worker

He/Him/His

I’m a passionate therapist dedicated to creating a warm, safe, and empowering environment where you can feel truly heard and supported. My approach to therapy emphasizes collaboration and partnership, where you are at the center of your healing process.

​

I have extensive experience across a variety of roles, from helping individuals overcome substance abuse to supporting families and communities through proactive programs. I believe life’s challenges can become opportunities for transformation, and I am committed to helping you tap into your inner strength to thrive, no matter the transitions you're facing.

​

Artistic and spiritual expression can be incredibly powerful in the healing and self-discovery process. I strive to bring that sense of creativity into my sessions, recognizing that everyone has unique ways of expressing themselves.

​

In addition to my work as a therapist, I’m also a worship leader and a creative at heart, with a deep love for music. My Christian faith is important to me, and it informs my values of empathy, compassion, and love for all people. That being said, I am open and committed to working with individuals from all backgrounds and belief systems.

​

Whether you’re adjusting to parenthood, starting a new career, navigating relationships, or simply looking to grow, I am here to walk alongside you. I also work with individuals navigating life after the military and provide couples counseling, helping partners build stronger, more connected relationships. Together, we will build confidence, resilience, and actionable strategies to move through life’s complexities with purpose.

​

I’m committed to addressing mental health challenges in underrepresented communities, particularly for Black and brown individuals seeking a therapist who understands their unique experiences. It’s an honor for me to hold space for people from all walks of life, and I know how powerful it can be to work with someone who genuinely gets it.

My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and empowered to reach your goals. This is your time, and I am here to support and guide you through every step of your journey—creatively, spiritually, and therapeutically. Together, we can build the life you want, one session at a time.
