Lisa Brooks

My name is Lisa Brooks and I am a pediatric OT with 10 years of experience working with the 0-21 population primarily in NYC. Two years ago, I moved to Vancouver and continued to treat kids in the U.S. via telehealth. Now that my family has decided to make Vancouver our permanent home, I have become a registered clinical counsellor. I am using my OT background and skills in SI, executive functioning and emotional regulation skills to practice counselling with a neurodivergent population of children and their families.

I utilize play therapy, art therapy and CBT to connect with children and be a trusting resource who can be supportive of the whole family. I am a ND affirming trauma informed therapist with a holistic understanding of child development and I am to educate and support the entire family. I work with children and also parents looking for support.

I also have many years of institutional knowledge in schools and can help navigate the school environment to make learning more accessible for all.
