Takisha Brooks

I'm Takisha Brooks, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and the founder of Intentional Relationship Therapy. I work with couples who love each other and want their relationship, but somewhere along the way have started to feel more like roommates than partners. Between careers, parenting, caregiving, responsibilities, and everyday demands of life, it can become easy to manage a household together while slowly losing the emotional connection that once made your relationship feel close. Maybe important conversations are avoided because they never seem to go anywhere. Or perhaps nothing feels terribly "wrong," but you both know your relationship doesn't feel the way you want it to anymore. My approach to couples therapy is practical, intentional, and focused on helping you understand the patterns that keep you disconnected. Together, we look to strengthen communication, rebuild emotional closeness, and create healthier ways of relating to one another in the middle of real life. I believe couples don't have to wait until their relationship is in crisis to ask for help. Sometimes the most important step is simply recognizing that you have drifted apart, and deciding together that you want something different. My goal is to provide a space where both partners feel heard, understood, and supported as you learn how to reconnect, not just as parents, providers, or partners managing responsibilities, but as a couple. I provide therapy exclusively through Telehealth and am licensed to work with clients located in Indiana, Illinois, and Florida.
