Licia Brooks, Psicóloga Clínica - 11000 Ciudad de México

We've been working with Dr. Brooks for several months now, and I could not recommend her more. Her way of approaching topics bluntly and straight to the point was what I needed, and the fact that she speaks both English and Spanish has also been of huge help, especially when dealing with topics relating to culture.

Truly life-changing. Licia's therapy and her "no beat around the bush" advice have helped me ground myself, always leaving me with a better sense of clarity and determination. Working with Licia has been a transforming process ever since day one, and even though we are always changing topics, the guidance she provides are always so clear, tangible and easy to apply. I couldn't recommend anyone more strongly. PS. she's fully bilingual, so expats moving to Mexico, she is THE best.

I started sessions with Licia in late March. She has helped me navigate a number of topics: transitioning to my new life in Mexico City as a foreigner (and how to start building community), dealing with confidence and anxiety in a new romantic relationship, and also how to start getting cynical with my inner-critic (essentially, equipping me with a new tool for my self-esteem and body issues). I'll be very transparent—her approach may be jarring at first for someone who's more used to the "objective/doesn't bring their opinion into the room/guides you towards your own realizations" type of therapy. She certainly asserts her own perspectives and, in that regard, feels like a life coach at times. Something that's particularly helpful and unique about Licia is her cross-cultural abilities and understanding; in particular, American culture meeting Mexican culture. To give an example, she once pointed out that something my partner did is common behavior among couples in Mexico. She also has good humor to her. It's nice to have a little laugh every now and then in therapy. If you're a foreigner from the states looking for a firm but empathetic, insightful therapist who'll occasionally crack a joke, I would definitely recommend Licia.

The sessions with Licia have helped me tremendously make sense of some issues I had been dealing with in my life as well as navigating the challenge of becoming a new mom, moving countries and COVID. She is great at what she does, always offering a new perspective, challenging my own views with her direct but kind words. I highly recommend her.

Literally the best therapist I’ve ever had. Dr. Licia is an awesome listener and provides very insightful and helpful feedback and advice. I feel as if she truly cares about me working through my issues effectively and she has been teaching me how to navigate through life better. So happy to have found her

Our experience with Dr. Licia was wonderful. She takes the time to listen, ask insightful questions and dig deep to the root of the problem. one of the best therapists I’ve spoken with! I always leave session with her feeling more clear about things, more appreciate of relationships and just happier overall :)

Licia is the first therapist I have and has made the whole experience enjoyable, effective, and worthwhile. She's a compassionate listener while also insightful in her responses and assessment of the various topics we discuss. I always leave our sessions feeling refreshed and motivated by the clarity she's provided. I can't recommend her enough!

By far the most effective therapist I've ever worked with. Licia has so much knowledge and understanding about relationships, navigating moving to a new place, finding community and I imagine so much more. I appreciate that she always says it how it is and gives so much clarity to what I'm trying to articulate. I started working with Licia when I was in a really challenging place and I really feel so grateful for the space she gave me to be heard as much as the guidance she gave. Licia is truly an expert at what she does, and I couldn't recommend her more!
