Dr. Barry Brooks
With over 28 years of experience as a licensed mental health counselor and life coach, I have helped thousands of individuals, couples, families, and groups achieve transformative life goals. My career has taken me around the world, leading workshops, training sessions, and coaching both nationally and internationally. As a seasoned Psychology professor, I have taught more than 260 courses to over 4,000 students, and I have contributed to the development of undergraduate and graduate psychology curricula worldwide.
In addition to my academic roles, I have served as President for multiple colleges and universities across Idaho, Oregon, Tennessee, and Virginia for more than 12 years. My background also includes 16 years as CEO of an Organizational Consulting Firm, where I successfully collaborated with Fortune 500 companies and federal and state agencies, including the US Postal Service, Federal Express, US Bank, and many others.
Expanding our commitment to healing and growth, we’ve opened A Way Through Counseling & Wellness Center in Nampa that offers in-person sessions for the Southern Idaho community and statewide support through telehealth. We are passionate about guiding individuals toward personal healing, growth, and success. We look forward to the opportunity to work with you and help you discover your path to well-being, starting today!
