Hi, I’m Brooke.

Brooke Rawls, LMFT, at Palisades Park in Santa Monica

I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) located in West Los Angeles, CA. My private practice, Light Minds Child and Family Therapy, is dedicated to supporting children, adolescents, young adults, and parents.

I have over 10 years of experience supporting children, teens, young adults, and parents in a variety of settings such as pre and post adoption services, alcohol and drug services, community mental health services, schools, and outpatient mental health services. I firmly believe that in order for my clients to see growth and obtain a “light mind”, it’s essential to have a therapeutic environment that is non-judgmental, trusting, validating, and supportive.

All of my services take place via secure telehealth. There's no waiting room, no commute, no awkward lobby small talk. Just you in a space where you're already comfortable. I've found that clients open up more easily in their own environment, and I get to see a more authentic version of who they are.

That comfort is where the work begins. I want you to feel like you're meeting with someone who genuinely cares, not checking boxes or watching the clock. Building trust matters more to me than any technique I can teach.

Based in Los Angeles, I'm licensed in California, Florida, and Utah. Many of my clients are right here on the Westside: Santa Monica, Brentwood, Westwood, Pacific Palisades, and beyond.

Process for Getting Started

  • Step 1: Schedule Consult and Intake Session

    Use the contact form to schedule a consultation.

    After the consultation, you have the option to schedule a 50 minute intake session via telehealth, where I can learn more about your needs, answer any questions you may have, and determine whether we are a good fit.

    Prior to our intake meeting, I will send over my intake forms for you to review and sign through the client portal. These forms must be completed before the intake session.

  • Step 2: Identify Plan for Sessions

    There is no pressure and no commitment to sessions following the intake session. I care most that you find the right clinician for your needs. After the intake session, I will follow up to see how the meeting went and whether you would like to move forward with sessions. If I am the right clinician for you then we will develop a plan for the structure of sessions moving forward.

  • Step 3: See Growth and Change

    I am determined to see you succeed in reaching your goals. I cannot promise that the journey will be easy, but I can assure you that you are no longer alone. We will work together as a team to get you unstuck and living the life you want to live.

Start holding space for yourself.
