Glad to be here!

Hey everyone! I’m Dr. Vanessa R. Brooks—so excited to be here and grateful to Ashley for inviting me into this space.

I’m a faith-based executive leadership and mental health consultant, and I specialize in helping helping professionals and institutions build trauma-informed leadership systems that reduce burnout, increase emotional sustainability, and improve organizational culture.

I run Brooks Consulting & Training Solutions, where my North Star offer, WellnessCare360™, equips churches, universities, and human service agencies with strategic infrastructure rooted in neuroscience, pastoral care, and leadership development. I also lead the Vanguard Strategic Leader Certification™, a professional pathway for individual leaders navigating burnout, compassion fatigue, and structural overwhelm.

My work is anchored in my proprietary I.M.P.A.C.T. Theory™, which integrates mental health literacy, faith-based strategic leadership, and systems thinking to drive sustainable change across teams and institutions.

I’ve spent over 30 years in ministry and human services, and I hold a doctorate in Executive Leadership in Mental Health. But more than anything—I’m passionate about fixing broken leadership models so visionaries can serve without sacrificing themselves.

Can’t wait to connect and grow with y’all!
