Understanding and respecting your situation is my goal, and we will work together to set your personal goals.

As certified trauma and grief specialist, I have over fif teen years experience working with families and children, especially in cases involving sexual abuse.
As our population has become increasingly diverse, so have the demands for individualized and differentiated treatments. Rather than treating disorders generally, I apply research driven techniques to create treatment plans designed around each individual's needs. I believe in an eclectic approach to therapy, with a strong emphasis on solution focused and cognitive behavioral strategies to help adolescents, adults, and families work through life's challenges. Through evidence based treatment and empirically based treatment strategies, I create a collaborative and trusting environment for children and adolescents dealing with trauma.

My name is Nicole Barkley and I specialize in grief counseling with seniors, adults, adolescents, and children.
If you have ever suffered a loss that leaves a hole in the pit of your stomach due to losing a loved one, you may be looking for help. Loss is something many experience, but little discuss in depth. When you lose someone you love and care for, you need to have the opportunity to work through those emotions with someone who will listen. Grief can come in many different forms such as: death, disease diagnosis, divorce, and separation. Grief is also compounded when life continues and you are still grieving.

Teen Therapists

What does therapy for teenagers look like?

When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.

How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?

There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.

How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?

It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.

How do you prepare teens for therapy?

You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
