Sometimes, it's hard to know how to change things without the help of someone you trust. Perhaps you are ready to make a change in your life...ready to finally close the gap between the way your life is and the way you would like it to be? I'd like to help you along that journey. My goal is to help each client develop a pathway to achieve inner health, resolve conflicts, and find happiness and wholeness in their lives. Here, you will find an open, safe and empathic space for transformation.
I work collaboratively with adults, couples, families, adolescents and children to help clients recognize strengths and begin finding solutions that will enhance their personal lives and relationships. I have experience helping with depression, anxiety, trauma/ptsd, dual diagnoses, substance abuse and behavioral and developmental diagnoses.
My education also includes a Masters in Art Therapy which can be used to help clients address issues that have been difficult to identify/verbalize in their lives thus far. I am also EMDR Certified. Call me at (661) 460-5123 (this # does NOT accept texts) or email at denabarnes1@yahoo.com to schedule an appointment.
