“The wound is the place where the light enters you” – Rumi. Life stressors can contribute to feelings of anxiety, depression, loneliness, and even hopelessness. If you are feeling any of these, know that you are not alone. I trust in the power of therapy to re-examine stressful situations in a therapeutic environment. I am passionate about working with adults, children, and families to help identify barriers and dysfunctions; and to help facilitate positive changes to reinstate normal functions.

Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and I have over 20 years of experience working with individuals dealing with mental illness. I have worked both in private practice and in an acute care psychiatric hospital providing individual, group, and family therapy. I am comfortable treating all mental health issues, including helping those in crisis. I have extensive experience working with individuals dealing with self-injury, anxiety/depression, pre and postpartum depression, and PTSD, and abuse issues. My philosophy in working with clients is to provide the best well-rounded care while focusing and building upon strengths.

Therapy is different for everyone but regardless of circumstance, I offer an empathetic and collaborative experience; together we will diligently work toward your own specific goals, needs, and healing. Most of my clients are looking to improve the health of their relationships, learn how to properly set boundaries, address a trauma history that is negatively affecting their daily life, or more generally address symptoms of anxiety and depression as a whole.

I believe that people are generally capable of overcoming obstacles in their lives, but sometimes they need help with finding the right tools. I provide hope, encouragement, insight, and guidance so that my clients can find their path to happiness. My goal for clients is to help them become more effective, insightful, self-confident, and successful at overcoming future hurdles in their own lives and in their relationships.

People often ask why I work with people affected by trauma. Why? Because I am passionate about the lifelong impacts of undiagnosed and untreated trauma on a person’s life. I am also passionate about the resilience of people and their ability to heal when proper care is provided and barriers are removed. Trauma is treatable, and no one need be “stuck” with its long-term aftereffects. We can heal from trauma, and it would be a privilege to work with you on your healing journey. Finally, building safety, trust, and collaboration are at the heart of everything we do in our work together. And you are always in the lead.

Many of us have found ourselves struggling to make sense of the unexpected in life. When we get overwhelmed, it can lead to struggles with anxiety, depression. connecting with others, and difficulty functioning after highly stressful or traumatic events. My role as a therapist is to come alongside you and support you in processing life's challenges and developing a path forward. Understanding yourself and the impacts of your experiences can give you the opportunity to build deeper connections with those you love and make peace with your journey. Whether you are seeking support for yourself or your child, I offer specialized support.

My name is Kathleen Barnes, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I graduated from University of Southern California with my MSW in children, family and military clinical social work. I have experience working with diverse populations using many counseling techniques to include Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Protocol, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Trauma therapy, Motivational therapy and Brief Intervention Solution-based focused therapy. My experience is with individuals that struggle from stress and anxiety from everyday life to severe or mild mental health symptoms and trauma/PTSD.

I work with trauma survivors who find themselves locked into old patterns of behavior that can be confusing or damaging. My clients are often stressed out and overwhelmed. They focus on keeping everyone around them happy and are cued into any slight sign of conflict. They are often perfectionists and overachievers, but they have a hard time feeling good about themselves. They struggle to feel safe and connected in relationships and often have attachment styles that have been shaped by trauma and can feel anxious or disconnected and suffocated.

Not Accepting New Clients At This Time - Do you feel like you're doing "everything right" yet you still feel like something is "off"? Somehow you feel both anxious and depressed at the same time yet you can't pinpoint why? Or maybe you can pinpoint why - you just received an unwanted diagnosis, a loved one passed away, you're dealing with past trauma, going through a divorce, or trying to adjust from living at home to living in a dorm. Maybe in an effort to cope, you've turned to alcohol, food or some other escape. But you're tired of just surviving and you're ready to start thriving.

I look for clients that are serious about change, tired of the dead ends and ready to step into a new life path as their best selves. My practice offers tools for trauma, depression, anxiety, and also works to progress life's bigger picture, and aid the search for direction and purpose that we often feel is missing. This toolset includes EMDR and Internal Family Systems, as well the creation of a healing space to reflect. We can bring about hope to the stuck parts of our worlds, and gain an edge to finally be fully present in our own lives and relationships again. Email is preferred to take the next step and see if we fit!

Hi, I'm Vanessa (they/them), and my practice centers gender identity and exploration, sexuality, polyamory, and religious trauma. I often work with queer and trans folks navigating difficult family dynamics or working through barriers to accessing gender-affirming care. I practice within an intersectional framework, seeking to hear and understand your lived experiences. My own lived experience as a queer person and an immigrant influences my practice. I maintain a deep curiosity toward our systems and ways of being, and this leads me to constantly question societal structures that oppress, restrict, and exclude.

How we feel is central to how we live our lives. Whether you are struggling within a relationship, looking to overcome childhood trauma or navigating stressors in your life, I can help you to identify patterns and empower the change within yourself to alter your path. Give me a call or send me an email to see if we are a good match. Having a strong therapeutic alliance is key to promoting change. I am also a Hispanic identified therapist and have a strong understanding of the cultural influences of Hispanic culture.
