She's truly the best there is. So thankful for her.

If you’re looking for someone who will listen and give you genuine realistic advice then book with Dr. Ozella Barnes. She doesn’t listen just to tell you what you want to hear but she listens to see how she can help you get to your place of healing and wholeness.

March 24, 2026Mercedes H.Verified patient

Ozella is very engaging, she gets to know you as a person, she's honest and give great feedback as well as assignments. I'm excited for our next session even when I know she's going to give me the truth regarding things I can improve on. I trust her and have never felt more comfortable with any other therapist. Wonderful experience.

February 24, 2026monikeya G.Verified patient

I’ve been seeing Dr. Barnes for 5 years. She has truly helped through so many changes, occurrences, and everyday life. She will tell you like it is, but also laugh and mourn with you. I’m lucky to have found her. Highly recommend!

Karla L.Verified patient

Dr. Ozella is amazing!!! Not only is she a great listener, but we also create realistic goals and expectations, she takes notes and follows up. She has flexibility with her schedule and sends confirmations. I do not feel judgement and very happy with the services she provides.

Excellent first session with Kirsten, I highly recommend.

August 24, 2022Mark J.Verified patient

I was going through a very hard and rough time in my life and didn't know how to deal with it all. I sought out therapy and I found a perfect match with Taylor. They are an absolutly amazing therapist. My time with them has bettered my mental health as well as made me a better human. I truly do not know where I would be today without them. I highly recommend giving them a shot at being your therapist.

SJVerified patient

Taylor is an incredible therapist. He has tailored my therapy experience to suit my needs, and has evolved his approach as my needs have changed over time. He has incorporated a lot of CBT tools in our therapy to help empower me to continue our work when we are not in sessions together. I cannot recommend him more highly.

JKVerified patient

Taylor is amazing! I’ve been seeing him since 2021 and he’s been instrumental in my capacity to overcome breakups, job transitions, and familial traumas. Highly recommend him to anyone that needs help managing life.

DMVerified patient

Katie was an excellent resource for me while I was struggling with depression and anxiety. She helped me recognize what was in my control and identify actions I could take to deal with depression. Katie's encouraged me to take a much-needed vacation from work, which ended up leading to a strongly positive shift. Her non-judgmental support also allowed me to voice and normalize deep concerns that have felt scary to approach in the past.

CCVerified patient

I can not recommend Nicole enough. She is professional, easy to talk to, empathetic, and pushes me to be self-reflective. I look forward to my sessions with her and feel that I have made significant gains because of our work together.

November 21, 2017Molly K.Verified patient

Terry is an exceptional therapist. His empathetic and empowering approach has taught me to show grace to myself and take charge of my well-being. He has a deep understanding of today's real-world challenges, particularly those faced by the LGBTQ+ community, and combines this with his extensive knowledge and skills in mental health counseling. The work I have done with Terry has profoundly changed my life in numerous positive ways. I cannot thank him enough and highly recommend his services.

JBVerified patient

Terry has worked with me extensively to help address my feelings, handle stressors in my life, and build skills that are applicable in the real world. Terry took the time to build trust and rapport with me, and knows just how to get you to talk about exactly what you need. I can’t recommend his services enough!

GMVerified patient

I was skeptical about therapy in the beginning. As a health care provider, it is easy to see when another health care provider truly cares, for both their patients and their practice. Terry provides a standard of care that goes beyond excellence. He is not only a wonderful listener... Terry engages with me at my comfort level and only pushes me when he knows I have been unkind to myself. Now when I think of therapy, I can't help but smile at the progress I've made. I highly recommend choosing Terry if you're looking for excellent therapists!

EHVerified patient

Terry is an incredible mental health provider, He is attentive, engaging, and extremely knowledgeable when it comes to mental health therapy. Each session he reviews our previous session topics and offers the opportunity to steer the conversation based on current concerns. I have been seeing Terry for eight months and have noticed drastic improvements in my relationship, friendships, and overall quality of life. I constantly sing his praises to those around me.

NGVerified patient

Terry is an incredibly thoughtful, personable, and insightful counselor. He has been my counselor for over a year and has always been professional and extremely attentive. I would highly recommend him to others looking for counseling. Especially other LGBTQ+ folk.

GWVerified patient

I have been seeing Terry for a year and a half. Terry really is about exchanging and conversing, not about being a sound board, which I really appreciate. Every session is helpful, intentionate, caring, and honest. Thanks to Terry, I feel like myself again and I am able to express my feelings when they were stuck inside for so long.

LBVerified patient

This and every other visit with Terry have been an absolute pleasure! Whenever I imagine the shining ideal of a therapist; the kind I think of when I recommend therapy to my friends and family, I think of Terry. I know I will never be in want of another provider, as he gives the gold standard of mental health care with every session. Would wholeheartedly suggest to anyone, 10/10

AMVerified patient

I have been coming to Pop Smiles Dentistry in Kirkland for a while now, and every visit reminds me why I stay. They are always on time, super friendly & honestly love the small touches, like a warm towel at the end of appt, regular reminders so I never forget my appointment, and always keep my fav show on before my appointment. It makes the whole experience smooth. BEST DENTIST EVER!

CYVerified patient

Sebastian is a great provider who is very helpful regarding managing present issues, but maybe more importantly teaching tools and strategies to manage issues outside of sessions. Overall, I’ve had a wonderful experience learning and improving with Sebastian’s charismatic guidance.
