Getting to know Brandy Barnes

Hi there, I'm Brandy! I describe change like dropping a pebble in the water; you take the first step of launching forward, you don't know where you will land, but you know that this change will make an impact. I congratulate you on starting your journey, and I’m here to support you along the way. I specialize in working with individuals navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, and trauma. I take a client-centered, collaborative approach to therapy, tailoring each session to your unique needs and goals. I’m here to provide a safe and supportive environment where you can be your authentic self! My approach I use an integrative approach to therapy from CBT to help you identify and reshape thoughts/feelings and behaviors, to EMDR to process trauma, and modalities in between. I don't take a one approach fits all but instead tailor my therapeutic style to the individual needs of my clients. This approach is client-centered. Together, we’ll identify goals and work on strategies to help you move forward. My focus Have you been struggling with anxiety and depression? I work with people of all ages, managing anxiety, life transitions, and those seeking support with depression. Whether you’re working through trauma, building coping skills, or exploring your personal goals, I’ll work with you to create a plan that feels achievable to you. My communication style I prioritize maintaining an open, warm and supportive, non-judgmental environment. I practice active listening and will give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences while feeling supported. My journey to mental healthcare I bring over twenty years of experience working in diverse clinical settings, including but not limited to: psychiatric hospitals, medical/psychiatric units, case managing dual diagnosis/felon population, substance use and recovery, and launching a wellness program under a large insurance corporation. Over the last ten years.
