Getting to know Bruce Barrett

The clinical staff at Duxbury Counseling specializes in Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, and Trauma. Do you want to find the strength to manage your anxiety and depression? We use a holistic approach to treatment by building upon the strengths that each of us has inside. For the past 25 years, we have been working with clients who struggle with anxiety and depression, and I can tell you for certain two things: You are not alone, and you do not need to suffer. We provide a safe and comfortable environment to work with clients. Through a combination of psychodynamic approaches, cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindfulness training, we will help you learn the importance of self-care, how to use specific tools to reduce anxiety and depression, and how to live a happier life. I hold a PhD in Counseling Psychology from Lesley University and am conveniently located in Duxbury with hours that accommodate your schedule. It is time to prioritize your self-care. We work with children, adolescents, and adults in individual, couples, family, and group settings. We can help you take the next step toward healing and well-being.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Therapy weaves life into the fabric of our stories. I am especially interested in the challenges experienced by the adult children of military parents - Military Brats, we boldly call ourselves - and Third Culture Kids (TCKs), Ruth Useem's term for people who spent part of their development in cultures and places different from their passport country. Brats and TCKs often feel lingering culture shock long after their travels are over, if they ever are over. We may seem rootless, but our roots spread far and wide. We struggle to make sense of our wonders, worries, and wanderings; our adventures. I love deeply those adventures. Narrative Therapy (Dulwich style) cultivates awareness, wisdom, and meaning in your life, and in the lives of others. It encourages vigorous authority over our unfolding narratives. As a Brat, a TCK, I bring lived experience to our shared tasks of healing and finding - healing the aching, anger, anxiety and fear; finding new meaning, vigor, pride, and hope. Brats and TCKs leave behind more people and places than others ever meet or see. Our painful childhood good-byes became a new normal; now our growing sense of fellowship, adventure, and even duty rekindles our hearts to both meaningful purpose and priceless perspective. We thrive when we find each other again, regardless of the time passed. I promise.
