“I have been seeing Dakota Barrow as my weekly therapist since the summer of 2024, after a very fraught history with mental health professionals in my past that resulted in a general distrust and wariness of them. I found Dakota on PsychologyToday's therapist search, and he seemed like a surprisingly good fit for my needs, and I decided to try an appointment with him. I have never worked with a mental health professional as helpful, supportive, understanding, and validating in my struggles as Dakota. He's help me put a name to the struggles I'm facing. Before Dakota, I genuinely didn't think you could end a session with a therapist feeling listened to and affirmed and feeling better even after talking about your worst struggles. I have a lot of baggage to work through, but they listen patiently and never dismiss what I have to say or what I feel my experiences have been or resulted in. Communication is open and clear, they're accommodating and compassionate, and they're professional and direct while avoiding being distant or cold like some professionals I've seen have been. I highly recommend him!”

Getting to know Dakota Barrow
As a trans individual and member of the LGBTQ+ community, my ideal client is anyone seeking a non-judgmental, safe space to be themselves. I believe we thrive when we experience belonging and acceptance. I came to this profession with the mission to bridge the gap between LGBTQ+ individuals interested in counseling and mental health professionals who can affirm their identity. I hold a Master's in Social Work from West Chester University, which has equipped me with the skills and knowledge to provide compassionate, affirming care.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
