Getting to know Fanteema Barnes

Hi! I'm passionate about helping people navigate stress, identity, relationships, and life transitions. Think of me like the passenger in your car. You are the driver but I am there to help guide you. I create a safe, culturally responsive space where clients feel seen and heard. My focus Are you feeling stressed about the many hats you wear? I work with women of color around issues like life transitions, relationships, trauma, and caregiver fatigue. Are you struggling with self doubt or adulting? I work with young adults on issues like self-esteem, career counseling, and anxiety. My approach I have an eclectic approach, blending elements of CBT, CPT, DBT, Mindfulness, and Somatic therapy based on the client's needs. I help you make the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors so you can start thinking and behaving in more healthy and helpful ways, which will improve your mood. My communication style I'm honest and relatable. I like to use humor and metaphors to make my point. I don't just listen or tell you what you want to hear. I provide practical strategies to apply to your every day life. I am open to feedback because this process doesn't work unless you feel it is beneficial to you. My journey to mental healthcare My journey into therapy began with a desire to support youth transitioning into adulthood and a curiosity about resilience. Over time, I specialized in working with women of color facing trauma and relationship challenges. My goal has remained the same: helping people become the best version of themselves. My goals for you We'll work together on creating goals that matter to you, not too many at once, so you don't feel overwhelmed. Together we'll assess where you are with your goals: if you accomplished them and want to end therapy, if you accomplished them and want to create new ones, or if you need to continue working on them.
