Getting to know Dr. Gwendolyn Barnhart
Hi there, I'm Gwendolyn!
As a licensed clinical psychologist with a PsyD in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University Seattle, as well as an EdD and PhD in Psychology from Walden University, I bring a wealth of experience and dedication to my practice, working with individuals across the lifespan. My extensive background includes supporting individuals with autism, developmental and intellectual disabilities, and serious mental illness.
My approach
My approach to therapy is grounded in humanistic and existential principles, emphasizing the unique experiences and potential of each individual. I am trained in narrative therapy, solution-focused therapy, positive psychology, and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), allowing me to tailor my methods to best meet the needs of my clients.
My focus
I specialize in working with people with autism, intellectual and/or cognitive disabilities, ADHD, and OCD. My commitment is to foster a compassionate and understanding environment where clients feel empowered and valued.
My communication style
In sessions with me, clients can expect to embark on a journey of self-discovery and personal growth, guided by the principles of humanistic and existential psychology. My approach emphasizes the importance of each individual's unique experience and the inherent potential for self-actualization. By fostering an environment of genuine warmth and concern, I strive to create a safe space where clients feel truly seen and heard. Through our work together, clients can gain deeper insights into their values, beliefs, and purpose, while also developing the tools to navigate life's challenges with greater resilience and authenticity. Ultimately, clients can expect to leave sessions feeling empowered, more connected to their true selves, and ready to embrace their life's journey with renewed clarity and purpose.

I booked a few days ahead on zocdoc and was contacted by this psychologists office the previous day for insurance verification which went through without issue. My appointment was then cancelled over email a few hours prior to the scheduled time citing that
“ Your provider requested that we help you find a better match
Many people meet with more than one before finding the right match.”
I was a new patient and have never met with this psychologist before. I felt this was an unprofessional and condescending way to cancel an appointment. Scheduling issues happen but it is absurd to say that she wants to cancel a new patient appointment the day of the appointment because we are not a good match.
