Getting to know Karissa Barr

Hi there, I'm Karissa! You don't have to do this alone. I'm ready to meet any client where they are to work together towards a better tomorrow. I am a dedicated and passionate therapist with over a decade of experience supporting clients through all different walks of life. My focus I work with clients who need help in understanding how they got to the place they are and how to move forward from that place. How to better understand who they are and what they've been through, as well as those around them. Clients who want to change and move through their lives. My approach I use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help you identify and reshape unhelpful thoughts and better understand your own thinking patterns. My approach is practical and collaborative, giving you tools to feel more in control. I also pull from Client-Centered as well as Mindfulness. My communication style I practice active listening, clear, and open communication. I create a non-judgmental, genuine environment that is very laid back and comforting to others. My journey to mental healthcare My journey began while becoming very curious about how the human brain works and how humans feel and think differently. I have always had a pull to help others through traumatic instances and become better and stronger versions of these lives. My goals for you Therapy is a group project. We are both working together to meet the goals that you want to meet and get where you want to go. Our first session First session will probably feel nerve-racking, but once we get talking and moving through me getting to know you better, you will find those nerves slip away, and you'll be so glad you took that first step.
