Getting to know Maria Barker

From my earliest years, I always knew I would need two things out of a career: to work with people, and for that work to make a difference. Being a mental health therapist has brought me just that. I began my career at a school district near my Wyoming hometown, where I worked with students navigating behavioral and emotional trials. I have now spent more than 40 years helping children and teens navigate substance abuse, trauma, anxiety, and depression, and over the last 5 years I’ve further expanded my focus to include adults, couples, and families who face similar challenges. As a therapist, I understand the significance of the therapist-client relationship in creating lasting change. My ultimate goal is to help clients develop the skills they need to move beyond the emotional pain that first brought them to me. When I’m not working, I’m focusing on my own mental health through gardening, camping, and spending time with my husband and 13 adorable grandchildren.
