Getting to know Phillip Barker

Hi there, I'm Phillip! Hello, my name is Phillip Barker, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in identity, addiction, and personal finance. I take a client-centered approach to therapy, meeting clients exactly where they are and without judgment. My approach The clinical approach I take with clients depends on the clients themselves: what they need, what they feel comfortable with, and what style works well with engaging them in the therapeutic process. My focus I work with adolescents, young adults in life transition, LGBTQ+ individuals, and those seeking support in behavioral finance. My communication style I am gentle and sensitive in my approach to clients. I do not believe in rushing the process, so our initial session is about building rapport and trust. From there, I guide us on the journey to exploring deeper ways to enhance your life. My journey to mental healthcare A friend once asked me what I would do if I could do it for free. I said "therapist" because of how impactful my own clinician had been in my growth. So, I career-changed and earned my Master of Social Work from Loyola University Chicago in 2012. I've been practicing ever since. My goals for you I speak with clients about short- and long-term goals they have and make sure we're keeping in mind the SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-Bound) format for setting them. My first session with you A very relaxed experience talking with a new friend. It's not too intrusive, but introductory enough to get a good sense of who you are and what your needs are.
