“Finding the right therapist can be such a frustrating journey. For the longest time, I felt like I kept running into the classic 'How does that make you feel?' dynamic without getting any real progress. Working with Rae has been a complete breath of fresh air. She is the exact opposite‚Äîshe actively engages in the conversation, shares valuable perspectives, and offers real opinions rather than just nodding along. She is truly amazing, and I am so grateful I found her. I highly recommend her”

Hi there, I'm Raeesha! Hello, I'm Rae Barnes, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). I use a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Humanistic, Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness-based CBT to create a supportive and personalized approach to therapy. My focus areas include helping individuals manage depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, anger, stress, career concerns, and building effective coping skills. My approach I combine Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Humanistic, Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness-based CBT to tailor a supportive and personalized therapy experience. My focus I help individuals navigate depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, anger, stress, career concerns, and develop effective coping skills. My communication style My communication style is very relaxed. My journey to mental healthcare My journey to becoming a therapist began with a deep curiosity about human behavior and a desire to help people navigate life's challenges. I've always been drawn to understanding how our thoughts, emotions, and experiences shape us, and I knew I wanted a career where I could make a meaningful difference in people's lives. What attracted me most to this work was the opportunity to create a safe space where individuals feel seen, heard, and empowered to make positive changes. Seeing people overcome obstacles, find clarity, and build fulfilling lives drives me every day. It's a privilege to walk alongside my clients as they work toward growth and healing, and I'm constantly inspired by their resilience and courage. My goals for you I use a client-centered approach to establish short-term goals that lead to overall long-term growth. My first session with you In our first session, we'll focus on building a comfortable and trusting connection. We'll start by discussing your reasons for seeking therapy and any challenges you're currently facing.
