Welcome
In arriving here, you've opened the door to an emotionally safe place, a judgment-free zone where you'll find compassion, respect and unconditional support.
For the past seven years, since earning a master's degree in marriage and family therapy, I've been treating teens and their families, individuals and couples in transition, and adults suffering from depression and anxiety.
My approach is based on Humanistic Therapy, which holds that each of us is inherently worthy and that the path to genuine happiness leads through self-understanding and self-improvement. Within that framework, I offer practical techniques for achieving emotional wellness.
With families, that may mean developing effective communication skills, setting limits or addressing feelings of unfairness. With individuals, it can take the form of promoting awareness, setting priorities or Mindfulness Cognitive Therapy (MBCT.com). With all of my clients, treatment is highly collaborative, carefully tailored to specific goals and frequently informed by creative interests.
It's been said that life is 10 percent what happens to you and 90 percent how you respond to what happens to you. I can help you take control of your responses. Together, we can turn what may seem like insurmountable challenges into opportunities for self-determination, personal growth and ultimately, creating a more meaningful life.
To get started, call 323-393-3678 or e-mail rlbarr.mft@gmail.com. I hope to see you soon.
