Getting to know Desiree Barber

Hi there, I'm Desiree! Having worked with diverse populations, I understand the complexities and unique situations many clients may be encountering post-pandemic. I will offer you clinical support, encouragement, and a safe space to express yourself with no judgment, pressure, or expectation of expediency. My approach With over 35 years of proven clinical skills as a licensed practitioner and therapist, Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), supportive, insight, and motivational therapy are my clinical signatures. My focus If you desire mental and emotional healing as well as to honestly examine your life, past and present, we're ready to begin! While your utmost concerns will always take priority, together we will explore the origins of thoughts, behaviors, and impulses that have negatively predominated and separated you from your best self. I specialize in working with those challenged by career changes, employment and housing uncertainty, family and relationship difficulties, mid-life crisis, empty-nest/new retirement transitions, artists with creative blocks, parental adult-caretakers, post-pandemic struggles with anxiety, low motivation, loss of energy. My practice is for adult women only. My communication style You will be embraced and accepted for who you are. My communication style is easy, engaging, and solution-oriented. I am inquisitive, attentive, and deeply invested in your well-being. My only expectation is that you arrive at therapy with a true intent for self-actualization, reflection, and healing. My goals for you Together, we will identify your best assets and build a realistic treatment plan that complements your aspirations. Upon assessment, I will determine the most useful tools to strengthen your resolve, re-focus your goals, and reshape your priorities. We both want the best outcomes for your future, and that evolution comes through continued self-examination, honesty, and commitment to your goals.
