Hello, my name is Demitra Barnes and I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, #133431. I'm here to help, I will support you in navigating life's most difficult challenges. My style is very compassionate and collaborative. I'll meet you where you are in life and walk alongside you on your journey to healing and personal growth.

My approach

My style of work is from a client-centered and holistic approach that integrates several techniques to meet the needs of my clients. I believe in the mind, body, and spirit connection, and use this to encourage self-awareness, insight, personal growth, healing, self-compassion, and overall well-being. Some of the most common theoretical approaches I use are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused, Mindfulness-Based, and Marital Therapy.

My focus

I work with adults and couples. I have a passion for working with people of color and diverse backgrounds. My specialties include grief and loss, life transitions, depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, life purpose, and spirituality.

My communication style

I provide a welcoming and nonjudgmental space where you feel respected, validated, understood, and empowered. I've been known for my ability to connect with clients while creating a safe space for them to open up freely to share and explore what is on their minds and in their hearts.

My goals for you

In our work, we first start by understanding where you are currently and then we hold the vision of your desired outcome. Together, we'll develop achievable goals, build upon your inner strengths, and focus on finding practical solutions and coping strategies that work for your specific situation and individual needs.
