Valerie Barrett

My work focuses on supporting individuals navigating stress, anxiety, and depression—whether these challenges have been ongoing or are tied to a life transition. Many of my clients seek support during periods of change, such as navigating dissatisfaction in their work or personal lives, becoming a new parent, or raising teenagers. In therapy, you'll have space to explore what’s working, what’s not, and what truly matters to you—so you can take steps toward living with greater clarity, purpose, and intention. Special Focus on Parenting & Life Transitions People come to me when they feel overwhelmed by the emotional toll of parenting. You might be a new parent adjusting to the shifting roles and routines of family life—or a parent navigating the emotional ups and downs of parenting teens and feeling like your reactions don’t align with the kind of parent you want to be. Whether you're struggling to balance your needs with those of your family or feeling lost in the chaos of change, you're not alone—and things can get better. How I work I use evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). My therapeutic style is warm, empathetic, and collaborative. I focus on your strengths and support your personal growth through education, insight, and practical, skills-based strategies. Let's Connect Together, we’ll clarify your goals and develop a personalized path forward.
