About me

As a licensed therapist in Georgia, I bring over two decades of compassionate, culturally-responsive mental health experience to my practice. My approach centers on understanding and supporting individuals through complex life challenges, with specialized expertise in addressing depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, and trauma.

I am deeply committed to creating a supportive, affirming therapeutic environment that honors each client's unique identity and lived experiences. My background includes extensive work supporting women, individuals navigating workplace challenges, and those experiencing social isolation, relationship conflicts, and multicultural concerns.

My therapeutic style integrates evidence-based practices with a holistic, person-centered approach. I strive to help clients develop meaningful coping strategies, build emotional resilience, and cultivate personal growth. Whether you're struggling with mood disorders, life transitions, or seeking support through difficult experiences, I'm dedicated to walking alongside you with empathy, respect, and professional guidance.

I knew from our first session that Barnetta was the best therapist for me. She genuinely listens and helps one navigate life’s twists and turns. She has been a tremendous help in my journey this past year. I experienced grief, depression, and anxiety, all of which felt very overwhelming but Barnetta helped me unpack and address associated triggers. I experienced true breakthrough with her expertise and patience. I’m so grateful that my friend recommended BetterHelp and even more thankful that I met Barnetta.
