Hello, My name is Barry Parker. I am a Christian, husband, father, Therapist, and animal lover. I am licensed in Indiana with 27 years of professional work experience. I have seen it all, during my years, not much surprises me. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, & coping with grief and loss. I have worked with children as young as 5, teenagers (who often are not that accepting to therapy) and to adults as old as 107. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. My role to refine, define and develop existing and new tools in your tool bag to take on life. You are taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life, which takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.
I believe one of the key elements of therapeutic bond. Due to personal trauma, I am not a good fit for the LGBT+ community.
I do not take cases with active court involvement, Child abuse with DFC involvement.
I am a animal lover, have 3 dogs and 4 cats, not to mention chickens and rabbits. I am easy going and do not use a lot of Therapy Speak, I tend to talk with my clients as I would with anybody else. Using my skills to connect the dots of what's going on in your life, to make sense of it, the best I can.
Hope to see you soon,
I'll leave the light on.
Barry

Barry has helped me grow as a person in just a few sessions. He listens and offers great insight, he’s able to connect dots and point things out that I didn’t even think of. I was able to open up and not feel judged. We have wonderful conversations and I’m able to just be me. I could not be happier with my experience so far.

Written on Jun 05, 2026 after therapy with Barry for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, and grief
Barry and I connected from our very first conversation. Before working with him, I had gone through a few therapists on BetterHelp, but many of those sessions felt more focused on the therapist than on me and the issues I was trying to address.
What I appreciate most about Barry is that he doesn’t automatically take sides. Even when I feel like I may be at fault, he helps me see the situation from a balanced perspective and recognize where my feelings or actions may be justified as well. He’s an excellent listener, and I never feel like just another client. I genuinely feel that my needs, concerns, and personal growth are his priority during our sessions.

I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a supportive and insightful therapist.

Barry is genuine and really listens. We’ve only just started our journey so I’m only speaking from the few sessions we’ve had so far but I really think he’s trying to get to know the inner me. The person that not everyone else gets to see. I like his feedback and he feels like a safe place for me to confide.
