Dr. Barnes is easily the best therapist I have spoken with. She gives me real tools I can be proactive with and apply to daily life. She is patient, empathetic, and manages to be direct in the best types of ways. I could go on and on about how highly I think of her, I mean that so sincerely. She is a breath of fresh air.
Thank you Dr. Barnes.
