About

First and foremost, I commend you for reaching out for help. My name is Jennifer Barnes. I have been a Certified Substance Abuse Counselor since 2001 and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 2005. My passion has been working with individuals to overcome addiction, and I also specialize in recovery from depression, anxiety, stress, relationship issues, and military family issues. I utilize an individualized approach, meeting each individual where they are. I focus on a combination of positive psychology, strengths perspective, solution-focused therapy, mindfulness, and CBT techniques. I am flexible in scheduling sessions and I look forward to working with you. You got this!
