My name is Teresa Barnes. I’m Licensed in the State of Michigan with over 3O years of experience. I have extensive experience working with children that have behavior problems and trauma. Acceptance Therapy has been very effective and the foundation of what I believe as a social worker which is to start therapy at the clients pace and to effectively engage them in therapeutic process. It’s is my aspiration and goal to help my clients thrive and achieve success according to their definition of success.
Clients can expect openness about what to expect in therapy and the billing process. I’m willing to working with anyone that has any billing concerns.
I’m very compassionate, thorough and genuine. I attempt to be consistent with keeping appointments and have a willingness to consider and foster my clients ideas and aspirations.
My ideal client is open to suggestions in the therapeutic process and consistent and serious about keeping their appointments. I would also like them to feel comfortable enough to voice their honest opinions in therapy.
