Hi there, my name is Katie Barton. My belief about the therapeutic relationship is this is one built one mutual trust, understanding and respect. My goals include working together to discover your personal goals and develop creative thought and behavioral based solutions to overcome obstacles and develop more balance. Everyone has a unique and individual story. Sometimes this story has deep and dark moments or complex traumas affecting the course of an individual's life. If you have moments in your story triggering PTSD, anxiety or depression, I would love to assist you through this and help change the areas no longer deserving of so much power in your life. I enjoy helping individuals work past areas in their mind causing them to feel stuck and disempowered. I hope to be able to work with you to feel empowered and brave enough to implement changes in your life. I believe anyone who is seeking therapy services is acting out of bravery and a willingness to improve one or multiple areas of life. I hope to work with you through this process to help you achieve this goal and manifest the change you are seeking in your life!

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

An expected takeaway from a session with me is the ability to learn to process and challenge previously adapted coping strategies (defenses, defaults, etc.). My goal is to assist clients to experiment with new behaviors and process emotional reaction in the present day.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

I primarily utilize interventions from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Rational- Emotive Behavior Therapy and mindfulness skills.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My biggest strengths lie in assisting with memories of traumatic events and the ability to begin to process and emotionally react to these memories more adaptively. I also have a strong background in assisting with anxiety and depression.
