Courtney Barnes

Hi there!

I am currently an LCSW in the states of Colorado and Indiana. I provide CBT, DBT, SFBT, and other evidence-based modalities in treatment. As a therapist, my highest priority is to create a space where you feel genuinely seen, safe, and respected. I believe that you are the ultimate expert on your own life, and my role is to walk alongside you as a collaborative partner. In our sessions, you can expect an approach that is deeply rooted in empathy, but balanced with practical, real-world tools.

My therapeutic approach blends the empathy of person-centered therapy with the practical, evidence-based tools of CBT, DBT, SFBT, and other modalities. I provide a warm, non-judgmental space where your unique experiences are validated while actively helping you build actionable skills to manage intense emotions, challenge negative thought patterns, and navigate life's challenges. Together, we will work collaboratively to help you foster self-compassion and create lasting, meaningful change.

Your first session is a gentle, collaborative introduction to our work together. It is a dedicated space designed to help you feel safe, heard, and respected from the very beginning. We will review initial paperwork and confidentiality to ensure you understand your rights and feel secure in our therapeutic space.

• Guided by a compassionate, person-centered approach, we will talk about what brings you to therapy right now. Lastly, we will discuss your goals and evidence-based tools to support you in meeting them.
