Erin Barbus

I provide supportive, individual therapy for people working across the behavioral health field—especially those who spend their days caring for others and have limited space to focus on their own needs. I work with clinicians, supervisors, administrators, paraprofessionals, case managers, and other behavioral health professionals experiencing burnout, compassion fatigue, moral distress, chronic stress, or work-related emotional strain. Therapy offers a space to process the impact of this work and develop sustainable strategies for personal and professional well-being.

Most of my clients spend their days holding space for others. In our sessions, you get to put that down. I draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to work with the emotional weight that accumulates in demanding clinical work, and on CBT and Solution-Focused approaches to build practical strategies that hold up in a full schedule. Sessions move at your pace and stay grounded in what matters most to you.

Our first session starts with what has brought you here and what has become most unsustainable. There is no intake script. I listen, ask real questions, and we begin to build a picture of what sustainable looks like for you. Therapy with me is collaborative, grounded, and tailored to your situation. We work together to build resilience, refine boundaries, and address what arises from doing emotionally demanding work, without the pressure to perform or hold space for others.
