Reilly Barth

Hi, I’m Reilly, a Licensed Master Clinical Social Worker and the founder of Therapy Unboxed.

I work with individuals and couples who want to better understand themselves, strengthen their relationships, and move through life with greater clarity.

Therapy offers space to slow down, understand the patterns shaping your experiences, and begin making meaningful changes.

I hold a Master’s degree in Social Work from The University of Michigan and am currently completing advanced training in couples and sex therapy through Sexual Health Alliance.

Outside the therapy room, you can usually find me volunteering at a local animal shelter, binge-watching Law & Order, or spending time with my dog, Stevie.

My therapeutic style is warm, direct, and relational. Clients often tell me they appreciate that sessions feel honest, grounded, and actually human. I am not the kind of therapist who just nods silently while you spiral for 50 minutes. I will share observations, ask thoughtful questions, and gently challenge patterns that may be keeping you stuck.

Therapy with me tends to feel more like a meaningful conversation than a cold or overly clinical experience. You do not need to show up with the “right” words, a perfectly organized timeline, or a breakthrough ready to go. Most people don’t. Part of the work is simply slowing down, untangling what is happening beneath the surface, and making sense of it together.

The name Therapy Unboxed reflects the belief that meaningful change often begins when we step outside the boxes we’ve been placed in or the ones we’ve created for ourselves.

Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and begin understanding what brings you to therapy. We'll talk about what's feeling difficult right now, what's led you to seek support, and what you hope will be different as a result of therapy.

I take a collaborative and engaged approach, so you can expect more than just me nodding and taking notes. I'll ask questions, offer observations, and help you start making sense of patterns that may be keeping you stuck.

Whether you're navigating relationship concerns, life transitions, questions about intimacy, or simply feeling unsure about your next step, our first session is about creating clarity and identifying where we want to focus our work together.

You don't need to have everything figured out before you arrive. My job is to help you explore the questions you're carrying and move toward a life and relationships that feel more aligned with who you are.
