Hello! I'm Ryan Barker and I have been a therapist in NC working with children, adolescents, families, and adults since 2018. I attended Clemson University for my undergrad in Psychology and then attended Western Kentucky University to complete my Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I have also completed my training and rostering in trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy, or TF-CBT.
My approach to therapy is one that is both specific and solution focused, but with room to be flexible and open. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.
Initially, I like to cover what it is that brings people to therapy. From that initial session, I will support you in identifying what your goals will be and we will start digging in there! I hope to foster an environment of trust, openness, and curiosity.
