My background allows me to understand people deeply while also recognizing the real-world pressures they navigate every day. Whether we’re working through trauma, rebuilding confidence, or creating a path forward, you’ll find that our work together is grounded, strategic, and truly transformative.

Virtual • Laurel, DE


Life has taught me so much. After the school of hard knocks I decided to go to a real college and found that I was not only bright but I had a real talent for helping people. I completed my Ph.D. in clinical psychology specializing in neuropsychological assessments. I was lucky enough to complete a residency at the A. I Dupont Children's hospital. I have also worked with crises units, residential teen facilities, developmental clinics and the division of prevention and behavioral health through the state. I opened my own private practice in January 1999 where i specialized in therapy for children, teens and adults. Now after retiring with 20 years from the state, I am more relaxed and less pressured. I take my time with people, listen to their needs and work with them to help find solutions.

Lakeisha Barnes

Therapist

Virtual • Delaware


As an LCSW with over a decade of experience supporting vulnerable kids, families, and adults, I’ve learned that healing happens when deep expertise meets genuine human connection. I specialize in substance use recovery and youth mental health, with degrees from the University of Delaware and West Chester University. My background is built for the "real world"—helping families navigate high-stakes systems like school IEP/504 meetings, disciplinary boards, hospital teams, and the foster care system.

I’m a firm believer that the world needs more laughter and that therapy doesn’t always have to feel heavy.

When I’m not in the office, I’m usually painting or recharging near the ocean or in nature. I bring that same creative, relatable presence to our sessions, ensuring you feel truly seen, supported, and—whenever possible—a little lighter.
