Lakeisha Barnes

Lakeisha Barnes

Therapist

Virtual • Delaware


I believe that healing happens best in a space that feels both professional and human. With over a decade of experience supporting vulnerable children, families, and adults, I’ve dedicated my career to helping people navigate their most challenging seasons—specializing in substance use recovery and child and adolescent mental health.

My background is rooted in a BA in Psychology from the University of Delaware and an MSW from West Chester University. While my training prepared me to navigate complex medical and educational systems like school IEP/504 meetings, disciplinary boards, hospital teams, and the foster care system, my real-world experience has taught me that every individual and family needs a unique, compassionate approach.

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 glued to a good book. I believe that therapy, much like art, is a process of creation and discovery, and I’d be honored to walk that path with you.

Find the right addiction counselor for you

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Newark, DE

Finding addiction therapists in Newark starts with matching your needs to the right clinical experience. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, substance use, prescription substance concerns, gambling, and other behavioral patterns. Some therapists use approaches like motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction, or relapse prevention planning. Some people may also work with a prescriber as part of their care team, so it can help to look for therapists who coordinate with other healthcare professionals when needed.

Newark is a smaller city, so local addiction therapists with immediate availability may be limited. Virtual therapy can expand your options across Delaware while still giving you access to care from home. As you compare therapists, look at appointment availability, whether they are accepting new patients, and how they describe their approach to addiction care. Recovery paths can change over time, so it may help to choose a therapist whose bio clearly signals nonjudgmental care, harm reduction experience, and support for your specific concerns.

Therapy in Newark can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway makes it easier to find addiction therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, see estimated costs before booking, and compare therapists by specialty, availability, and format. You can review bios, check fit, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:

* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
